Trailer: ‘Oversabi Aunty’ - Nollywood’s December Comedy-Drama Brings Laughter and Real-Life Lessons

Nollywood’s Oversabi Aunty arrives in cinemas on December 19, 2025, delivering a blend of comedy, family drama and sharp observational humour that’s already building buzz across social platforms. Directed by and starring Toyin Abraham, the film takes its inspiration from a viral moment — the “Oversabi Aunty” persona that exploded online — and spins it into a full-length story about a well-meaning but overzealous relative whose attempts to “fix” everyone’s problems spiral into chaotic hilarity.

In Oversabi Aunty, Abraham leads a strong ensemble including Mike Ezuruonye, Efe Irele, Jemima Osunde, Queen Nwokoye and others, each bringing energy and nuance to a script that tackles generational clashes, family expectations and the fine line between devotion and meddling.

The comedy hooks early with its sharp character moments, mostly driven by Abraham’s central performance as the titular aunty — part sage, part comic foil, all heart. While some gags lean into classic Nollywood situational humour, the film balances its laughs with emotional beats that reflect familiar family dynamics: unconditional love tangled with ego, opinionated advice turning awkward, and laughter emerging from honest human flaws.

Oversabi Aunty also plays well with its ensemble cast, letting each character’s reactions enrich the story’s rhythm rather than just amplifying punchlines. The result is a film that feels like a weekend outing with extended family — equal parts chaos, confession, and catharsis.

From the reactions to its trailer and early social buzz — viewers are already quoting lines and sharing memes — it’s clear that Oversabi Aunty aims to be more than a seasonal comedy: it’s a shared experience that spans laughter and reflection.

“Oversabi Aunty looks poised to deliver “gbas-gbos,” big laughs and perhaps a few tears — all wrapped in the familiar context of family life.”

Where to Watch: In cinemas nationwide from December 19, 2025.
