It is another good news for
movie buffs across the country as Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie industry and the third  largest movie clan in the world has churned  out new movies  currently making waves in cinemas across the country. One of the latest movies is “the Number One Fan”.
The Number One Fan is Juliet Ibrahim’s first production and she plays the role of a famous actress, Lala Gam Hammond who has touched many lives from a director (Prince David Osie) who wins awards each time she features her in his films to a photographer who ensures  she looks flawless on magazine covers to a fashion designer who ensures she looks stunning in her designs.
The film opens at a point when Lala has gotten bored with her acting career after a string of multiple awards. The film is set in an affluent neigbourhood in which Lala and her husband John  (Yemi Blag) reside  John is a geologist who is in a world of trouble after losing $480,000 belonging to a local mafia boss, Mr. Jack (Kopi Adjorlolo) when he fails to find gold at any of his mining projects. But that is just one in a series of intriguing subplots.
The Number One Fan also features Julia Ibrahim’s sister, Sonia Ibrahim  who plays the role of a character called Wendy, a local kid with British  accent who has mysteriously  developed affection for Lala.
