According to Shock ng, the film hopes to exceed the anticipated ₦250 million in ticket sales.

“These early numbers also project that the @cinemaxng distributed title may have long legs and push to surpass the projected N250M box office gross ticket sales,” the post said.

Queen Lateefah follows the life of Lateefah Adeleke, a 30 year old businesswoman who claims to have travelled the world, and belongs to a high society status. Her encounter with Jide Rhodes, a 35 year old businessman reveals all her hidden secrets. Sadly, Lateefah is not who she claims she is as she was raised in abject poverty and is the only child of an illiterate mother. She lives in a dilapidated building with eccentric neighbours. Her cool manners, fancy clothes and wild claims are a result of her greatest strength: Telling LIES.

Veteran Nigerian singer Cobhams Asuquo has reacted to the now-viral clip of Edo State’s governor, Okpebholo struggling to read the figures from the 2025 national budget, and says, “It’s very bad.”

The clip has sparked widespread debate online, with many questioning leadership competency in Nigeria. Taking to Instagram on December 11, 2024, Asuquo expressed his dismay and called for introspection from both leaders and citizens.

He wrote, “To be clear, some of the most brilliant Nigerian minds I have encountered are from Edo State. So this begs the question, is it that we’re not ready to tell ourselves the truth, or that we don’t want progress as much as we claim to? Some choices may be foisted on us but is that to remain our lot?”

Highlighting the role of accountability and the need for collective action, Asuquo asked whether governance truly serves its purpose in the country.

“What does governance mean to us; all of us – the governed and the governor? I’m really confused this hot afternoon. This is bad. Very, very bad. There’s got to be a way out,” he added.
