Niyi Akinmolayan

Are films characterised as Nollywood’s Yoruba epics only to be critiqued by reviewers from or intimately familiar with Yoruba culture?

In “Lisabi: the Uprising”, Niyi Akinmolayan and Adedimeji Lateef make the same old stuff from the Yoruba Epic Movie assembly line.

The streamer has announced a two-part biopic based on the story of Egbaland hero Lisabi.

With ornate schemes and smart, sometimes unclear, plot twists, Niyi Akinmolayan makes a film that lives up to its name.
