at the pre-view of the Amazon Prime Video’s latest enchanting mini series titled, ‘SHE Must Be Obeyed’, which held yesterday at the Filmhouse Imax located in the upper class of Lekki.

Each of the stars also gave a word at each level of the profiling mounted by broadcasting, print and online Journalists. Of particular capture among them was the fielding of questions from the journalists by Funke Akindele who was asked to let into the synopsis of the whole content.
Responding Funke Akindele, the embodiment of the ‘SHE’ in the new film, said: “Synopsis? I will not let the cat out of the bag but ‘SHE Must Be Obeyed’ is all about a character called ‘SHE’ and how she wants to remain on the top not minding whoever is hurt, not minding who is trampled upon.
“’SHE’ the character is very condescending, a bully. In any sector, you have a bully everywhere as long as there is hierarchy.
“And ‘SHE’ Must Be Obeyed’ centres on the competition in the entertainment industry, the music industry and we
decided to work on Afrobeat, you know Afrobeat is from Africa, from Nigeria and we have to explore what we have.
“So in ’SHE Must Be Obeyed’ you get to see competition, you get to see drama, you get to see fashion, you get to see music, all put into one.
“And also we had to showcase what young talents go through. They are very hungry to be seen. They want to showcase their talents, unfortunately they do not study their contract, they do not get a lawyer, families that are experienced to educate them.
“All these things affect them and at the end of the day, they get to sign the wrong contract and all these you get to see in ‘SHE Must Be Obeyed’. Asked further how she thinks, as a veteran in Lagos State film community, that the young artistes can be better protected, Funke Akindele, who got much more excited as an emerging acting veteran and very high successful artiste and script writer, urged young and emerging artistes to be very careful.
“Like I said, that is why we joined a contest that affects young artistes. That is why we came up with ‘SHE Must Be
Obeyed’. When they watch it, I am sure they will be very careful. Young artistes need to be educated, we need to organise a lot of seminars, workshops for them to let them know that they are very important.
“Yes, you will be seen but you have to get through the place. That is how we have been able to achieve the ‘SHE’ Must Be Obey’,” Akindele said.
Essentially, as witnessed at the preview of the mini-series in Lagos Wednesday night, it is certain that Amazing Prime
Video continues its tradition of providing enlivening content with ‘SHE Must Be Obeyed’ as its latest offering.
According to the film making organisation, Amazon Prime Video, the series offers a window into the lives of three successful music stars, unveiling the cut-throat rivalries and backstabbing activities they engage in, all in an effort to out shine one another and protect their top positions in the game.
“Trust Funke Akindele as an embodiment of poignant role interpretation, she commands the spotlight as SHE Siyanbola Adewale, a thriving artist whose public humility conceals a realm of avarice, hubris, and machiavellian schemes. Apart from movie stars mentioned above, Waje,
who knows all about navigating the Nigerian music industry, is among the cast along with BBNaija star, Veeiye.
“Thinking about high drama, unyielding ambition and unbridled passion fueling the obsession with fame, ‘SHE Must Be Obeyed’ is your front-row ticket. And this serving comes with a generous dose of comedy, moving dialogueband impressive cinematography.
“Produced by SceneOne Entertainment, this exclusive series explores the hidden scenes behind the spotlight. And what better time for such spell-binding content than now?”
