The trailer for “Labake Olododo”, Iyabo Ojo’s debut as a producer, has generated mixed reactions online following its release.
While some viewers praised the film’s ambitious scope and Ojo’s performance, others were quick to critique elements of the production, particularly her costume and hairstyle.
Discussions on X (formerly Twitter) questioned whether the styling accurately reflected the historical period the film is set in. Some argued that the makeup and hair department could have made better choices, while others expressed concerns over the growing number of epic films in Nollywood, suggesting the genre is becoming overused.
Despite the criticism, many remain eager to see how the film unfolds on the big screen. Directed by Biodun Stephen and backed by FilmOne Entertainment, “Labake Olododo” is set for release in cinemas nationwide on March 28, 2025.
