Omoni Oboli and MTN plans seven Christmas movies

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has joined forces with MTN Nigeria to bring seven Christmas movies to audiences during the 2026 festive season, giving Nigerian movie lovers something exciting to look forward to.

The partnership was unveiled at the MTN x Omoni Oboli TV Christmas Movie Mixer in Lagos, which brought together actors, filmmakers, content creators and other entertainment industry professionals.

Oboli expressed her excitement about the collaboration, describing it as an opportunity to give her fans more entertainment during the Christmas period. The filmmaker announced that she was grateful to MTN for supporting the project and helping her bring seven movies to life.

The collaboration will see the movies released through Omoni Oboli TV, her YouTube entertainment platform. The films are expected to reach audiences through digital distribution, making it easier for viewers to enjoy Nigerian productions from their homes.

One important aspect of the partnership is affordability. According to reports, MTN’s YouTube data bundles are expected to help reduce the cost of streaming the films. This could make the productions more accessible to viewers who want to enjoy entertainment without spending too much on internet data.

Christmas movie season has become an important part of festive entertainment. For many families, the holiday period is an opportunity to relax, spend time together and enjoy movies that reflect the spirit of the season. Stories about love, family, forgiveness, friendship and togetherness often make Christmas films particularly appealing.

For Nollywood, the project also represents an opportunity to showcase Nigerian storytelling and create more opportunities for people working behind and in front of the camera. Producing seven movies involves the contributions of actors, scriptwriters, directors, editors and other production professionals.

Oboli has also explained that increased viewership can benefit the creative industry because successful productions can generate more opportunities for filmmakers to employ talent and invest in additional projects.

Fans can therefore look forward to more than just another Christmas release. The partnership represents a collaboration between entertainment and telecommunications, bringing local stories closer to audiences while supporting the growth of Nigeria’s creative industry.

With seven movies planned for the festive season, Omoni Oboli and MTN are giving Nollywood audiences another reason to make Nigerian films part of their Christmas celebrations.
