This entertaining film skilfully intertwines comedy and drama to explore relatable themes like self-discovery, identity, and societal expectations.

With a culturally relevant storyline and universal themes, the film resonates not only across Nigeria but with audiences far and wide, showcasing how an unlikely hero can win hearts with authenticity and charm.

Jenifa is known for being talkative and having a savior-complex, believing she's capable of solving everyone’s problems. This sometimes comes across as overbearing to people around her. Jenifa has a weakness of always being ready to spend her last dime on expensive clothes, shoes and accessories just to look very good and classy. She also struggles with keeping to time when it comes to important appointments. Jenifa has had her fair share of failed relationships due to her preference for men who are sophisticated and intellectual, but her desires often differ from reality. Despite societal and parental pressure, Jenifa remains steadfast in her resolve not to settle for anything less than what she truly wants. Jenifa not only leads by example but also inspires her fellow estate residents to engage in philanthropy through her non-governmental organization. From conducting medical outreach programs, to creating foodbanks and empowering the youth, Jenifa's commitment to social betterment knows no bounds.
