The way many Nigerian public servants speak to the very people they’re meant to serve is still so military-regime coded. There’s this constant undertone of hostility, and “don’t question authority.” And honestly, you can trace a lot of it back to the family unit too. Many people are raised in environments where authority is rarely questioned, obedience is valued over dialogue, and respect is equated with fear. So that same dynamic just reproduces itself in schools, workplaces, institutions, and eventually governance.

Call Of My Life is now one of the Top 10 highest-grossing Nigerian films of all time. This one is special. A small film made with so much love, faith, and the belief that audiences would show up for a simple, beautiful love story.
Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, told a friend, dragged a friend, laughed, cried, posted, reviewed, and supported Call Of My Life.
We made history together.

See you at the cinemas.

[Blessing Uzzi @blessinguzzi]

Every filmmaker and every team works incredibly hard to bring audiences into cinemas. We all use the tools we have, our personalities, our creativity, and our communities to get people to show up for Nigerian cinema.
At Bluhouse, we believe there is room for all of us to win. At the end of the day, every win for Nigerian cinema is a win for all of us.
Thank you again for supporting Call Of My Life and for showing us so much love. Watch Call Of My Life in a cinema near you today.

I deeply appreciate all the love Call Of My Life is receiving. Truly grateful ❤️
I’ve also seen a lot of conversations around the marketing of the film, and while I appreciate the compliments, I really hope we can celebrate the marketing of one film without putting down the strategy of another. There is no one way to market a film or bring people into cinemas.

[Ozedikus Nwanne @Ozedikus]

Nigeria is too underdeveloped to be this expensive to live in

[Femi D. Ogunsanwo @FemiOgunsanw0]

Yeah 👍🏾

Heavy on word of mouth … But also
“Call of My Life” did an amazing job with its Unique marketing prior to release.

The Boy Who Gave was mostly Word of Mouth & TikTok trending

Happy to see both films doing well, it’s a big Positive for Producers going to Cinema

[ALLISON✨🌍 @Allison_Nuel]

Good morning all.
I am Allison… Lead Actor, Writer, Director & Producer/Executive Producer of The Boy Who Gave.

It’s been almost 3 weeks since the release of my debut feature in cinemas nationwide and I want to take a moment to extend my gratitude to everyone who’s shown me support by watching.

It’s been all over the TL that a producer without a fanbase should never attempt taking a movie to cinemas but you showed up for me regardless. Horrible showtimes, but you came out to watch and show support regardless… I am grateful.

Special thanks to everyone who’s been talking about the film. Everyone who’s been letting people know that it’s a great film. Thank you! For your messages, videos, posts… thank you!
Thanks to my Mentor for all his guidance during this period.
Thanks to my Team to forging strong and doing the best we can.
Thanks to God for taking control. 🙏

THE BOY WHO GAVE is still in cinemas nationwide! It is a really important film. You should see it this week if you haven’t. ❤️

There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.

Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.

You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.

Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.

There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.

And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:

“What exactly are they reacting to?”

Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.

The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.

And God said:

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)

Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.

Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.

Statements like:

“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”

do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.

Genesis 1 says:

“Male and female created he them.”

God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.

And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.

Order does not mean value.

Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.

In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.

So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?

You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.

News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.

To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!

And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.

The logic collapses immediately.

The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.

And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:

“Have we represented Christ properly?”

Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.

Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.

🇳🇬We’re running it back! Following widespread public demand, My Father’s Shadow will return to Nigerian cinemas from 5th June 2026 for a special limited re-release.

We swept #AMVCA12, winning Best Movie, Director, Writing (Movie), Music/Score and Sound Design. Initially released in 16 states across the country from September 2025, Nigeria was the first country in the world to show My Father’s Shadow widely in cinemas.

The film is set in the aftermath of the historic June 12 1993 Nigerian election crisis, a date that has since become Nigeria’s Democracy Day. This re-release invites audiences to revisit the film as a living archive of memory and nationhood ahead of June 12.

[EZÉN'NMÚÒ OF KD IS GOING GLOBAL @josiah_japheth]

Exhibitors need to think of better ways to accommodate all films rather than giving poor showtimes to films they perceive won’t do well.

The Boy Who Gave literally just came out, at least pretend to have some faith in a new filmmaker. Thankfully, it was able to do some numbers.

You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.

You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.

“romcom is cringe” as opposed to what? love itself is inherently absurd. yearning is embarrassing, devotion is theatrical, and vulnerability has always carried a certain humiliation to it. that’s precisely what makes it beautiful.

[ALLISON✨🌍 @Allison_Nuel]

We made over 20% of our production budget in 3 days!!!🤯😱

-Without a star-studded cast
-Without a marketing budget
-Without any brand backing
-Without a popular Director,Producer or Lead Actor!
-Strangulating Showtimes😭
-Amidst HEAVY competition!

Just a great film & word of mouth.
Thank you Jesus! Thank you God😭

Thank you to all who believed in me enough to come out for me this weekend to watch the best movie of the year! You are the reason why Nollywood will not fold. Because you believe in the young generation of filmmakers.

This is so shocking.
Thank you!😭🙏❤️

THE BOY WHO GAVE is in all cinemas now! Support Nollywood’s Youngest Filmmaker to have a Cinema Movie!

It’s a new week! Let’s goooo🥰
