However, renowned Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender (LGBT+) activist, Bisi Alimi has other views about the movie.

According to Alimi, Nigerian filmmakers like the bare minimum because they become gods with lots of shinning without putting effort.
Specially pointing at Anikulapo, Alimi noted that his criticism comes into play because the movie has potential but lost it within three minutes.

He had this to say;
Anikulapo is SHIT! 2/10.
“What I have learnt from Anikulapo and many films like it is that Nigerians like bare minimums; you don’t even need to put in the effort, just the minimum with loads of shinning, and you are god!
“I am not critiquing the movie cos I want to be the odd one out, because tbh, that’s too much job with Nigerians. I am critiquing it because it has potential and it lost it 3mins into the film.”
He continued;
“First, that film has no business being 2hrs! Nigerian filmmakers need to stop that rubbish of pushing film to 2hrs and then filling it up with all the garbage in idumota.
“Many have argued the set design was unique; sorry, I didn’t see it. I guess what people mistake for the set is the camera. The film made use of good cameras, and it made the picture very clean; believe me, Tunde Kelani has been doing that for ages, nothing new.
“I was upset about the set portrayal of the Oyo empire. Which Oyo was that? Ibeju lekki oyo? And that bird? What was that? Not even in the days of Eye Jumijoke do we have birds like this.”
Alimi Talks About The Dialogue In The Movie…
“That brings me to the dialogue! Jeez!
Nothing profound, nothing in depth, just basic.
I think he was trying to avoid too much talking in the film, but then, there was less non-verbal acting, so the dialogue most times made no sense.
“And we can now ask the question about the story.
What was the story about? If it was about a man who can wake the dead because of his encounter with death and the power he received, why didn’t he get the ability from the bird himself?”
Mr Macaroni
He went further to write;
“Shola Shobowale did well; glad she was not typecast, but is she needed in that film? The answer is no. The Oyo palace story was to build up to explain why the Olori did what she did, why I get that, and why spent more than 30mins telling us.
“The ending? Does it mean there will be part 2?
And how many times did he die in the film? I counted 3.
Do they make any sense? The dying, I mean, cos the only death that has meaning to the film was the second one with the Olori.”
Taiwa Hassan
The concluding part of his article reads;
“I am not here to spoil your joy, and I just wanted good films to come out of Nigeria.
I do.
As a graduate of theatre, it pains me when I see the bare minimum from people who can do better, and this is not about budget; I have watched movies shot on mobile phones and meagre budget telling a compelling story and great acting.
“Today is Monday, and I am not here for wawulence before you people will come and be attacking me; I am just sharing my opinion; you don’t have to agree with it. Peace!”
Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will on October 26 begin a full hearing of the petition filed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor-elect.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the tribunal made this pronouncement after concluding the pre-hearing session on Thursday.
The tribunal was asked to dismiss the applications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking the discontinuation of the petition brought to it by Governor Oyetola.
Counsel for Oyetola and the APC, Lasun Sanusi, SAN, at the sitting of the tribunal argued that Adeleke’s, PDP’s and INEC’s reliance on a Federal Court High judgment was nothing but an abuse of court process.
Sanusi argued this while replying to separate applications of the trio, seeking the dismissal of the petition based on the already appealed Federal High Court judgment disqualifying Oyetola from contesting the election.
Citing Supreme Court decisions in the case of Jegede Vs INEC, 2021, 14NWLR, Pt 1797, page 409, the counsel said the court had ruled that the signatories to the letter conveying the nomination of a candidate were not the nominators; rather, the nomination was done by party members at the congress, hence, the judgment could not stand.
Meanwhile, the counsel for INEC, Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN; counsel for Adeleke, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN and counsel for the PDP, Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN, agreed that any decision the tribunal would take on the matter would have to wait until the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court decided on it.
They noted that they just decided to argue the applications to have it on record, a position which the tribunal agreed with and put on record.
Also, in other applications totalling nine by the three respondents, they asked the tribunal to strike out some paragraphs of the petition on the grounds that they were either lumped together or not related to the 2022 election.
In response to each of the applications, Sanusi said all the cases cited by the respondents were misconceived, adding that they were not applicable in the instance case.
He cited the case of INEC Vs Otti, 2016, 8NWLR, where the Supreme Court hinted that INEC was supposed to be neutral, arguing that all the processes filed before the panel have not portrayed the commission’s neutrality.
Sanusi further argued that the applications filed by the respondents were only meant to prevent the tribunal from focusing on hearing the petition on merit, asking the panel to dismiss the applications.
Subsequently, counsel for all parties in the matter agreed to begin the full hearing starting with the calling of witnesses on October 26.
In his ruling, the tribunal declared the pre-hearing session concluded and announced that the pre-hearing conference report would be presented on October 17.
