    Simisola, an undergraduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), said the film Chief Daddy was what she had been looking forward to watch.

    For film enthusiast, Bola Adesina, Aquaman is a film to watch over and over.
    “I am here to watch the film the second time. First time I came with my brother and now I am here to watch with my friend,’’ she said.
