“To every filmmaker still creating in Nollywood right now, take a bow. The sleepless nights, the budgets that don’t stretch, the risks no one talks about, the faith it takes to keep going. Cinema, streaming, YouTube—wherever your film lives—it counts. It matters. Because it takes more than talent; it takes resilience, belief, and heart. And that is what Nollywood is built on. If you’re still making films in Nollywood in this economy… you’re doing something powerful. Different platforms, same passion. Different paths, same purpose. I see you. I celebrate you,” she wrote.

Oboli’s message serves as a tribute to the creativity, endurance, and spirit of filmmakers who continue to shape and elevate Nigerian cinema despite economic and industry challenges.
