By now, you all should have gotten the words on the title bar of this article, if not, then you have not gotten the drift of or touched by the ‘Jenifa’ phenomenon.

‘Jenifa’ is the brain work of Funke Akindele. She started from ‘I Need to Know’ , a soap opera on student and AIDS which shetook part in . Since then she has completed her law degree at the University of Lagos and now she is pursuing her movie career.

Her new movie ‘Jenifa’ is making major waves and is selling out fast! ‘Jenifa’ is a film that sheds more light to the fake lifestyle most female undergaraduates live. Suliat is one of the girls, She used to be a village chapion before coming to Lagos for her university education. Upon her arrival she met her long time friend (Becky) who introduced her to some other girls; Franca and Tracy. Suliat then changed her name to Jenifa in order to fit in to the click. All these girls live a fake and wayward life. They Jump from one trouble to another in a bid to belong to the high class. In one of their wayward trips, Franca who is one of them met her untimely death. You need to get a copy of the movie to find out what became of the other three girls.
