The new Netflix movie “Ijogbon,” which was directed by the acclaimed Kunle Afolayan, stars Gabriel Afolayan, Bimbo Manuel, Adunni Ade, and Dorathy Bachor.

The movie, which was directed by Tunde Babalola, also stars Sam Dede, Tana Adelana, Yemi Solade, Yemi Sodimu, Femi Branch, Funky Mallam, and a few young performers like Ruby Akubueze, Ojuolape Kayode, Fawaz of Ikorodu Bois, and Oluwaseyi Ebiesuwa. In the coming-of-age family adventure “Ijogbon,” four teenagers from a small community in southwest Nigeria—three boys and one girl—accidentally find a bag full of diamonds and hide it, much to their dismay.

“Ijogbon” will explore the universality of human emotions, defined by peculiar cultural backgrounds and beliefs. The film also depicts what life is like for teenagers in rural parts and their aspirations for a better life, even if it means having to Japa (leave the country).
