Chiki of Nations.@rachelazuka·Naija film makers should learn from Funke Akindele how to have a star studded movie and still make sense. Omo Ghetto had popular actors and comedians but there was still a blend. Everyone acted their role well, even those that had just one or two scenes. It was a natural flow.
