Mike Bamiloye's Response to Critic Gains Attention After Film Success

An old response by veteran filmmaker and evangelist Mike Bamiloye to critic Adelani Adekanmbi regarding his movie "Agbara Nla" has gained renewed attention following the film's impressive box office performance. In November 2024, Adekanmbi criticized the upcoming film on social media.

Instead of ignoring the critique, Bamiloye responded directly on Adekanmbi's page and saved his reply for posterity. The filmmaker, who has been preaching the gospel for 50 years since giving his life to Christ in 1975 at age 15, delivered a confrontational yet warm message that resonated with fans online.

The clip of his response resurfaced as "Agbara Nla" was released in cinemas nationwide, where it reportedly grossed over N170 million in its opening weekend. Fans noted similarities between Bamiloye's response style and that of his son, Jaymike Bamiloye.

The film's success and Bamiloye's handling of criticism have sparked discussions about the role of gospel movie producers and their messages.
