Directed by Abbey Lanre, it tells the story of Ayoola (Odule), who, after suffering a serious illness, turns to traditional herbal treatments as a last resort. When the treatment prescribed by herbalist Ifashola (Quadri) requires the involvement of one of his children, the family confronts a series of shocking revelations that uncover long-hidden secrets and ignite intense emotions. This journey of betrayal and dramatic twists keeps viewers captivated as the family navigates profound moral dilemmas and confronts the consequences of hidden truths.
Released in 2009, Bolodeoku was widely appreciated for its authentic portrayal of Yoruba traditions, family values, and suspenseful storytelling. Abiola Hughes, Shina Adeyemi, and Abbey Lanre's well-scripted narrative is brought to life with brilliant performances by the main cast and additional talented actors like Funke Akindele and Prince Jide Kosoko.
Bolodeoku is a remarkable work, making it a lasting favourite among Nollywood classics.
