The media mogul had two days ago announced that the sequel made N20 million on its opening day, which is more than double of what the first installment made on its opening day.

“Thank you Nigeria! Incredible, we have broken another record. The biggest opening day in the history of Nollywood! N20m day one of the box office. Last year we did N9.6m on our opening day,” she had said.
