Nova Bouquet remains N900 monthly. 

Speaking on the moral lessons in season two, Jaiye Kuti said: “When you come from a home where you are not properly trained, you may end up on the street or in the hands of an abuser who disguised as your helper. So the lesson for ladies is that you don’t have to wait for a man before you can meet your needs. 

You should be able to do certain things yourself. Because if a man should take you into his house, and does whatever he wants to you at his own will, it will make your life not have any meaningful value. But our lives are valuable. So, we have to wake up to do something meaningful.”.

The attractive thing about Ile Alayo is how the characters are infused in their natural role. The likes of Broda Shaggi and Mr. Macaroni play the same role they are known for in their skits, while Adedimeji Lateef maintained his Igbo-Yoruba accent.
