Oscar Heman-Ackah, the husband of acclaimed Nollywood director Kemi Adetiba, has penned a heartfelt tribute to his wife following the release of her highly anticipated series, To Kill a Monkey.
Taking to Instagram, Oscar praised Kemi’s dedication and brilliance, calling her a “genius” and expressing pride in how the series has sparked widespread conversation and reflection.
“It’s only been a few days since To Kill A Monkey was released… and already, the waves it’s making are impossible to ignore.“
I’ve seen the reactions, the heated conversations, the quiet reflections… and I just want to say this: MY WIFE @kemiadetiba is a GENIUS.
I watched her give everything to this story, her mind, her heart, her discipline, her spirit. The weight of it, the questions she wrestled with alone… and somehow, she held the entire vision with clarity and courage until it stood, exactly the way she imagined.
To Kill A Monkey is not an easy film. It’s layered, uncomfortable, and deeply human. And the way everyone is responding to it, so passionately, is a testament to the depth of her voice and the sharpness of her mind.
I’m not surprised.
But I’m still in awe.
Baby… I see you. I love you.
And I’m proud of you beyond measure,” he wrote.
He also gave a special shout-out to Kemi’s brother, Remi Adetiba, who co-produced the series, calling him a driving force behind the project’s success.
“To my brother Remzinator @remiadetiba… thank you for being such a pillar and driver of this incredible woman’s vision. You navigated the craziest storms, challenges, and obstacles to produce the heck out of this. Hats off to you too, my brother. ❤️
Oscar applauded the cast and crew as well, thanking them for their hard work and for leaving a lasting impact on what he described as a timeless story.
To the crew, you brought this story to life with such depth, and commitment. Every frame, every performance, every decision behind the scenes mattered, and it shows. You left your fingerprints on something that will stay with people for a long, long time,” he added.
