Thank you for your support, I am grateful - Omoni Oboli

From Omoni Oboli ...
Good afternoon people. My name is Omoni Oboli (An actress and movie maker). I am a little emotional as I write this letter. I am emotional because of the outpouring of love towards my new movie, The First Lady. This is the third week at the cinema and the report we get has been outstanding.
We have outsold many Hollywood and Nollywood movies and survived the Nigerian fierce box office battle that I personally think has been designed to favour foreign movies (that is another matter for another day). As I read the latest sales reports from the cinema I am overwhelmed and my heart is full of gratitude to God and everyone that has seen this movie, The First Lady. Thank you.


My gratitude stems from the fact that we have very few female directors and movie makers. As a matter of fact, I have been told that I will not excel as an actress, I did and now many people including a couple of male directors dismissed my chances as a director but today I can boldly claim two box office hits while many of them are yet to have one despite several showings at the cinemas. I am not in any way trying to be boastful, no not at all. I am only trying to reminisce and count my blessings. I have been blessed; the industry and buying public accepted me after 10 years of absence. My marriage is not used to discriminate against me, neither is my non-alliance to any particular clique. I want to say thank you to everyone that has offered any form of support, especially to you guys that have taken out time to see The First Lady. Thank you.

By the way, I am giving out N10 000 to a number of people who will be seeing The First Lady. All you need to do is take picture with you cinema ticket stud, (make sure the date is showing), post it on Instagram, write your own review (what you think of the movie) and tag me @omonioboli on Instagram. You can read more on how to win here

Thank you.

Yours Always
Omoni Oboli

  21. The Movie was kindda dry, cos it didn't follow a synchronise process. Was kindda scattered. Linda Omoni should indeed be grateful to Alexx Ekubo, for his act alone cos without him, that movie wouldn't have gone far. Omoni should ensure her script comes out better nxt time by following a synchronise process for scenes that follow next....

  22. For professional movie observers out there, u would notice that at the point where the MD brother was in a club nagging, the devil that approached him convinced him to make his boss son a small boy. Yea Omoni if she wrote that script, copied d idea from the movie Devil Advocate. Which was a cool thing though.

  23. The film is funny but what is not funny is this kind of publicity. So dated

  24. @maestro< whether she copied or not. it was an interesting one and if it is only Alex that made the movie what it is. i am satisfied. saw the movie yesterday, still excited about it. but OMONI I AM NOT ON INSTAGRAM, HOW DO I GO IN FOR THE DRAW?

  25. @maestro- you mean the same way batman copied spiderman's concept of loss of loved one triggering heroism? Lol! It's so sad when people think they're making some kinda smart comment and they sound like a retard smh.
