Netflix And Chill!
Netflix in Nigeria has made it a culture to release most of the Nollywood movies streaming on its platform during weekends, mostly Fridays. We guess that they understand that weekends are a moment Nigerians look forward to as a moment to relieve themselves of the stress of the week and binge on their favourite movie titles streaming on the platform.
We decided to keep you updated on the Nollywood movies streaming on the platform in the next series of weekends.;
1. Dinner At My Place
The movie tells the story of a young man Timini Egbuson who plans to propose to his girlfriend (played by Sophie Alakija) with a 22-thousand-dollar ring. The story takes a turn when his crazy ex (Bisola Aiyeola) shows up and the ring ends up in her stomach.
The movie is set to stream on Netflix by 11th November. The romantic comedy also stars Charles Etubiebi, Uche Montana And Debby Felix and it is a long-form adaptation of a previous short film bearing the same name.
