Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi continues her successful “Alakada” franchise with the upcoming release “Alakada: Bad and Boujee.” Further, this marks the fifth instalment in a series that has captivated Nigerian audiences since its 2009 debut.

Moreover, the franchise has consistently evolved. Previous iterations were in 2013 (“Alakada 2“), 2017 (“Alakada Reloaded“), and 2020 (“Fate of Alakada: The Party Planner“).

Throughout the series, Abraham portrays Yetunde, a young woman from a modest background who compensates for her socioeconomic insecurities by fabricating elaborate stories about her financial and social status.

Additionally, this narrative thread has been a consistent hallmark of the franchise. The movie resonates with audiences through its nuanced exploration of social dynamics.

Directed by Adebayo Tijani, the new film features a stellar ensemble cast including Abraham herself, alongside prominent actors Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, Odunlade Adekola, and Bimbo Ademoye.

Furthermore, the production leverages the collective star power of these performers to enhance the film’s appeal.

Abraham’s cinematic journey began in 2003 when she first shared the screen with veteran actress Bukky Wright. Subsequently, she has established herself as a multifaceted talent.

She not only acted in but also directed numerous Nigerian films, including “Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper,” “The Ghost and the Tout,” and “Prophetess.”

Her exceptional talent has been consistently recognised in the industry. Notably, she was nominated for the African Movie Academy Awards’ Best Supporting Actress for “Esohe” in 2018.

Furthermore, she secured the Best Actress in a Drama award at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards for “Elevator Baby” in 2020 and received a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Best of Nollywood Awards for “Ebimi ni” in 2013.
