The retelling, which was released in cinemas on April 7, 2023, takes fans of the original Nollywood classic into the dangerous world of Nigerian sex workers, where anything is possible.

The story revolves around four main female characters—Ekwutosi, Fisayo, Promise, and Madam Vee—and the choices they make and the domino effects of those choices.

It was directed by the mastermind behind the 1996 hit, Zeb Ejiro. It is the first time in Nollywood that the remake or reboot of a classic is handled by its original creator.

This reboot was produced by Ejiro’s Zeb Productions, FilmOne Entertainment, and Kayode Kasum’s FilmTrybe. This movie is a retelling of the original story, which was released 27 years ago.

Omoni Oboli marriage revelation

Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli reveals she has never considered ending her marriage despite early struggles, offering advice to young couples

 

Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has revealed that she has never considered leaving her husband, Nnamdi Oboli, despite challenges in their marriage.

The couple, who tied the knot on 28 October 2000, recently appeared on an episode of *Pulse Fun Facts*, where they took turns answering intimate questions in the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

During the conversation, Nnamdi asked his wife, *“Have you ever had an ‘I’m done’ moment in our relationship, and how did you handle it?”* Without hesitation, Omoni responded, *“No, I’ve never.”*

However, the 46-year-old actress admitted that she has sometimes questioned getting married at a young age. *“I’ve had moments where I was like, ‘Why did I get married so early?’ but never ‘I’m done.’ Ever,”* she shared.

The couple reminisced about their early years together, revealing that frequent arguments characterised the start of their marriage. *“When we first got married, we quarrelled every single day. We quarrelled a lot. We quarrelled so much,”* Omoni recalled.

She attributed these misunderstandings to their lack of courtship before marriage, saying, *“It’s because we didn’t date. That’s what people don’t realise. We didn’t date. So, that first month, we were really just getting to know each other well.”*

Nnamdi playfully added, *“You thought it was a scam anyway.”* To which Omoni, laughing, replied, *“I was like, ‘You scammed me.’”*

Reflecting on their journey, Nnamdi offered some advice to young couples. He emphasised that marriage requires effort and responsibility. *“Marriage is a responsibility. You don’t go into a marriage expecting it to happen to you. You are not the third party in your marriage.

You are the relationship. It’s between two people; you have to make it work,”* he advised.
