Love Spice (2025)
Running time: 1h 45m
Director: Emma Anyaka
Daisy (Evanny Patrick) agrees to a blind date with Deyemi (Maurice Sam), but the moment she sees him in person, she knows he’s not her vibe. Instead of ghosting like we see on the streets of Lagos, she comes up with a creative exit plan: she pays Eniola (Chioma Nwaoha), a roadside food seller, to take her place and purposely ruin the date.
But what was supposed to be a quick escape turns messy when Eniola starts enjoying herself—and Deyemi starts catching feelings for the woman who was meant to be a walking disaster.
Made In Gold (2025)
Running time: 2h 11m
Directors: Fredrick Leonard & Desmond Anyanwu
Benita (Sarian Martin) is living the soft life, funded by her sugar daddy, Chief (Patrick Doyle), who keeps the bills paid and the lifestyle moisturised. Everything’s sweet—until Chief hires a new driver: Frank (Fredrick Leonard), a fine, silent-type with major enemies-to-lovers energy.
At first, Benita and Frank don’t get along. She’s giving rich babe with entitlement; he’s giving “I’m just here to drive this car and mind my business.” But as the tension builds and the vibe shifts, things get complicated.
What happens when you start catching feelings for the help—while your sponsor is still very much alive (and paying)? Find out in this sizzling Nollywood drama.

Odd of Love (2024)
Running time: 2h 37m
Director: Ben Cassie
In this romantic gamble, our lover boy (Prince Nwafor) is a street-smart but struggling driver with more charm than cash. When he sets his eyes on the beautiful, wealthy babe next door (Bimbo Ademoye), he decides to risk it all.
He makes a bet that he can win her heart, faking his way into a champagne-popping lifestyle with borrowed clothes, rented cars, and bold lies. But just as things start going his way, real feelings kick in and the mask begins to slip. Now, he has to choose: come clean and risk losing everything—or keep the lie alive and lose himself.
Searching (2024)
Running time: 1h 47m
Director: Great Valentine Edochie
Linda (Bolaji Ogunmola) and Dami (Kiekie Adeaga Ilori) are best friends navigating the wild terrain of the Nigerian dating scene. After enough failed talking stages to fill a dissertation, Dami finally meets a guy (Eso Dike) who seems promising.
But just as she starts mentally planning their future, her dream man starts catching feelings… for her best friend, Linda. Now it’s bestie vs bestie in a love triangle nobody asked for—and it’s not clear who’s going to win, or if “winning” even matters.
A chaotic, funny, and surprisingly emotional love story. Highly recommend.
Something More (2025)

Direction: Great Valentine Edochie
Blossom Chukwujekwu and Bolaji Ogunmola star as two best friends who’ve been through it all together—bad dates, ghosting, and situationships that lead nowhere. Through it all, they’ve always had each other. But maybe… there’s something more.
As the disappointments pile up, they begin to wonder: what if the love they’ve been searching for has been right in front of them all along?

Makinde Esho (Femi Jacobs) is your typical Lagos corporate guy, sent to Abuja to secure a government contract. But the real battle? Not corruption. Not bureaucracy. It’s getting past one woman’s table: Clara Ikemba (Rita Dominic), the receptionist from hell and self-appointed gatekeeper to a powerful minister.
While Makinde battles red tape, queue drama, and Clara’s constantly shifting rules, he finds an unexpected reprieve in Ejura (Linda Ejiofor)—a sweet, grounded NYSC corps member who might just be the break from stress he didn’t know he needed.
Yours Regardless (2025)
Running time: 1h 29m
Director: Biodun Stephen
Cheluchi (Uzor Arukwe) is your classic Lagos man: good job, good vibes, and a mother who thinks she’s the Holy Spirit when it comes to choosing a wife. He’s tired of being single, but every time he meets someone who makes his heart swell, his mum shuts it down with, “She’s not the one.”
Then he meets her—a beautiful, no-nonsense babe (Bolaji Ogunmola) who doesn’t just tick Cheluchi’s boxes, she rewrites the entire checklist. The only problem? She also catches the eye (and feelings) of his close friend (Michael Ejoor).
It’s love triangle o’clock, and somebody’s heart is about to get served.
