Omoni Oboli Declares ‘The Uprising’ the Best Nigerian Movie
The actress, who is also a wife, mother, and grandmother, expressed her joy over the film’s impact, particularly praising the reviews from her sons. Oboli shared how her children, who have high standards when it comes to films, couldn’t stop talking about The Uprising and even compared it to Hollywood movies. “My sons dissected The Uprising for over two hours and gave it 10/10,” she proudly wrote. “That’s the greatest joy for me – I am satisfied!”
Oboli emphasized that the film has garnered no “mid-reviews,” with viewers expressing their admiration across Nigeria, Canada, the UK, and Francophone Africa. She encouraged those who haven’t seen the movie to watch it, calling it the “most impactful and intriguing movie” of the year.
Her excitement wasn’t limited to her sons’ reactions alone. Oboli also shared a sweet moment when her daughter, Naya, squealed every time she appeared on screen, thinking she was speaking directly to her. The filmmaker concluded her post by thanking everyone who has supported the film and invited fans to join her at Cineplex Cinemas Vaughan for screenings.
The Uprising is already being celebrated as a standout film in Nigerian cinema, and Oboli’s bold declaration reflects the pride and dedication she has poured into her craft.
