The movies featured below, are, in fact, carefully-selected movies made for the worldwide audience, with highly-trained professional crew members, and a movie cast made up of some A-list actors.
Enjoy.
1. SOOLE
Soole is a story of a Catholic nun, Veronica, who travelled from Lagos to Enugu after failing to fund an orphanage home. In her journey to Enugu, she opted for a cheap option ride popularly called 'Soole' where she met different commuters like herself. The journey from Lagos to Enugu featured a lot of drama including an armed robbery attack on their way to Enugu.
The long journey to Enugu was beyond ordinary. It was trailed by various dramas, from the driver picking up passengers along the road to a pastor preaching and collecting offerings, to another passenger selling sex enhancement products, and then to the unfortunate robbery where a bag belonging to a passenger was stolen. The armed robbers soon discovered that they carried the wrong bag, which brought about a significant twist in the entire storyline.

As his chances at love are also snuffed out due to his parents’ act, Kosiso goes on a gruesome revenge mission going after everyone he holds responsible for his situation.
4. HEY, YOU

While Abel is shy, Bianca is a pro: an absolute expert on the Fans Alone website where she makes the sexual wishes of her clients come to pass.
However, things began to take a drastic turn when Abel falls in love with Bianca. It does appear that Bianca is under the slight duress of another man she met online, who does not want her anywhere near Abel because he wants her all to himself.
It would take all of Abel’s courage to fight for Bianca and save her from the clench of the man that doesn’t want to let her go. But the question that remains hanging in the air is: Is Bianca worth fighting for?
