It is an exciting time for Nollywood actress and movie producer Omoni Oboli as her Cinema movie, The Uprising continues to soar higher.
Taking to her Instagram page, the movie maker who made her return to the Cinema world revealed that her movie had grossed over N93 million within a week and had become the number 1 Nollywood film of the weekend. Crediting the new feat to her Maker, she appreciated her best friends and fans for the love, energy, and support as she noted how she couldn’t have done it without you.

Recall that days before her movie premiere, Omoni had called for support as she noted how it had been 5 years since her last Cinema movie, which had left her having butterflies in her stomach and being quite apprehensive.
At her movie premiere, Omoni couldn’t hold back her tears as she received a brand new car from her partners. Sharing a clip of the emotional moment, Omoni stated that it wasn’t just a car but a symbol of her growth, passion, and impact on shaping Nollywood. She stated that as a storyteller and creator in the industry, it meant so much to her to have partners who believed in her vision.
Some weeks back, Omoni had tooted her horns, after her 2019 movie, Last Year Single, made waves on Netflix despite it being years since it was released. She noted how her movie was still the number-one show on Netflix in Nigeria.
