Oversabi Aunty has enjoyed strong cinema attendance since its release, driven by positive word of mouth, strategic promotion and Toyin Abraham’s loyal fan base. The movie’s performance reflects a growing trend in Nollywood where audience-driven storytelling, relatable humour and strong marketing campaigns translate into record-breaking ticket sales.
For Toyin Abraham, the success of the film represents more than financial numbers. It marks a personal victory after years of evolving from an actress into a producer and now a director. Her journey has been closely followed by fans, many of whom have supported her through different phases of her career, from romantic dramas to blockbuster comedies.
Reacting to the achievement, the actress took to social media to express gratitude and disbelief over the overwhelming reception of her directorial debut. In an emotional message, she acknowledged God, her fans and everyone who contributed to the project’s success.
