The recently released film “Jagun Jagun” has achieved an impressive feat by becoming one of the top 10 trending movies on Netflix in over eighteen countries, including Nigeria, USA, U.K., Libya, and Canada.
This accomplishment is particularly significant as it is a Yoruba-language Nollywood film.”Jagun Jagun,” which currently holds a rating of 3.6/10 on IMDB, is set in pre-colonial Nigeria and revolves around the story of a feared warlord named Ogunjimi.
His authority is challenged when a young man named Gbotija arrives, exposing Ogunjimi’s insecurities about losing power. The movie explores the training of young warriors and their battles, while also delving into themes of leadership, loyalty, and conflict.

Despite facing various challenges during production, such as land disputes and financial constraints, filmmaker Femi Adebayo Salami remained determined to convey a meaningful message through the film.
The movie delves into themes of power dynamics, courage, and betrayal in the context of ancient Nigeria. Faced with obstacles such as land ownership disputes, during the creation of a warrior school set, commitment and willingness to sell his properties to fund the project, Adebayo’s determination to overcome challenges exemplifies his dedication to his artistic vision.
In the bid to commend this achievement in Nollywood, Veritasi Homes, a real estate firm, recently hosted the cast and crew of the highly acclaimed Yoruba movie “Jagun Jagun” at an indoor event in Lagos.
