Movie Review: Alakada Reloaded, an elaborate hoax to collect money from Nigerians

Alakada Reloaded continues telling story of Yetunde Animashaun, a young girl from a poor family background from the earlier... Read More

The Film Blog: Alakada Reloaded is a convoluted, senseless, foolish mess – but we absolutely loved it

There was no story, no plot, the characters were confused, threads were left lying on the floor, everyone on the production team should be lined up at the Bar Beach, and shot in the full glare of the entire movie-watching public.
