Toyin Abraham’s ‘Oversabi Aunty’ Joins the Billion Naira Club
Nollywood superstar Toyin Abraham has officially shattered a major glass ceiling. Her latest movie, Oversabi Aunty, has crossed the coveted ₦1 billion mark at the Nigerian box office. This historic achievement cements her status as one of the most powerful figures in the African film industry.
A Historic Milestone
The distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, confirmed the news earlier this week. The comedy-drama has grossed over ₦1.01 billion since its release on December 19, 2025. This makes Oversabi Aunty the fourth highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time.
Even more impressive is that this movie marks Toyin Abraham’s directorial debut. She is now the first filmmaker in Nollywood history to hit the billion-naira threshold with a first-time directorial project.
The "Billion Gang"
With this feat, Toyin Abraham joins an elite group of producers. The "Billion Gang" has largely been dominated by Funke Akindele in recent years. Now, Abraham has proven she also has the magic touch to draw massive crowds to the cinema.
The movie’s success is a huge win for the industry. It shows that Nigerian audiences are willing to pay for premium local content. Oversabi Aunty has enjoyed a steady run, maintaining strong ticket sales weeks after the holiday season ended.
About the Movie
Oversabi Aunty is a relatable comedy that strikes a chord with many Nigerian families. The story follows Toun, played by Abraham, a self-righteous church usher. She is obsessed with "fixing" other people's lives but ends up causing chaos in her own.
The film features a star-studded cast. It includes industry heavyweights like Mike Ezuruonye, Queen Nwokoye, Ngozi Ezeonu, and Odunlade Adekola. Rising stars like Enioluwa Adeoluwa and Jemima Osunde also deliver standout performances.
Closing
The movie is still showing in cinemas nationwide. It will be interesting to see how much further it can go before its run ends.
