Nigerian Women in Nollywood Shine as “My Father’s Shadow” Heads to Cannes 2025

By Prosper Mene, April 14, 2025

Excitement showed across Nigeria’s creative scene as online conversations lit up with pride for women in the arts, particularly those shaping Nollywood’s bright future. At the heart of the buzz was “My Father’s Shadow,” a groundbreaking film by Akinola Davies Jr., which has earned a historic spot in the 2025 Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection. The milestone sparked widespread celebration, with many spotlighting the vital role Nigerian women are playing in elevating the country’s film industry on the global stage.

Social media platforms buzzed with praise for Nollywood’s female trailblazers, producers, writers, actors, and directors who are pushing boundaries and telling authentic Nigerian stories. Funmbi Ogunbanwo, the film’s co-producer and CEO of Fatherland Productions, was a point of admiration for her work in bringing “My Father’s Shadow” to life. The film, a deeply personal drama set against the backdrop of Nigeria’s 1993 presidential election, weaves together Yoruba, Pidgin, and the vibrant streets of Lagos and Ibadan, resonating with audiences for its cultural authenticity.

“Women like Funmbi are showing the world what Nigerian creativity can do,” one online post read, capturing the sentiment of many who see this Cannes selection as a win for female filmmakers. Discussions cited how women are not only starring in Nollywood’s stories but also steering its direction, crafting narratives that reflect Nigeria’s rich heritage and complex realities. From Uzoamaka Aniunoh’s powerful performance in the film to the countless women behind the scenes, the contributions of Nigeria’s female talent were front and center.

For many, this moment feels like a turning point, a chance for Nigerian women to claim their space in global cinema. “Our women are telling stories that matter, and the world is finally listening,” another fan shared online, summing up the pride swelling across the nation.

Come Cannes 2025, from May 13 to 24, Nigeria’s creative community is rallying behind “My Father’s Shadow” and the women helping make it a reality. Their work is a reminder that Nollywood’s heart beats strong, driven by the vision and resilience of its female storytellers, ready to captivate audiences worldwide.

Nollywood Drama: Opeyemi Aiyeola and Eniola Badmus Clash Over Hair Comment

By Prosper Mene, April 11, 2025

Two prominent Nollywood actresses, Opeyemi Aiyeola and Eniola Badmus, have set social media ablaze following a clash that began with a seemingly humorous comment about Aiyeola’s appearance. The public feud, unfolding across Instagram and other platforms, has captivated fans and ignited debates about body-shaming, sensitivity, and boundaries in the entertainment industry.

The controversy started when Opeyemi Aiyeola, a respected actress known for her roles in Yoruba films, posted a video engaging with her fans. In the clip, her receding hairline was visible, drawing attention from viewers. Among the comments, Eniola Badmus, a fellow actress and Special Assistant to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, wrote, “Ope, where is your front hair?” The remark, perceived by many as lighthearted banter, did not sit well with Aiyeola.

In a fiery Instagram Live session on April 10, 2025, Aiyeola responded, accusing Badmus of body-shaming and expressing disappointment, particularly given Badmus’s own history with public criticism over her appearance. “You, Eniola, who have experienced the hurt and pain of body-shaming, could come under my video,” Aiyeola said, calling the comment insensitive and unwarranted. She noted that the two rarely interacted online, making Badmus’s remark feel out of place. Aiyeola’s response was raw and emotional, with strong words labeling Badmus as “ignorant” and questioning her empathy as a public figure.

The video, which Aiyeola later deleted, went viral, fueling discussions among fans. Some praised Aiyeola for standing up for herself, with comments like, “Exactly, you don’t do that with people you aren’t close with,” while others felt her reaction was excessive, suggesting Badmus’s comment was a harmless joke. One fan remarked, “Opeyemi’s reaction reeks of jealousy and resentment. Eniola was joking, maybe a bad one.”

Badmus responded with an apology in the comments section of Aiyeola’s post, stating, “Babe, I was just joking with you, and heaven sees my heart that it’s coming from a place of love based on our relationship, but if you find it offensive, no vex.” However, Aiyeola dismissed the apology as insincere in a follow-up video on April 11, saying, “Her comment of apology, to me, is not genuine.” She also urged her fans not to escalate the conflict, emphasizing that she didn’t want a “social media war.” Aiyeola clarified that she removed her initial video after receiving support from colleagues and fans privately, not because of Badmus’s response.

The clash has highlighted deeper issues within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where public personas are often subjected to intense scrutiny. Aiyeola’s supporters argue that her response sheds light on the emotional toll of unsolicited comments, especially for women navigating personal challenges like hair loss, which may stem from conditions such as frontal fibrosing alopecia. Badmus’s defenders, meanwhile, point to her track record of enduring harsh criticism herself, suggesting her comment was misjudged rather than malicious.

For now, the spotlight remains on Aiyeola and Badmus, whose clash serves as a reminder of the fine line between humor and harm in the age of social media.

Nollywood’s Rising Queens: Women Directors Redefine a Global Giant.

 

By Prosper Mene 

In a lit Lagos studio, Jade Osiberu tweaks the sound mix for her 2025 crime thriller The Shadow Runner, a pulse-pounding tale of a female ex-soldier turned vigilante. Released in January, it clocked 12 million streams on Netflix in its first month eclipsing Nollywood’s male-directed heavyweights like Kunle Afolayan’s latest and earned Osiberu a standing ovation at the Berlin Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Mo Abudu, dubbed “Africa’s Oprah,” oversees post-production on Widow’s Fire, a drama about a Nigerian woman defying patriarchal norms after her husband’s death. Launched through her EbonyLife-Netflix pact, it’s trending in 30 countries by March 2025. These women are the vanguard of Nollywood’s new wave, steering the world’s second-largest film industry churning out over 2,000 movies yearly—toward female-driven stories that resonate globally. Yet, with women making up just 15% of directors, their ascent battles funding droughts, entrenched sexism, and an industry slow to evolve. This story unpacks how they’re reshaping Nollywood’s DNA, probing whether their breakthroughs signal lasting change or a gilded anomaly.

Osiberu, 38, a former ad exec turned filmmaker, embodies the hustle Nollywood demands. Her 2025 hit, shot on a shoestring $80,000 budget, blends Lagos street grit with a heroine who’s “not here to be saved,” she tells me over Zoom. “Audiences crave real women, not props for male egos.” Her gamble paid off—The Shadow Runner outdid 2024’s top Nollywood earner, a male-led action flick, by 30% in global views. Abudu, 60, takes a different tack: her polished productions, backed by Netflix’s deep pockets, elevate Nigerian narratives to Hollywood sheen. Widow’s Fire, starring Genevieve Nnaji as a steely matriarch, has sparked X threads praising its “quiet power,” with 4 million views in its first week. Together, they’re flipping Nollywood’s script—once dominated by tales of rich men, juju curses, and docile wives—into a showcase for complex female leads who fight, grieve, and win.

But the shine belies the struggle. Industry data from the Nigerian Film Corporation shows women directors snag just 22% of available funding, often dipping into personal savings or crowdfunding. “Men get the big checks; we get skepticism,” says Funke Akindele, another rising star whose 2024 comedy grossed $1 million locally but stalled internationally for lack of marketing cash. Male producers, who control 70% of Nollywood’s purse strings, still balk at “risky” female-led projects, insiders say, citing a 2025 survey where 60% admitted preferring “proven” male talent. Abudu’s Netflix deal—rumored at $10 million over three years—makes her an outlier, not the norm. On X, fans hail “Nollywood’s queens,” but critics like @LagosFilmGuru

snipe: “It’s elite women winning, not the industry changing.” Even Osiberu admits the grind: “For every script I shoot, I pitch ten that get ignored.”

The stakes are high as streaming giants like Amazon and Disney+ circle Nollywood, drawn by its $1 billion annual haul. Female directors could ride this wave to parity—Osiberu’s next project, a sci-fi epic, has Amazon’s interest—but systemic hurdles loom. Training programs like the Women in Film Nigeria Initiative, launched in 2024, aim to boost numbers, mentoring 50 aspiring directors this year. Yet, with no government subsidies and a piracy-riddled market eating 40% of profits, progress crawls. Abudu, ever the optimist, sees a tipping point: “Every hit we make cracks the ceiling.” This dives into their victories—raw talent meeting global appetite while exposing the fault lines: an industry hooked on cheap, male-centric formulas, and a funding gap that keeps most women on the sidelines.

Hailing from Onicha Ado in Anambra State, she embodied the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria through her work, inspiring countless young actors and actresses along the way.

Fellow Nollywood stars have joined in mourning her loss.

You are indeed a blessing to us. But God knows the best. We will miss u so much great Nollywood actress. Rest on legend.”

The news of Nkechi Nweje’s passing comes at a time when Nollywood has faced a series of losses, further deepening the sense of grief within the industry. Just days ago, the community was still mourning other fallen stars, and Nweje’s death serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life.

Onyinye Odokoro: Nollywood’s Breakout Star to Watch in 2025

Rising star Onyinye Odokoro is making waves in the entertainment industry, rapidly carving out her place as one of the most exciting talents to watch in Nollywood this year. With her recent performances and screen presence, she is poised to leave a lasting impact on the Nigerian film industry.

Onyinye’s journey into Nollywood began when she moved to Lagos, driven by a deep passion for acting. Despite studying nursing at the University, her desire to pursue acting became undeniable. She recalled that it wasn’t something she could easily disregard and by her second year of university, she was certain she wanted to become an actor.

Onyinye was fully committed to charting her path, even if it meant stepping away from the conventional career route.

From childhood plays to full-time acting

Raised in Anambra and later moving to Enugu during her secondary school years, Onyinye’s childhood was filled with moments of play.

Her love for acting emerged early, with Onyinye actively participating in school plays and becoming a member of the church drama team. These formative experiences would become the foundation of her acting career. However, it wasn’t until her time at University that she realized acting was more than just a hobby; it was a calling.

Although Onyinye earned a nursing degree, her growing passion for acting could not be ignored. In 2020, she decided to leave behind the stability of the medical field and pursue her dream in Lagos.

Her choice was met with initial resistance from her family. In her words, “You don’t tell an African parent you want to leave nursing to pursue acting”. But persistence eventually won them over, and today they are supporters of her career.

Onyinye’s Transformative Journey in Nollywood

From her early roles in local productions to her breakout performance in the Sky original “Unwanted”, Onyinye Odokoro has consistently captivated audiences. One of her most notable roles came in “Unwanted”, where she played a crucial part in telling the story of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. The filming of Unwanted took place on the Mediterranean Sea, in the bone-chilling cold of January.

For Onyinye, acting is more than just glamour; it’s about using her craft to spark meaningful conversations. She says, “The most rewarding part of my journey is using my voice to speak on important societal issues.”

Her commitment to telling untold stories is also evident in her involvement with “God’s Wife”, a short film that addresses harmful widowhood practices in certain African communities. In this project, Onyinye’s role shines a light on social issues that are often overlooked, turning the spotlight on awareness and change.

Shining as Zara in “Princess on a Hill”

Onyinye Odokoro’s captivating portrayal of Zara Osara in Showmax’s “Princess on a Hill” has established her as one of Nollywood’s rising stars. Zara, a multifaceted character whose transformation from naïveté to resilience mirrors real-life growth, is played with depth and authenticity by Onyinye.

“She starts off looking like your girl-next-door,” Onyinye explains of her character, “but she’s incredibly intelligent. Watching her progression as she learns, adapts, and grows into her power was a joy to bring to life.”

Her portrayal of Zara is no easy feat, with the character featured prominently in almost every scene. Onyinye discusses the challenges of maintaining Zara’s emotional state throughout non-chronological filming: “It wasn’t just about learning the lines—it was about delivering them with emotional precision and staying true to Zara’s state of mind.” The stakes are high, with dialogues that push the boundaries of her craft, ultimately making the experience both transformative and enriching for her as an actress.

One of the show’s most captivating dynamics is the evolving relationship between Zara and Ozzy (played by Efa Iwara), a storyline that leaves viewers questioning: “Was he really a love interest, or is there more to the story?” As Onyinye teases, fans are in for a thrilling journey as they uncover the layers beneath the characters’ interactions.

As much as Princess on a Hill is about Zara’s growth, Onyinye also values the lessons woven into the series. The business-centric dialogues, such as those by the character Moyosore Lawson, resonate with aspiring entrepreneurs. “When Moyo speaks, you’ll feel like Tony Elumelu himself is giving you insider business secrets. Viewers will want to take notes,” she adds.

On her challenges and inspirations

For Onyinye, acting isn’t just about delivering lines; it’s about ensuring that the character’s essence is duly captured. “There’s always the wonder and worry—am I capturing this character’s truth?” she said.

This pursuit of authenticity drives her, and she finds inspiration in both Nigerian and international actresses. She admires Viola Davis’s fearless performances and the cultural impact of Genevieve Nnaji, acknowledging the way they shape their legacies. “I watch and learn from them. Their performances inspired me to dig deeper into my craft.”

Despite ongoing discussions about Nollywood’s struggle to produce new megastars, Onyinye remains optimistic about the industry’s direction. “There’s so much talent in Nollywood. We’re in a time when the audience has endless options across platforms like Showmax. While it’s harder for a single name to dominate, it’s a great time for actors to shine in their niches,” she reflects.

Her excitement about the evolving role of women in the industry is palpable. “More women are producing, directing, and leading projects, and I’m proud to be part of this movement where we tell our own stories unapologetically.”

A bright future for Onyinye Odokoro

As her career continues to skyrocket, Onyinye is excited about tackling a variety of roles that will challenge her even further. From rom-coms and family dramas to action films and sports dramas, she is eager to broaden her range. “I’ve always wanted to be part of an action role,” she said, hinting at a future full of new, dynamic challenges.

With her passion for storytelling, commitment to her craft, and versatility as an actress, Onyinye Odokoro is primed for an incredible 2025. From Princess on a Hill to other exciting projects on the horizon, this rising star is ready to take Nollywood—and the world—by storm.
