The franchise follows Yetunde, a young girl who, having come from a less-privileged family, makes a habit of lying to people about her financial status. In this film, she finds herself competing in a reality show, much like Big Brother Naija , and her habits of lying are getting harder to hold up amongst her castmates, some of whom are actually well-to-do and the rest who are also pathological liars like her.
Alakada Reloaded was a commercial success in Nigerian cinemas upon its release and is included in the list of highest-grossing Nigerian films, with a domestic gross of up to 70 million naira. [3] [4]
