Sola Sobowale’s incredible delivery of the classic bride’s mum will not to be forgotten soon. The Wedding Party also gets the benefit of an impressive cast that delivers. It manages to tell the tale of every Nigerian owambe you have attended in one very entertaining movie run. However, its safe to say that this movie deserves all its hype. Having made the rounds in teaser photos, hype talk and even an international tour (Toronto to South Africa) since mid year, the film is finally coming home with a premiere that should be worth talking about on the 26th of November.

‘The Wedding Party’ has raised its fair share of expectations. The problem with Nigerian movies that have had a lot of hype is that they more often than not fall short of all the expectations they have built up. It also stars Zainab Balogun, AY Makun, Ikechukwu, Beverly Naya, Enyinna Nwigwe, EmmaOhMaGod, Lepacious Bose and the incredibly funny Frank Donga. The result of a collaboration between EbonyLife Films, FilmOne Distribution, Koga Studios and Inkblot Productions (Elfikke Collective), The Wedding Party stars Banky W ( Dozie Onwuka) and Adesua Etomi (D unni Coker) as the movie’s love interests Atunyota Akpobome and Sola Sobowale are the The Cokers (Dunni’s parents) and Ireti Doyle and Richard Mofe-Damijo as The Onwukas (Dozie’s parents).


The Wedding Party is the much anticipated Nollywood romcom directed by (up until now) music-video director, Kemi Adetiba.
