Ajosepo 2 opens in cinemas today. Last night, Crystal Palace made history in Leipzig. There's a Nigerian thread in both.
Ajosepo 2: The Gathering opens in Nigerian cinemas today, directed by Kayode Kasum and starring Toyin Abraham, Timini Egbuson, Bisola Aiyeola, and Mercy Aigbe. It's the sequel to the 2024 family comedy about wedding chaos, grown families, and the wahala that arrives when everyone gets back in the same house. If you watched the first one, you already know you're going to see this one.
Meanwhile, last night in Leipzig, Crystal Palace beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 to win the UEFA Conference League . It was their first European trophy. Eberechi Eze sent a message to his former teammates before kick-off. "I'm trusting you're gonna do it." Eze is Nigerian-heritage, left Palace for Arsenal this season. He scored the FA Cup winner last year that got Palace into Europe in the first place. He then left for his boyhood club Arsenal, helped them win the Premier League, and will play in the Champions League final on Saturday. His old club used the door he opened to walk all the way to a European trophy.
Nollywood has a film out today about family, reunion, and the kind of mess that only happens when everyone you love is in the same room. Last night a footballer who left his football family behind watched them win something he helped build.
