Nollywood stars and filmmakers Destiny Etiko and Itele D Icon's new movie, Destiny Child, has been criticised by an online critic Oriretan Honour. The movie, featuring a child who resembles Etiko, was released on YouTube.
Barely after its release, Oriretan, in a lengthy write-up, faulted Itele and Etiko's roles, describing the movie as boring.

In his review, the critic pointed out the tribal bias, as well as inconsistency in Itele's use of English.
"My respect has dropped drastically for them. The storyline is highly tribalistic, portraying Yorubas as wicked and evil, while Igbos are victims, saviors, caring, and saints, with no Hausa characters in it," he wrote.
Rating Itele's performance, Oriretan said,
"Itele, 'Chief Adigun,' did shamefully poor. His English isn't sweet, smooth, and has lots of errors. There's no consistency in his Yoruba-English tone, as there's always a switch from Yoruba-English to British-English when he's not acting as double/multi-characters. His facial and body language are poor, and his line deliveries are more like recitations than acting, making it mechanically unwise."
The critic also claimed that Etiko was not good at acting, saying,
"This is why she hasn't bagged any tangible awards despite years of her acting career."
Rating the movie 1/10, the critic advised Itele to focus on Yoruba movies while Etiko leaves acting for modeling.
"This movie deserves to be banned. Everyone involved in this movie has 48 hours to refund my data, money, time, and eyes, or else," he added.
