It’s an exciting day for Nollywood lovers as three highly anticipated films  Aso Ebi Diaries, Makemation, and Owambe Thieves  officially debut in cinemas nationwide today. These releases are being hailed as instant classics, bringing fresh energy, familiar faces, and unique cultural flavors to the big screen.


First on the list is Aso Ebi Diaries, a drama-laced story centered around friendship, envy, and the unspoken battles that often lie beneath glamorous wedding parties. The film takes audiences into the world of Nigerian owambes, where loyalty is tested and secrets are revealed  all wrapped in rich fabric and fake smiles.


 Featuring an ensemble cast of veteran and new-generation stars, Aso Ebi Diaries is poised to resonate deeply with fans who understand the drama that often accompanies big events in Nigerian society. From the designer outfits to the emotional rollercoasters, it promises to deliver a blend of laughter, tears, and relatable chaos.


Next is Makemation, a creatively ambitious film that mixes live action and animation, setting a new standard for technical storytelling in Nollywood. The film follows the journey of a young boy who, through a magical twist of fate, finds himself in an alternate animated universe where the rules of reality are rewritten. It's a bold experiment that showcases Nollywood’s growing appetite for innovation. Makemation is not only visually engaging but also carries strong moral lessons about courage, identity, and destiny. Families and animation lovers are expected to find this film particularly refreshing.


Completing today’s cinematic trio is Owambe Thieves, a crime-comedy thriller that follows a group of small-time scammers who make a living crashing owambes and robbing unsuspecting guests.

Things take a wild turn when they mistakenly target the wrong party one that’s being used as a cover for a money laundering operation. Packed with fast-paced action, clever dialogue, and enough humor to keep the audience entertained, Owambe Thieves blends satire with suspense in a way that’s uniquely Nigerian. The film cleverly pokes fun at the excesses of the rich while offering an exciting story of survival and street smarts.


The simultaneous release of these three films is seen as a major boost for the Nigerian film industry, as cinemas nationwide welcome moviegoers eager for homegrown entertainment. Each film targets a different audience – from lovers of cultural drama to fans of fantasy and thrill-seekers  ensuring that there’s something for everyone on the big screen today.


Critics are already predicting strong box office showings, especially for Aso Ebi Diaries and Owambe Thieves, which have enjoyed strong promotional runs and social media buzz. With star-studded casts, creative plots, and powerful direction, these films are a clear indication that Nollywood is not slowing down any time soon.

So, whether you're in the mood for glamour and betrayal, imaginative storytelling, or hilarious crime capers, this weekend offers the perfect excuse to head to the cinema and support the best of Nigerian storytelling.
