When you think of content creators redefining digital entertainment in Nigeria, one name rings with cultural depth and modern flair; Afolarin Jamiu Olawale, popularly known as Jace.
More than a creator, Jace is a linguistic sculptor, weaving Yoruba idioms, proverbs, and wordplay into skits and screen moments that feel like home yet hit with global impact. From viral clips to community-shaping storytelling, he’s become a trusted voice of the streets, the culture, and the people.
Now, the trailblazer is stepping into his boldest chapter yet.
ABAKU – IN CINEMAS FROM JUNE 29, 2025
“Abaku”, Jace’s debut feature film, hits Nigerian cinemas on June 29th, 2025 and it’s already creating buzz as one of the most anticipated Yoruba-language cinematic drops of the year.
Set in a world where tradition meets betrayal, and loyalty is tested under fire, Abaku is a gritty, emotional, and spiritually-charged story that explores what happens when a man’s silence becomes more powerful than his words.
Jace isn’t just acting in the film he’s the brain behind it. His signature use of Yoruba expressions, richly layered dialogue, and everyday realism make Abaku not just a film, but a movement.
