Funke Akindele Bello Wraps Up 2020 With Grit and Gusto in "Omo Ghetto: The Saga"

2020 has been the most unusual year for the world with the nightmarish apocalyptic COVID-19 pandemic claiming over one million lives and with millions more infected by the deadly corona virus and many countries in recession. The entertainment industry suffered collateral damage from the shutdowns of TV and film productions with the cancellations or postponements of theatrical releases of many new movies; and the unfortunate loss of notable practitioners in the film industry. But yet in all the dramas and traumas, we have seen the triumph and victory of the human spirit of endurance, faith, perseverance, strength and zeal in the midst of the unforeseen circumstances of the existential trials of life. And this is how one of the most never give up daredevil actors and filmmakers in Nollywood, Funke Akindele Bello has released her sensational crime comedy thriller, "Omo Ghetto: The Saga’, the anticipated sequel to her ‘Omo Ghetto’, of 2010, with grit, guts and gusto.

This is the biggest and hottest #Nollywood action movie of the moment. And she is jumping into the New Year 2021 with pomp! I see the movie breaking the box office records of "The Wedding Party" by the Valentine's Day in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.

The public demand for "Omo Ghetto: The Saga" should make it run till March, 2021.

Funke Akindele should maximise the momentum by exploring the movie merchandising opportunities in the commercial production of "Omo Ghetto: The. Saga" T-shirts, #facemasks, face caps, bandanas, shopping bags, etcs; with a positive message that if you don't give up, "las las", you can make it from the ghetto to the top of your dreams like the most famous and richest Nigerian celebrity gossip blogger, Linda Ikeji who came from the Lagos ghetto of Mushin and now living her dreams in her own palatial mansion on Banana Island, off the foreshore of Ikoyi,, described as the most expensive residential neighbourhood in Nigeria by Forbes.

For "Omo Ghetto: The Saga", the saga has just begun!
