Filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan has commended the efforts of actresses Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham and Mercy Aigbe in promoting their forthcoming films.
The three women are set to take the center stage this December with the release of their films.
These filmmakers have been tirelessly enlisting the services of their colleagues, social media influencers and even fans to promote their highly-anticipated films.
On Wednesday, Niyi took to his X account to commend their efforts and the energy they put in creating awareness for their films.
“The energy the three women are using to sell their December films na Nollywood women sabi this thing lol,” he wrote.
Funke Akindele’s A Tribe Called Judah and Mercy Aigbe’s Ada Omo Daddy will be released on December 15 while Toyin Abraham’s Malaika will hit the big screen on December 22.
Toyin and Mercy have also been showing love to each other by posting, sharing and making positive comments on the promos, trailers and skits for their movies.
These women alongside the likes of Mo Abudu, Chioma Ude, Bolanle Austen-Peters, Emem Isong, Mildred Okwo and the late Peace Anyiam-Osigwe are the perfect example of women defying all odds and thriving in a male-dominated African media landscape.
