To Kill a Monkey: Kemi Adetiba Teases a Gripping Crime Saga

Kemi Adetiba doesn’t repeat herself. After the grand ambition of King of Boys, she returns with something leaner, darker, and much more personal. Her latest project, To Kill a Monkey, is an eight-part crime series set to premiere on Netflix this July. From the very first episode, you can tell the story isn’t about power—it’s about the weight people carry. That weight builds over time, quietly pressing in, until something eventually snaps.
At the centre is Efemini (William Benson), a man living an ordinary life until a familiar face from the past turns up. What begins as a simple reunion soon becomes a spiral into cybercrime, where choices shrink and consequences multiply. There are no flashy setups or over-the-top plot twists. What you get instead is a portrait of a man slipping into a life he never imagined for himself—bit by bit.
The trailer, released in late June, keeps things subtle. There are no dramatic speeches or slow-motion chaos. Just quiet tension, restrained performances, and a world that feels close—maybe too close. Benson plays Efemini with the kind of stillness that suggests inner turmoil, while Bucci Franklin, as the friend who leads him astray, brings just enough charm to make you uneasy.
The cast is packed with familiar names—Stella Damasus, Ireti Doyle, Chidi Mokeme, Bimbo Akintola, Lilian Afegbai—but this isn’t a story built around celebrity moments. These actors blend into the world. Their performances don’t demand attention; they earn it. They play people who seem real, caught in circumstances that feel all too familiar.
Filmed over two months in 2023, the series marks a new phase for Adetiba. It’s her first major project without Sola Sobowale, and the shift in tone is unmistakable. Gone are the fiery confrontations and political theatre. What remains is quiet desperation—and the choices people make when there are no good options left.
To Kill a Monkey doesn’t try to impress. It tells a story about survival, temptation, and the heavy cost of crossing lines you thought you never would. If the full series delivers on the promise of its trailer, it may be Kemi Adetiba’s most focused and emotionally honest work yet.

Miss Kanyin – Our Honest Review on the Afro-Horror Thriller

Miss Kanyin, a Nollywood-themed horror movie produced by Nemisia Studios and directed by Ossai Jerry, was released on the 27th of June. With a cast led by Temi Otedola, Keppy Ekpeyong, Michelle Dede and Towalani George, the movie sets the stage for a bone-chilling supernatural story, It draws from an old Nigerian folktale-perfectly blending normal school pressure, and a haunting boarding school setting.
Plot
Miss Kanyin takes place in an elite Nigerian boarding school that was built on a land where something sinister had happened years back. When the academic pressure becomes more than just stress—it opens a portal to horror. When student Amara seeks supernatural help to ace her exams, she accidentally summons an ancient spirit known as Ms. Kanyin. What started as a private academic venture quickly turned into a nightmarish fight for survival. Think school drama with a supernatural twist, and you’re right in the heart of this Afro-horror thriller’s plot.
Cinematography / Visuals
The film direction in Miss Kanyin sets the mood from the very start, From the dim lighting and empty hall ways, confined spaces to the eerie background sounds that slowly builds suspense and make you feel like something is always lurking around the corner somewhere. The camera angles also added to the mystery, making even ordinary scenes feel tense.
Visually, the movie delivers where it matters. The special effects makeup, especially during the bloody scenes, is realistic enough to make you flinch . From the injured faces to the eerie shadows, the horror is portrayed in a way that feels believable without being overdone. The boarding school settings also added a nostalgic effect, with just enough creep factor to make your skin crawl.
Characters & Performance
• Amara (Temi Otedola) really pulls you in—her transition from that confident student to a terrified survivor is powerful.
• Ms. Kanyin (Michelle Dede) was all calm and composed yet unsettling. She turned from an average school teacher to that haunting force in the storyline. She was the plot twist of the movie.
• Keppy Ekpeyong and Michelle Dede, as teachers and guardians, added tension with their concerned gazes and hushed cautions, like any other regular teacher. The movie hints at believable interactions—no forced acting, just genuine fear and worry in their eyes.
Our Review
What stands out about Miss Kanyin is how it turns academic ambition into horror, And the fact that we can all relate to it because it’s deeply rooted in the ancient Nigerian folklore “Madam Koi Koi. It made us see what one is willing to risk for success and there’s a lesson to this story, how our actions can summon consequences we never imagined. It’s suspenseful, emotional, and feels rooted in local culture—a rare mix in Afro-horror.
Final Thoughts
Miss Kanyin isn’t just another horror story; it’s related to real fears (exam stress, school life) and then flips the script with supernatural consequences. It might not be for the faint-hearted, but if you enjoy horror movies with a Nigerian twist, then this is one film you should definitely check out.

Her Excellency – Official Trailer Review

Adebayo Salami, also known as Oga Bello, marks his 60 years in the film industry with this remarkable talent-filled movie. “Her Excellency” is a movie with a strong story about power, politics, and leadership in a male-led system. Set to be released on the 4th of July.
The trailer shows a strong female political figure trying to handle the high-stakes world of government, corruption, and loyalty, while facing personal and spiritual struggles. It’s a political drama that highlights ambition, sacrifice, and what it truly takes to be a female leader — with cultural depth and emotional weight. She is handling power, betrayal, and responsibility in a world that doesn’t give her any favors.
With a powerhouse cast that includes Adebayo Salami, Femi Adebayo, Sola Sobowale, and Bimbo Ademoye, this political drama isn’t just about a story — it’s serving real tension, emotions, and many behind-the-scenes stories of leaders.
The Visuals
From richly styled government offices to perfectly tailored traditional fits and intense close-ups, everything feels polished. You can tell they were very intentional about getting every shot right. The Yoruba language adds even more authenticity, and the color tones give it that polished, big-screen feel. No shaky storyline here — just clean transitions, smooth acting and bold expressions that leaves you curious and completely on the edge.
Here’s What Makes It Stand Out:
• It changed the normal societal norms, by placing a woman in the political lead.
. Intimate, emotional scenes hinting at family dynamics, dramas and sacrifices behind that public facade.
• And yes, there’s a slight spiritual edge — nothing heavy, just soft reminders about conscience and doing what’s right.
Review
Honestly, watching the trailer left many audiences genuinely curious. The mix of politics, tradition, and family drama feels like it’s building toward something big. It reminds me of movies like October 1 — the way culture, power, and identity blend together to tell a deeper story but the twist is the fact that they chose to center a woman in power, that alone changes everything and it makes the movie unique.
Final Thoughts
Her Excellency feels like more than just another Nollywood political drama — it hits deeper. The trailer gives a glimpse into a powerful, emotional, and culturally rooted story that could spark important conversations. With big names, striking visuals, and that bold female lead energy, it’s definitely one to watch out for. If the full movie carries the same weight as the trailer.
