With so many brilliant Nollywood movies currently showing at the cinemas, you might be spoilt for choice. We highlight seven must-see Nollywood movies currently showing in cinemas nationwide this season.

1-‘Omo Ghetto’

‘Omo Ghetto’ (The Saga), the second installment of Funke Akindele’s 2010 hit movie of the same title, opens in cinemas nationwide on Christmas Day.

It’s a star-studded film that features Yemi Alade, Naira Marley, Slimcase, and AY comedian. It was also the movie that defined Akindele’s career and shot her to super-stardom.

It parades a rich cast of Nollywood and Yoruba movie actors like Chioma Akpotha (as Chummy Choko), Eniola Badmus (as Busty), Bimbo Thomas (as Nikky), Akah Nnani (as Mario) and Alex Ekubo (Obi Wire).

The original version told the story of a set of twins who were separated at birth and are living completely different lives.

One was a ghetto kid and leader of a notorious female gang, while the other was raised in affluence and had anger issues.

The very popular ghetto twin was daring and ridiculously uncouth in her manners while the rich kid’s temper almost results in the death of her fiance.

This movie can best be described as the Nigerian version of the popular Jesus Christ of Nazareth movie.

The producers, Oj Productions, say ‘Our Jesus Story’ is an African expression of the story of Jesus Christ.

But they were in for a shocker as they find him now ready to die. It is a love story on various levels and is currently showing in cinemas nationwide.

It stars Nollywood favourites, Bisola Aiyeola, Timini Egbuson, Femi Jacobs, Bimbo Ademoye, and eccentric comedian, MC Lively.

Others are Kunle Remi, Mimi Onalaja, and Ronke Odusanya.

The movie, which is distributed by FilmOne, is the first cinema release from the stables of TMPL Motion Pictures.

The Kuju siblings are tricked by their youngest sister into visiting their village for remembrance of their late mother five years after her death. The loss of their matriarch left a gaping hole in the family due to her role as a unifying factor.

The tension between the siblings was underestimated as they soon found out.
