Aje meta ( Funke Akindele)

I was not a fan of Funke Akindele even after the much talked about blockbuster “Jenifa”. I saw the movie after so much pressure from people that I needed to see it.
Maybe because I am not a fan of Nigerian movies because of their poor quality, easily predictable nature and bad or poor sound quality, I dont watch any Nigerian movies on my own except it is widely reported as good.
I settled to watch jenifa with so much hope that I’ll see a good Nigerian movie but was not too interested after seeing the first part of the film maybe it was because I had high hopes after hearing so much about the film. Till now I haven’t seen the other part of the film and I am not in a hurry to do that!
I didn’t give Funke any chance after seeing that movie and I wondered why people made so much noise about the movie which to me was just a dry comic. I however changed my mind when I saw her film, Aje Meta!
Aje Meta is a story about a man who was near perfection in handling his job as a horticulturist but did not have anything to show for his ability in terms of material gains. He was not particularly poor but wasn’t able to meet up to his own expectations. His problem was compounded w hen he got married because things went from bad to worse, the intervention of the wife in making him a real man made the film lovely, you need to see it.
Been so long I saw a well written and acted Nigerian movie with little and not so obvious faults. You need to see it. I think Funke did a good job there and needs to be praised. Well done gurl!
