Another week means another selection of Nollywood films worth adding to your watchlist.
This week’s picks take us across different corners of Nollywood’s fast-growing YouTube movie space, from a new title on Bolaji Ogunmola TV to fresh releases featuring familiar faces such as Teni, Bimbo Ademoye, IK Ogbonna, Uche Montana and BamBam.
Here are the films Nollywood CV is putting on your radar this week.
1.LONGING
Our Banger of the Week is LONGING by Seliat Adebowale Adeyemo, available on Bolaji Ogunmola TV.
The title immediately stands out among this week’s selection, making it our first recommendation for viewers looking for something new to settle into.
Bolaji Ogunmola TV has become part of the growing ecosystem of Nollywood actors and filmmakers using YouTube to release full-length Nigerian films directly to audiences. That model has continued to change how viewers discover and consume Nollywood stories, with actor-led channels now serving as an important part of the industry’s digital distribution space.
If you have been looking for a new Nollywood film to watch this week, LONGING is where we suggest you start.

2. LOVE WAS NOT INVITED
Teni takes the lead in LOVE WAS NOT INVITED, a new film available on Omoni Oboli TV.
Teni has continued to make her presence felt beyond music, and her appearance in a Nollywood love story gives viewers another opportunity to see the singer take on an acting role.
The film also arrives on Omoni Oboli’s increasingly influential YouTube platform. The channel has become one of the biggest destinations for Nigerian digital films, with Love in Every Word and its sequel helping demonstrate just how large the audience for full-length Nollywood stories on YouTube has become. Industry tracking of Nigerian YouTube channels has also identified Omoni Oboli TV among the leading platforms in the space.
For viewers who enjoy romance and want to see Teni in a different creative setting, this is one to check out.

3.KEKE LOVE
Bimbo Ademoye and IK Ogbonna headline KEKE LOVE, another title making our list this week.
The pairing alone makes the film an interesting proposition for fans of Nollywood romance, particularly viewers who enjoy the chemistry and unpredictable situations that often come with contemporary relationship stories.
Both actors are familiar faces across Nigeria’s film industry, and Bimbo Ademoye in particular has become one of the strongest names in Nollywood’s digital film movement. Her work has appeared repeatedly among the most-watched Nigerian films on YouTube, helping demonstrate the enormous appetite for locally produced romantic stories online.
KEKE LOVE is therefore a good option for viewers who want a lighter Nollywood watch built around two recognisable performers.

4.OBA ETO 2
For those who prefer Yoruba-language films, OBA ETO 2 brings a different flavour to this week’s selection.
The film is available on Adekaz Premium and gives our list some much-needed variety, particularly for viewers who regularly follow Yoruba cinema and indigenous-language storytelling.
The continued release of Yoruba films on digital platforms is another indication of how YouTube has expanded access to Nigerian-language productions. Audiences no longer have to rely solely on traditional television or physical distribution to find films made for specific linguistic and cultural communities.
If Yoruba cinema is your preference, OBA ETO 2 deserves a place on your weekend watchlist.
Watch:
5.SECOND CHANCES
Uche Montana, Bimbo Ademoye and BamBam come together in SECOND CHANCES, completing this week’s selection.
The combination of three recognisable Nollywood personalities makes the film an appealing choice for viewers who follow the current wave of actor-led productions released directly to digital audiences.
Uche Montana has become particularly prominent in the YouTube film space, while Bimbo Ademoye has also built a strong digital audience through her acting work and appearances in some of the platform’s most popular Nigerian films. BamBam, meanwhile, continues to combine her entertainment career with acting appearances.
SECOND CHANCES rounds off the list with another relationship-focused title for viewers who simply want to sit back and enjoy a contemporary Nollywood story.
