At BBC Africa, she discussed the origins of “Black Market” and her work on the film as an actor, producer and executive producer.

“Black Market” follows market women running a fuel smuggling business. Dada played Adesua. The film set a Guinness World Record on 26 September, when over 51,000 people watched it at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos. The attendance surpassed the previous record of 43,624 set in 2015. It is the first Nollywood film to hold the record, and it is still showing in cinemas.

Earlier this month, Dada attended the Premiere of “The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives” at the BFI London Film Festival wearing a black-and-white polka dot blazer with matching wide-leg trousers and carried a black clutch.
