So many people have such good things to say, while there are others who believe that the movie is what they call "trash". Responding to the critics, as well as responding to the overwhelming love that the movie is getting, Adunni Ade took to Twitter to write out some comments about her experience in Nollywood, her reaction to the hate this movie is getting, and her reaction to the love. Here is what Adunni Ade said.

Speaking on people discrediting her, Adunni Ade said:

How I wish I had the blueprint on how to truly be successful because God in heaven knows how hard I work! In a country where people discredit your work and effort only to copy and recreate what you’ve done and then somehow gaining more than you the originator. I gotta be truly honest, daily we read about tribalism here and there. Complains of wrong doings to one another. If y’all really knew half the things I’ve been through, endured for the last decade! Nahhh we not ready for these sort of conversation! Been robbed too many times! But still I rise. I know one day! My flowers will be given without any dispute. What have kept me going and focused are my children. A reason to live, to keep pushing. My true motivation and the fact that I HATE TO LOOSE! Got life, got hope.

Responding to the people who called the movie "trash", Adunni Ade said:

As my Nigerians would say, if e easy, RUN AM!I am super proud of my project SOÓLÈ! You ain’t got a hot pot to piss in but you wanna call someone else’s work trash?😂😂 let me borrow you money to film a project.#soólèthemovie all the way!

Responding to the love the movie is getting now that it is also trending, Adunni Ade said:

SOÓLÈ is trending!!! Thank you Nigeria! Please keep watching! Keep posting your reviews. Time to say my mind never reach! God shame the shameless! Wetin my eyes see during SOÓLÈ release in cinemas no bi small. Someone should ask me later. I believe in working hard and letting it speak for itself. Nigerians have done the PR for me by giving their reviews which I must say is remarkable. Let’s keep watching!

In addition, she also took out her time to record an Instagram video in which she thanked people from all over the world for watching Soole and making it the success that is. Below is that video in case you're interested in watching.
