Wow! This is very nice. I’m so proud of this lady Rukky Sanda she’s really doing great things in nollywood. I also like the jeans idea, makes it fresh youthful and vibrant. Kudos. Nice one bellanaija.
Abeg, there is nothing fresh and youthful about these pictures
The picture with rukky and Omotola priceless!
Nice one. Lovely pictures and people. Peter and Paul are just to die for.
Venita. Is a fine babe ,I luv her no homo .
Two premiers at once?…this is too tacky
Karen it should av b better going to the event without any clothe on hisss
Congrats to all. I salute Rukky in writing and producing and seeing her projects through. The Search’s trailer makes me want to see it, is it on Iroko, iTunes or Amazon yet?
I see some really cool people people came to support her . Nice to see Omosexy and psquare , they added class to the guest list. Congrats.
Na wa for naija movies, if there no sex scene ummm…….. I will reserve my comment! Great event overall!

The movies actually look interesting.. Good job Rukky..
Beautifullllll. Is it just my eye or they are all wearing caps and shirts with the name of the movies. Lol! See promo, I don die. Nice one, really unique. I hear the movies are really nice. Good job ms Sanda. Only u can do this. It ‘s hard for this their industry people to come together and support themselves like this. She must be really nice.
Choi……. see fine babes. Go must bless me. I go reserve my comment till I hammer.
The 2 ladies fifi n wat’s here name …Plz try nt 2 use d same make up,its so un-hygienic.N while u were busy plastering ur face u neglected ur BLACK armpitzzz!Plz don’t forget next tym…*hissing*
Aww look at the smile on rukky’s face on that picture with her and Omotola. I’m sure she’s like wow she came! How did that happen? They both look beautiful. Like it was not a pic from the premiere. Kudos.
you must have an omotola effigy in your home that you bow to worship every morning…oshi o da mcshewwwww
OMG …too much make up…Karen Igho looks god awful…really ladies let’s keep it classy..
Does no one dress according to body type anymore? It won’t be a bad at all, if some of the guests, took time out for the gym or some exercise routine.Fitness= 70% kitchen + 30% Gym.
http://www.tobechistyle.com
she’s doing well for herself.well done.
did they have some kinda face painting going on by the side or sumn. This isnt makeup but “mekup”
tonto and karen no comment…
http://www.gistyinka.com
what is Tonto and Karen wearing for the love of God?
without nse ikpe etim………there are no cinema nollywood movies……..the lady is favored
lord jesus i hope she herself (Rukky) does not star in any of them, i dont need the headache watching her “trying to” act.
Wow! We really can’t hate on rukky’s hustle oh, job well done.
#gbam those were my thoughts exactly.
Where is omotola in d headline lol
Bella just did a story on her so I’m sure they don’t want to over flood her name. Cool she obviously wasn’t there much. Didn’t see her pic inside.
Nice concept rukky…hope the film comes out gr8
All I want to do after looking at this is to put a gun in my mouth and blow my brains out. I actually felt my IQ decrease
Tonto Dike is a hot mess! Talk about trying too hard. Take a cue from the likes of Monalisa Chinda
IKEY OGBONNA YOU NEED THIS LINK TO CONFIRM UR SCARF IS FAR FROM FAKE
http://www.gucci.com/int/styles/1473514G7041469#
pSQUARE hmmmm una sef fall my hand sha.
Why do all the ladies faces look like Edward from twilight??? where are the brown skinned girls again?
*Thinking* Why did I punish myself by looking at these photos?
True talk.. I don’t know if these actress ever think before putting some rubbish for people to watch..What happened to good story line.. Gush, what has become of Nigerians actors.. No class at all..Sorry, I know they look good in their own right, but I not buy of the things they wear.. if that’s what they think is fashion..
ONE QUESTION……..WHAT THE F IS GOING ON HERE?
Karen igho trying to use long hair and cap to hide her worwor face…pls try sunshades the next time
Wat in God’s name is karen wearing? Classless girl. U for no wear cloth at all. Rubbish! Mtcheew!
I’m guessing the new trend in Nigeria is making sure you’re face does not match your body!!
Different shapes of pouting…..rukayat…….you look quite good when you smile! Smile more please!
I hope this movie doesn’t disappoint.

Yemi Blaque….still my Nollywood crush!!! Ever since that movie with Gene where he says; “Babe i send u die!”….His ability to switch from british fone to pidgin was a major turn on and i can’t get that scene outta my head everytime i see him..
Sandra really seems like a friendly chic. I noticed she gets along with everyone in the nollywood circle.
Susan Pirras look soooo cute in that pic with Yemi…they actually make a cute couple.
Karen Igho…lol.
“the first time i see you, i send you but now i sen you pieces”. something like that right? lol. can’t remember the movie’s title.
Me too Yemi blaq is one of my nollywood crush gosh! i love him, i always want to watch his movie there is just something about him welcome back yemi, its been a while
I think it’s called Letters to a Stranger. Fred Amata was also in the movie
oooh u remember that “babe i send u die!” line? he totally won me right there. He’s def my Nollywood crush. as for all y’all saying negative nonsense, Rukky is working very hard and building her brand, and with all these heavy names in the film, i have to give her credit. The event looked like fun with different dress code (love the snap backs) and venue, so i love it, i don’t care what y’all are saying. As for the rampant bleaching issue, i say live and let live. if many ppl here had the kinda money and opportunities these celebs have assess to, they’ll probably do/look like worse. That said, Karen should have covered up. That’s my piece. Weldone and more power to you Rukky Sanda.

Bella naija’s comments! Always gets me rolling on the floor!
Rukky,God bless your hustle! Karen,you must be ostracized! Hian! Monalisa,Omosexy beautiful.
Emem Isong,abeg hit the gym jorr. No joy in been obese!
AWW SEE DAPO ADERE LOOKING SO CUTE I JUST LOVE THE DUDE
AWW SEE DAPO ADERELE LOOKING SO CUTE I JUST LOVE THE DUDE
Rukky is really doing well. Kudos to her.
Phoroshop has finish for market.
It’s nice to see Yemi Blaq in movies again. The ” search ” is my preference.
Beneath all that, Ruky is a fine girl.
Susan Peters looks so nice! Looks like a very laid back and fun event! Wish I was there…Way to go Rukky, the sky is the limit! Rukky is definitely very much appreciated by her pairs, even the great Omotola, Emem Isong, and Vivian Ijeke graced her by their presence!
I have less speech,I will speak less..I am speechless
Ummm, the karen Igho girl, is she the one that acted ET (the alien movie) cos she sure looks like it..
NIGERIAN MOVIES GET WORSE BY THE DAY, in fact hour.
Everybody is a producing, acting, screen writing, video man. its ridiculous
I’m sorry but these pics aint it at all!! Majority of them look horrible!! As in real real TACKY!!! I get the dress code n all but peeps cud have done way way better with it in a more tasteful way. And why is Karen Igho all naked??? Gosh! Disgusting! All these super bleached white white faces and very very bad make-up, y’all look very scary!
1.I like this pic of Susan Peters, not bad at all. Looks pretty decent n chic>>>>>http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Yemi-Blaq-Susan-Peters.jpg
2.Luv luv Ene Maya-Lawani’s eyes! Soo beautiful!>>>>http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Ene-Maya-Lawani-Rukky-Sanda.jpg
Is it me, the camera or their faces? i don’t understand o!
Niz pics but serioulsy Remind me again “Who is Karen Igho? cos i didnt see there
As in! Respect to Rukky Sanda’s hustle (full stop).
uhm…what the hell is on Peter Okoye’s head? Hmmmmmm.
i honstely do not like d idea of rukky producing a movie or directing cuz she isnt a gud actress i mean (character)2,d level at which nigerian girls go fake nowadays s so annoying,fake skin,fake bum bum,fake hair,fake nails,fake boobs n al fake beauty.cant we at least as africans b natural?why una marriage go last wen dey men?
Pancake have finsih here oh. serious something.
Karen, we know christmas is coming, Ho Ho Ho!
Karen: Money cant buy class…#sad
When will Karen’s fifteen minute be over? it have do for her na
@Karen Igho………………….oh pls and pls, get decent pls.
na waoooooh, is well with us ooo, na only white pan cake faces i just dey see here.
If razz was the theme, then Ebube Nwago happened to have the most matured blend of class and razz
“the first time i see you, i send you but now i send you pieces”. something like that right? lol. can’t remember the movie’s title.
I feel for Yemi Blaq bcos of that movie too.
bleaching has finished some people’s lives! and all that make-up? what’s happening to natural beauty?
http://www.gucci.com/int/styles/1473514G7041469#
ikey ogbonna pls checkout this link for authentic gucci scarf, the one you wearing is FAKE,
PSUARE una self fall my hand oooo
Susan Peters and Monalisa, you showed your versatility, you can rock evening wear and rock chick! Tonto – Big Belle tinz (in your language), Oge Okoye – stop playing with your hands they are so long and distracting, Uche Jumbo – Nne please dont ever ever wear tight jeans, i take God beg you, Rukky Sanda- Your body magic tried but the tummy was so uncomfortable to look at as it looks so stretched.
Na wa for the dress code o. The base ball caps and tshirts were a bit much for me PERSONALLY, the event should have been promo’d a while back NOT on the day of the event, Rukky and her production team could have worn the materials with the film name but having people look like walking advertisement.
Karen Igho – sis, for real…though we don’t know each other from a can of paint but you need to rein yourself in literally and figuratively. This is not a good way to seek attention, nne. I am sure you can do better, please stop watching American reality tv IF that is your source of inspiration, abeg you don’t live in the States or London where notoriety can actually pay, you are in Nigeria where it reduces you to the ranks of the ridiculed. Please rethink this course of action you seem to be on, work with people who will hold the mirror up to your face and make you see the truth.
*but NOT having people look like walking advertisements for the show on the day of the event*
is karen okay?
Pure ratchedness!
Didn’t know people still wore coloured contacts. Oge, Monalisa and her friend looked good but everyone else….ewww, and dare I say it, that Amaka girl is not cute at alllllll!!!!
Marriage gud o, she how Uche Jombo-R dey glow with beauty after marruage, my dear na ur time carry go jor
why is rukky sanders puckering her lips like she is constantly licking tomtom
Pancake haff finish 4 market oh! Love d theme, a lil diifferent n edgy.
Nice One, congrats girl. It’s good to see hard working women doing their thing. The movies are amazing. I have watched the search. I rate it 98/100. I can’t believe how intelligent Sanda is to have ScreenPlayed this film and produced it. She is an absolute Genius, FullStop. All those with negative comments here. Buy the movies and watch, it will shut you UP.
Una dey here dey bad belle, this women are doing thingssss. 2 movies at one??? Na genius work be that. I no fit shout. God bless ur hustle. Congrats
She said it and she did it. I too gbadun this babe, she doesn’t shout too much like her peers. She just keeps Quite and shocks the living day light out of all of us. Hahaha. I just don’t like the fact that she does not tweet as often as she used to. We miss your tweets DIVA, come back to us. Guess you are busy making hit movies is why. God bless the work of your hands. Keep being you. We love you
Oh Rukky Sanda Is Just Flawless, She came to our office a few days Ago (Jara) And all we could do was stare at her like She’s such a sweet diva. Too classy, nice, sweet. God. We all fell in love with her? Her Swag is just impeccable. I adore her. I can stare at her forever. Great job
Choi! Dat rukki geh na Bastard o. As everybody they shout dey buy RANGE ROVER SPORT, VOGUE,HSE. She nor shout she just SLAP them with 2012 EVOQUE nooo, that girl is mean it is so unfair. She leave the whhole industry make them 7million naira. Range battle slap them with 18m latest range rover to make am worse she no come announce am or shout on top, we just dey see am dey wonder. I swear ii nor like the babe. Come release 2movies when her mates they struggle release one. E no good. And I just hate to addmit that I love am and admire her. I hate that I want to be like her so bad, no noise action action action. I taya. Siince like 5months now even bella no tell us say she don tear rubber o. Okay o, makke I go pray make God butter my bread.
I tot a smile is supposed to make you beautiful but it’s the opposite for karen with those borrowed boobs she’s exposing,I pity her , the meeting is supposed to be named pancake party lol
Denrele sha! The boy is everywhere. I saw a pic wit him wearing a suit and then he is rocking the Lovelorn shirt. He is soooooooo busy sha.
Nice buh d posters for d moviesr nt well printed
Like seriously, BellaNaija commenters, you guys obviously don’t have work o. Must be the cold. They are wearing branded tshirst and jeans, shey they should tie wrapper? You guys should get a life please. If you hate something, just move on, blabbing all the time just shows you up.
Less is more o when it comes to makeup, this is more like a all u can apply pancake parry. kilode?

I really loved the movie. It was sad at the end thou. And I think Ikay ogbonna is soo sexy in the movie.
