BATTLE ON BUKA STREET PREMIERED IN STYLE BY FUNKE AKINDELE

On Sunday, December 11, 2022, when actress, producer, and Peoples Democratic Party deputy governorship candidate Funke Akindele debuted her most recent film, “Battle on Buka Street,” there were a lot of entertainers in attendance.

The main focus of the film is the “war” between two ladies who compete against one another in a food contest for the coveted title of “King of Buka Street,” which is given to the area’s top street vendor. Tobi Makinde and Funke Akindele shared the directing duties.

Akindele stated that the need to appreciate culture and food via narrative served as the inspiration for the film in an interview with Merrymakers.

“I’m telling a story about enjoying our culture and food,” she proclaimed. In the film, I only want to emphasize the importance of celebrating food, culture, and all spheres of society, including the family, state, and nation as a whole. The cultural essence was making sure we gathered everyone. There was no tribalism, segregation, or discrimination. Only Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa people gathered to preach national unity in Nigeria. Fans should look for methods to have fun while simultaneously honoring our shared culture, cuisine, and unity.

Alao Malaika, a musician from Fuji, delighted attendees as many of them danced to his song.

Other personalities in attendance include the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Abdul-Azeez Adeniran, aka Jandor; Sola Sobowale, Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo, Venita Akpofure, Moet Abebe, Genoveva Umeh, Wunmi Toriola, Toke Makinwa, Bolanle Ninalowo, Toyin Lawani, Kunle Afolayan, Kunle Afod, Nkechi Blessing, Peter Okoye, Uti Nwachukwu, Femi Adebayo, Funso Adeolu and Akah Nani.
