This also applies to Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu) and how his partners screwed him out of his company. This alone is such a reality for young workers in Nigeria that it is enough to keep audiences invested in the story. Liah (Sharon Ooja) obviously has better ideas than her boss but Hauwa (Funke Akindele) constantly shuts her down. Being skilled and efficient is not enough if you do not have someone committed/indifferent to your progress. Review Warning: Spoilers Aheadįirst off, Who’s the Boss adequately encapsulates what it’s like being a millennial working in Nigeria. The film’s star-studded cast features Sharon Ooja, Funke Akindele, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Segun Arinze, Beverly Osu, Ini Dima-Okojie, Gbubemi Ejeye, and Tayo Faniran. Her world begins to unravel when her start-up wins a lucrative contract and she is thrust into the spotlight. Liah decides to invent another boss, Lekan, to front for the side hustle start-up agency she uses to explore her creative pursuits. Who’s the Boss tells the story of Liah, an overworked and overlooked advertising agency creative and Hauwa – an insatiable boss who sabotages her chances at a promotion. So when Sharoon Ooja stars opposite Funke Akindele in this Inkblot-produced work flick, of course, it is going to get a lot of viewers. Work as a point of conflict has made movies a lot more relatable for younger audiences as it is the main concern in an increasingly difficult economy.

Chinaza Onuzo’s 2020 movie Who’s the Boss is a rom-com that has all the makings of a millennial hustle culture Lagos film nightclub scene, friendship trio, and someone who works at an ad agency.
