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.
