Internet People Don Enter

As we expect am, social media just blow finish. Some people dey hail Kunle say e stand strong and say e no go water down Naija cinema for masses. “Finally, person wey respect our brain!” one person tweet.

Others sha no dey feel the elitist vibe at all. “So because person want simple enjoyment, e mean say dem no get sense?” one critic fire back. “Cinema na for everybody, no be only Oxford graduates.”

The debate don hot well-well, and for real, the two sides get points. Entertainment suppose reach everybody, but should filmmakers sacrifice artistic vision just to please everybody? Na the million-naira question be that.

Afolayan Track Record Dey Speak

Whether you like am or you no like am, you no fit deny say Kunle Afolayan don consistently deliver quality films wey put Naija cinema for world map. From “The Figurine” to “Citation” and “Anikulapo,” im movies dey tackle serious matter with correct cinematography and layered storytelling.

Im films no be background noise wey you go play while you dey scroll Instagram. Dem dey demand attention, dey spark conversation, and sometimes you go need to watch am second time to catch all the details. Na im brand be that, and e dey own am without apology.

Maybe wetin Kunle really dey talk be say  Naija cinema get space for everybody. Room dey for blockbuster comedy, romantic feel-good movies, AND thought-provoking intellectual content.
