Jenifa is a comic character who lives in a world where English is totally flawed. We were first introduced to the character, a wannabe uneducated girl, in the Nollywood movie of the same name. After seeing the movie “Jenifa”, we thought we have seen the last of her. But luckily she returned when “Jenifa’s Diary” began airing.
Jenifa has come to stay, and these are the things we just love about the character:
- The character is hilarious, adventurous and funny
- She never stops trying to learn English
- Despite her horrible English skills, she still keeps a diary
- Overcoming all her challenges, she is currently a rich hair stylist.
- She is focused
