Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe, wife of actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji, has taken to her Instagram page to celebrate the success of her husband’s film, Lisabi. Released just three months ago in September, the historical epic has cemented its place in Nigerian cinema, ranking as the ninth most-searched Nollywood movie of 2024, according to Google trends.
Mo Bimpe proudly shared fan reviews and a snapshot of the Google ratings on her Instagram, highlighting the film’s achievements alongside other top productions. The list crowned Funke Akindele’s A Tribe Called Judah as the most-searched Nollywood film, but Lisabi’s climb to the top 10 in such a short time is nothing short of remarkable.
In her caption, Mo Bimpe expressed her excitement:
“Data don’t lie! It gladdens my heart that when people talk about filmmaking in 2024, Lisabi ranks in the top ten of most-searched movies by Nigerians. To think this movie was released barely three months ago! Now imagine what you’ll get from the sequel. Exciting times ahead… Are you ready?”
Fans flooded her comments section with praise, calling Lisabi a masterpiece.
• Tem:“When is the next part dropping oooo? 😢”
• Funmilola:“See fave movie sitting pretty at number one! 😍”
• Amoyinde:“LISABI na evergreen movie 💯🔥”
• Teejay:“That next part go top 1. It will be so mad, I believe! 🥶🥹”
However, not all feedback was celebratory. One fan, Lolar, expressed frustration about the film’s unavailability in diaspora countries, commenting, “Lisabi is not showing in any diaspora countries. Cheating full all actors’ body as if we no be human for outside country. Na so so you go dey promise us kpe e go show, and we never see anything till date… Shey e good like that?”
Mo Bimpe’s heartfelt post and the overwhelming fan reactions reflect the love and dedication the audience has for Lisabi. With a sequel already teased, it’s clear that Lisabihas become a cultural phenomenon, and fans eagerly await what’s next for this extraordinary production.
