Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has accused her colleague Funke Akindele of paying a blogger to say negative things about Toyin Abraham’s “The Ghost and the Tout Too”.
Cinema Pointer, a movie critic blog, gave harsh criticism of the recently released movie by Toyin Abraham while elevating Funke Akindele’s movie. The critic wrote in part: “Not recommended for intelligent people. Over the years, we have told you many truths but non greater than this: Intelligent minds were not taken into consideration at all in the writing and in the making of ‘Ghost and The Tout Too’. Thusly, intelligent minds will not enjoy it at all.“
Iyabo Ojo, who also starred in the recently released movie, “The Ghost and the Tout Too”, was angered by the article. She believes that Funke Akindele paid sponsored the highly critical movie to tarnish Toyin Abraham’s work while promoting hers.
Here is why she thought so: while continuing the article, Cinema Pointer wrote: “Regardless of how flagrantly copycats of ‘Ómó Ghetto: The Saga’ desperately hoping to shine like it. Unlike that one, ‘The Ghost and The Tout Too’ doesn’t understand that movie-making is rooted in brain-work and not in using cinema to do ‘Yahoo’, abusing stardoms to fleece fandoms. [sic]
“Sadly, in ‘The Ghost and The Tout Too’, celebrity after celebrity only lead to leprotic performance after leprotic performance. As a haplessly brain-dead story leads to pointless scene after pointless scene, all soaked together in a deluge of sterile dialogue. So much so that trying to find any mirth seeing it would be an exercise in futility.
“Trust us, if you are intelligent, you are better off staying back home this weekend to watch ‘Ómó Ghetto: The Saga’ which incidentally opens on Netflix this Friday, 10th of September 2021. If not, brain go pain you tire.”
