Production

Koseegbe was Tunde Kelani's third film and his first work with Akinwunmi Isola. It started out as a stage play of the same name by Isola who was unable to write the script for film so Kelani gave him the script for Driving Miss Daisy to use as a sample.[5] It was released on VHS in 1995.[6]

It was listed as one of the 10 best selling Yoruba movies.[3]
