Actress Toyin Abraham has received praise from the Nigerian government after her most recent film, Oversabi Aunty, made ₦1 billion at the box office. On Monday, the film, which debuted on December 19, 2025, brought in N1 billion.
The Federal Government, via the Nigeria Film Corporation, responded to Toyin Abraham’s accomplishment by characterizing the new record as “another strong signal of progress for the nation’s creative economy.”
The Corporation in a statement shared by its managing director, Ali Nuhu, said: “This achievement places Ms. Abraham in the prestigious league of filmmakers whose works have not only connected culturally with audiences but have also demonstrated strong commercial viability in an increasingly competitive cinema market.
“Oversabi Aunty is a clear example of how locally rooted stories, when properly produced, and strategically marketed, can achieve extraordinary reach and impact. The film’s success reflects a deep understanding of the Nigerian audience, a strong distribution strategy, and the growing cinema-going culture across the country.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
