Through the movie, the talented actress who played the role of Sade, ringleader of a cult initiated to protect women from all kinds of harassment in the university, became a household name by intensely depicting the character.
To achieve their objective, the members of the cult – all young ladies are instructed to have three men in their lives: a boyfriend who they could get married to, a sugar daddy to cater to their financial needs, and a lecturer for academic favours.
‘Omoge Campus’ redefined the career of Aisha Abimbola and went on to become her brand name in the Yoruba sector of Nollywood.
