Obio Julius, a media entrepreneur and the CEO of Olofix Streaming Global Limited, who attended the premiere of “House of Ga’a” in Lagos has commended the epic movie.

According to him, “The producer’s impeccable casting choices resulted in flawless performances from the entire lineup. The lead actor, Femi Branch, as Bashorun Ga’a, delivers an unbeatable performance, making one think he is the reincarnation of the historical Ga’a. This is a movie that captivates you to the point where you want to watch it repeatedly”.

On the film’s conclusion, he said:”The film’s conclusion suggests that none of Ga’a’s last remaining children will wage war on Oyo Ile again. History tells us that Ga’a’s first son, Ojo Agubambaru, escaped to Bariba and later returned to claim the throne, only to be betrayed”.

The visionary entrepreneur also showered praises on the director of the film, Bolanle Austen -Peters.

He said:” We thank Bolanle Austen-Peters for giving us this great epic movie to enjoy. May God give you the strength, resources, and focus to create more masterpieces”.

Set in the ancient 18th century Yoruba history, “House of Ga’a” tells the gripping tale of a power-hungry political figure, Ga’a, who orchestrates a brutal betrayal within the Oyo Empire. This cultural phenomenon, with its captivating storyline and stellar performances, has resonated deeply with audiences globally.
