The Nigerian director Akindele claimed in an Instagram post that the film has made ₦613 million at the box office in her country. She expressed her gratitude to her admirers in the post, a sizable group of Nigerian cinema buffs who have supported her endeavors consistently ever since she initially became well-known as the lead in the Jenifa film trilogy.
