Nollywood Actor and Producer, Omoni Oboli, has begun works on her fourth production as a Producer and Director.

The new work “Okafor’s Law” is coming on the heels of the success of ‘Wives on Strike’ which became the third most successful nollywood movie in Cinema ever.

Okafor’s Law is a comedy about a married woman who ran into her past love and had to contend with the legendary Okafor’s Law to save herself and her marriage.

Okafor’s Law is a law which states that if a man sleeps with a woman once, he can always bed the woman again irrespective of new developments like marriage, new boyfriend or break up.

With Okafor’s Law, Omoni is raising the bar and stepping up several inches from where she left off with her past movies. Apart from high quality crew led by respectable Director of photography, Yinka Edward and respected Set Designer, Pat Nebo, the movie also boasts of actors and actresses of note.

The cast of the movie are; Richard Mofe Damijo, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Ufuoma McDermott, Tina Mba, Ken Erics, Toyin Aimakhu, Lala Akindoju, Yvonne Jegede, Halima Abubakar, Mary Lazarus, Uche Nnaji, Betty Irabor, Gabriel Afolayan, Ken Erics and Omoni herself.

Omoni Oboli, who has thrilled her audience in the past with her back-to-back hits ranging from Being Mrs. Elliot, The First Lady to Wives on Strike. She remains a force to reckon with in the industry having won several accolades both at home and abroad. Her past three works were successful at the cinema and among the three, Wives on Strike has been the most successful movie in cinemas this year having grossed over 70 million Naira.

With Okafor’s Law, expectations are high as to how far Omoni and her team can go on this.

Speaking with Gabriel Afolayan, a member of the cast, he rated the work as a “high level standard.” “This is a very ‘high level standard’, this is one of those set that you would be on and you are glad that you are working. You get to experience a thorough film making process, the breakdown of scenes and shots and the feel of intense lightening. Those are the very important things that most of the filmmakers don’t even get to do sometime and having Yinka Edward on set, it couldn’t have been any better, with standard equipment, standard crew in terms of numbers.”

He also rated Omoni’s directing skills as being special. “She is special, very special. She knows everything she’s looking for and that’s one thing some Directors don’t know about. She works in line with the vision of what she’s doing. I’m very impressed with her skills and these skills will take her places.”
