The film weaves themes of academic pressure, dark secrets, and the haunting cost of perfection in a setting all too familiar a prestigious Nigerian boarding school.
Set in an elite secondary school, Ms. Kanyin centres on Amara, a brilliant but desperate student who makes a reckless decision in her quest for academic excellence.
In doing so, she unknowingly awakens an ancient spirit. What begins as a calculated risk quickly unravels into a terrifying struggle for survival.
At the centre of the chaos is the titular Ms. Kanyin, a once-quiet teacher whose reality is shattered by the darkness lurking within her school’s walls.
Directed by Jerry Ossai, the film stars Temi Otedola, Michelle Dede, Kanaga Jnr, and Tolu George, alongside a powerful ensemble of rising young actors.
With Ms. Kanyin, we wanted to explore fear through a Nigerian lens drawing on our folklore, school experiences, and the silent battles young people face every day.
Together, they deliver a story that is emotionally raw, culturally rich, and chillingly suspenseful — blending coming-of-age intensity with West African folklore.
“With Ms. Kanyin, we wanted to tell a horror story rooted in our lived experiences the pressure of growing up, the fear of failure, and the consequences of silence.
It’s thrilling, deeply Nigerian, and speaks to a generation hungry for bold storytelling,” said Derin Adeyokunnu, Co-Founder of Nemsia Studios.
The film’s debut marks another milestone for Nemsia Studios, known for acclaimed titles like Before 30, Breath of Life, and The Fire & the Moth.

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
