If you have not been paying attention to what is happening on Nollywood YouTube channels this week, you have been missing out. Here are five films worth your time before Sunday runs out.
The first one is I Swear to God on Eso Dike TV, and Bimbo Ademoye is the heart and soul of it. The premise is sharp: a woman who constantly swears to God gets called on it when Heaven finally decides to hold her accountable. Ademoye carries the whole film with that easy, lived-in energy she brings to everything she touches. This one will stay with you. Watch it here:
On Omoni Oboli TV, The Party Crashers is the comedy you need this weekend. Two people meet at a high-society event and the attraction is instant, but both of them are hiding lives that do not match the images they are projecting. The story unravels in a very entertaining way and there is a young actress called Sophia Chisom in this film who deserves every eye on her. Watch out for her. Watch it here:
Jinkimi on Seliat TV is a beautiful one, especially if you are a lover of Seliat and Tunde Aderinloye together on screen. Their chemistry is not something you manufacture. It is either there or it is not, and with these two, it is always there. Watch it here:
The fourth pick is one that will change how you see Lizzy Da Silva. She has spent a lot of her career in one-scene comedy appearances and people have put her in that box. SI Olorun breaks that box completely. She gives a full, layered performance here that proves she has always had more range than she has been given credit for. Watch it here:
And finally, House Party by Biodun Jimoh on Anike Ami TV. A group of students at a birthday party make choices that spiral in unexpected directions. It is a sharp social commentary wrapped in an entertaining story, and Biodun Jimoh handles the material with the confidence of someone who understands his audience. Watch it here:
Five films, five different reasons to keep watching Nollywood on YouTube. Enjoy your weekend.
