"Ohun Oko Somida produced in 2010 is a really nice movie. Really gripping, and you find yourself empathizing with the characters. The narrative focuses heavily on real-life themes of family drama, betrayal, and the consequences of infidelity, resonating deeply with traditional Yoruba cultural values.That was also the movie that shot @bidemi_kosoko to limelight who acted as a bad child that was against her mother MRS DAIRO @solasobowale till court of law. Fans almost beat BIDEMI for her bad role in the movie 😂. "
