Yoruba cinema is set to welcome another drama production as AJOBI, a new movie written and produced by Alayande Islamiyah, prepares to make its official debut on August 20, 2026.
The highly anticipated Yoruba drama is scheduled to premiere online through the Apata TV YouTube channel, giving audiences an opportunity to watch the movie from the comfort of their homes.
Directed by Adekunle Azeez, AJOBI brings together a cast featuring popular Yoruba actors, including Ronke Odusanya, Babatunde Aderinoye and Temitope Aremu.
A New Yoruba Drama
Although detailed information about the storyline has not been released ahead of its premiere, the movie is positioned as a drama production designed to take viewers through an engaging and emotional narrative.
The title AJOBI suggests a story that could explore relationships, family connections and the responsibilities that come with being connected to others. Yoruba dramas have traditionally used such themes to examine issues surrounding family, loyalty, trust, betrayal and societal expectations.
The production is expected to build its narrative around the experiences of its characters, with the actors bringing different personalities and conflicts to the screen.
Alayande Islamiyah Leads Production
Alayande Islamiyah takes on the dual role of writer and producer of AJOBI.
As the person responsible for creating the story and overseeing its production, Islamiyah plays a major role in shaping the direction of the movie.
The decision to release the film through YouTube also reflects the changing way audiences consume Yoruba movies. Digital platforms have become increasingly important for filmmakers seeking to reach viewers across Nigeria and beyond.
Rather than relying exclusively on cinema screenings or traditional television distribution, producers can now release their projects online and make them accessible to a much wider audience.
Adekunle Azeez Directs
Adekunle Azeez serves as the director of AJOBI, bringing the story created by Islamiyah to the screen.
The director’s role will be particularly important in translating the written narrative into a visual production while ensuring that the performances, dialogue and dramatic moments connect with viewers.
With Yoruba cinema continuing to produce stories across different genres, AJOBI adds another title to the growing list of drama productions being released directly to online audiences.
Ronke Odusanya Leads The Cast
One of the familiar faces attached to the project is Ronke Odusanya, a respected figure in the Yoruba film industry.
She is joined by Babatunde Aderinoye and Temitope Aremu, creating a cast that combines established acting experience with a contemporary Yoruba cinema presence.
Their performances are expected to form an important part of the movie’s emotional and dramatic appeal as the characters deal with the challenges presented by the storyline.
Where To Watch ‘AJOBI’
AJOBI is scheduled to premiere on August 20, 2026, exclusively on the Apata TV YouTube channel.
The online release means viewers will be able to access the movie digitally once it becomes available on the platform.
As anticipation builds ahead of the premiere, the production offers another opportunity for fans of Yoruba cinema to discover a fresh drama featuring a combination of experienced actors and emerging talents.
With Alayande Islamiyah serving as both writer and producer, Adekunle Azeez directing and Ronke Odusanya, Babatunde Aderinoye and Temitope Aremu leading the cast, AJOBI is set to make its debut as another Yoruba production targeting the growing online movie audience.
The August 20 premiere will ultimately introduce the film to viewers and reveal the full story behind its title, characters and dramatic conflicts.
