Which Way’: Musical Drama Set for African Premiere at AFRIFF in Lagos

A new Nigerian musical drama titled Which Way is set to make its African premiere at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in Lagos on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The film is produced by Bold Pictures and directed by Jide Okeke.

The film tells the story of a troubled family in Lagos, focusing on a mechanic who is struggling with painful experiences from his past while trying to keep his family together. As the family faces different challenges, anger, past experiences and problems within the home begin to affect their relationships.

What makes Which Way interesting is the way it combines acting with music. Instead of using only normal conversations to tell the story, the characters also express their feelings through songs. This gives viewers another way to understand what the characters are going through. The actors also performed live singing during filming, making the musical part of the movie an important feature.

The film features several Nollywood actors, including Floyd Igbo, Chidinma Nebo, Mariam Kayode, Onome Akpotebu, Stan Nze, Chimezie Imo, Ijeoma Grace Agu and Yemi Blaq. With this combination of familiar faces and musical storytelling, the film is expected to attract the attention of movie lovers.

The African premiere will take place at Filmhouse Cinemas, Landmark, Victoria Island, Lagos, at 8pm. Members of the cast are also expected to attend a question-and-answer session after the screening, giving viewers an opportunity to hear more about the film and how it was made.

AFRIFF is an important event for the African movie industry because it brings filmmakers, actors, producers and movie lovers together. It provides a platform for filmmakers to show their work to new audiences and connect with other people in the industry.

For Nollywood, festivals like AFRIFF create opportunities for Nigerian films to reach audiences beyond regular cinema screenings. They also help filmmakers gain recognition and introduce their stories to people from different countries. New and upcoming filmmakers can also use the festival to showcase their talents and learn from experienced people in the industry.

One of the major things to watch for at the Which Way premiere is how the film uses music to tell a family story. Viewers will also be interested in the performances of the actors, especially how they combine singing and acting in emotional scenes.

The question-and-answer session after the screening is another part to look forward to, as the cast and production team will have the opportunity to share their experiences.

With its combination of family drama, music and familiar Nollywood faces, Which Way is bringing a different style of storytelling to the big screen. Its African premiere at AFRIFF will give audiences an opportunity to discover the film and experience what the production team has created.
