Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli is tooting her horns following her recent achievement on Netflix.
Taking to her Instagram page, she revealed that her 2019 movie, Last Year Single, is still making waves on Netflix despite it being years since it was released. She noted how her movie is still the number-one show on Netflix in Nigeria.
Describing it as not a mean feat, she stated that prison break couldn’t break us, even though it was top 10 in other countries.
“Still the number one show on Netflix in Nigeria!!! Listen this is no mean feat! Prison break couldn’t break us! Even though it was top 10 in other countries. So thankful for you guys keeping us on top. Getting into the 3rd week!
My big question is ‘What does Afua @bimboademoye really want?!!!’
The only person I feel bad for amongst them is Tamtam @iamtonitones. Only one clear about her aspirations yet it’s just not working.
If you haven’t watched LAST YEAR SINGLE on Netflix. Take this as your sign to go watch! The truth is, you will see yourself or at least your friends in one of the characters. A past experience or a current reality. You will learn a lot too!
It’s fun, flirty, chaotic, and sexy.
Last 2 slides got us feeling ourselves”.
It is undoubtedly the era of female filmmakers winning in Nollywood as this year has recorded a lot of female producers and filmmakers making big moves in the industry.
A few days back, Wumi Toriola had expressed excitement as one of her movies on YouTube hit 4 million views in just a month. Describing it as a big deal, she gave a thumbs up to herself, her cast, crew, and fans.
In July, Wumi celebrated a huge milestone on YouTube as she hit 100k subscribers, which was undoubtedly a big feat. Declaring the day a monumental one, Wumi expressed how delighted she was, noting how it reflects the strong connection she and her team have built with their subscribers and millions of viewers.
Similarly, actress Bimbo Ademoye expressed excitement as her latest movie, Last Straw, which featured Timini and Shaffy Bello, got eight million views in less than a month on YouTube.
This year, Funke Akindele made history in January as the first Nigerian filmmaker to gross over a billion at cinemas, as her latest movie, A Tr!be Called Judah, grossed over N1.4 billion.

Her movies in the past three years, A Tr!be Called Judah, Battle On Buka Street, and Omo Ghetto The Saga, are the highest-grossing Nollywood films ever.
Adding to the list, Mercy Aigbe made her first delve into Cinema production with Ada Omo Daddy which was well received by Nigerians. The movie star couldn’t keep calm when her movie grossed one hundred and eighty point seven million and became the 3rd highest grossing movie. This was a huge milestone, especially with competition from Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.
