Great Nigerian movies were plentiful in 2018. Here’s a round-up of some of the best Nigerian movies released last year. Families can watch these movies together as there are only limited violent scenes and strong languages.
The Ghost and the Tout: This movie is both mystery and ghetto-themed. If you are going to watch this movie, you will surely get what you are paying for. It is surely one of the best Nigerian movies of 2018.
Nigerian Prince: A Nigerian teenager was compelled to return home and learn about his roots. He did not only learn about his roots, but he also learned a great deal about scammers in his home country. It is a great movie to reflect on in the holiday season.
King of Boys: Watch Sola Sobowale take up a ruthless character for her political ambitions in “King of Boys”. Watch her try to get to the top using cunning strategies and following the laws of “Trust no One”. “King of Boys” is a political thriller with a woman in control. It is a typical Sobowale role we are already familiar with. However, this movie feels different, with her character struggling with crime lords and political godfathers to get to the top.
Thick Skinned: Every woman must see this movie. It will definitely help anyone in an abusive marriage to reflect on their own lives.
Sophia: There’s something to learn from the movie “Sophia” if you are a hard working-class lady. Don’t miss “Sophia” during the holiday.
Purgatory: The producers went to a great length to make a movie like “Purgatory”, so it is a must-watch Nigerian movie. It defies many Nigerian movies in the same category to present a story that is unique. It is a movie that any ambitious person in Nigeria will enjoy.
Love in Sight: For all the fans of old Nollywood movies like “Power of Love” and “My Love”, do not miss this one. It is a modern retrospective Nigerian movie.
Heaven on my Mind: This movie totally trashes infidelity in marriage. So you should definitely consider watching the movie this holiday.
The Promotion: Another great movie for the workaholics. Getting a promotion is not an easy thing and this movie proves that.
A House Without a Home: When you consider how families manage through unemployment, a story like this one just comes naturally. Every family should watch this movie, especially if they are struggling to keep love and respect going during unemployment.
Over the fence: Rivalry among young married girls is taken overboard in this movie and you will surely enjoy it.
Along bordering Lines: Relationships become very tricky when it is standing on the thin line between love and hate. “Along Bordering Lines” is worth watching for anyone who is in a relationship, good or bad.
Moms at War: The effect of hatred can never be overrated. In fact, it is often taken for granted. “Moms at War” will show you the need to liquidate all forms of hatred you feel for anyone.
Seven and a Half Dates: To all the girls who are passionate about career, this movie is definitely made for you.
