Madam Dearest

Madam Dearest is a Yoruba movie about Bukky who’s husband is jailed for life. Due to family pressure, she moved on with her life and had a son for a Ghananian who is one of her husband`s employees. Her husband, Biodun, was later exonerated and released from jail only three years into his jail term. In her confusion, Buky tells her husband that he`s the father of her son. The world of the employee crumbles and this starts the greatest cover-up of all battles.

Directed by Tade Ogidan, Madam Dearest leans on a strong ensemble — Deji Adenuga, Kareem Adepoju, Opeyemi Ayeola — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2005.
