1. Living in Bondage (1992).

Living in Bondage is a 1992 Nigerian drama thriller which tells the story of a man who kills his wife in a ritual sacrifice in order to advance in power and wealth, yet his gains are short-lived, and he is subsequently haunted by her ghost.

The film was directed by Chris Obi Rapu, written by Kenneth Nnebue & Okechukwu Ogunjiofor and produced by Kenneth Nnebue.

2. Glamour Girls (1994).

This movie was described as the most daring and ambitious movie at the time. It was a deviation from the stereotypical themes of rituals, family squabbles; rather the focus was sex, power and fame.

Although certain scenes and characters were criticized for raunchiness and nudity, many praised the bravery of the key actors. The movie was classy and extravagant in every sense as each location or auto-mobile convincingly illustrated a society that indulge in material things.

3. Silent Night (1996).

The movie tells the story of a privileged student in search of excitement who joins a gang of armed robbers, believing that such action will alleviate his boredom. His father is forced to sentence him to death by firing squad.

4. Sango-The Legendary African King (1997).

To send off his troublesome wives, Alaafin Sango is so worked up that he emits fire from his mouth. And when he is to destroy his enemies at the war front, he belches fire. The rhythm of his fury has no limitation.

5. Igodo-The Land of the Living Dead (1999).

A village is in turmoil suffering from a curse laid on it and people are dying randomly. The Igwe calls a meeting of the elders and the witch doctor. One elder has a story to tell: The story of Amadioha. The secrets of the story holds the key to their misfortune.

Selected warriors from the village have to journey into the evil forest on a quest to retrieve the weapon to be used in rescuing the village.

6. Egg of Life (2006).

The movie directed by Andy Amenechi, tells the story of a king (Pete Edochie) whose only son ”Ikemefuna” is an ”ogbanje”.

Ikemefuna makes a promise to his spiritual friends to fall sick all the time and die when he is ripe of age. But when the time came, out of the unimaginable love he has for his mother, he refuses to keep to his promise. Nevertheless, his spiritual friends, stronger than he is, takes his life.

The king is devastated and calls the Chief Priestess (Clarion Chukwura) to unravel the mystery behind his death.

7. Karashika (1996).

Can we all remember the popular chant in this classic movie “karashika! karashika! Queen of Darkness, Lucifer Lucifer King of Demons?”

This movie was directed by Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi, starring Sandra Achums, Becky Okorie, Obi Madurugwu etc. It displays how Satan eats his way into the souls of the living. To recruit new followers for his kingdom of darkness he sends out Karishika, queen of demons, to the world of the living. There she misguides and seduces a number of people, who all fall prey to her because of their own shortcomings. All but the last fall for the temptation of either the fulfilment of their desperate wishes, or money, or sex. The last, a pastor, resists all temptation and is saved from hell through divine intervention in a final showdown between a Pentacostal congregation and Karishika and her helpers.

8. Issakaba (2001).

A group of vigorous men (vigilantes) with supernatural powers are employed to rid the corruption ridden land at all cost.

The men popularly known as the Bakassi Boys (Issakaba is almost Bakassi spelt backwards), are protected by charm to enable them avoid injury from criminals’ bullet and to detect innocence or guilt through the magic use of their machetes.

9. Blood Money (1997).

The movie reveals the connection between the ostentatious wealth of those in power and the exploitation and death of the poor and powerless. Human bodies, shorn of their human-ness, are needed to vomit or give birth to wealth.

The cult leader, referred to as “Lord Spiritual” by his subordinate ritualists, tells the newest member Mike that their cult, called The Vultures, operates like a bank. “They take a little risk and make plenty of money.” Mike can join the cult only after “passing through” the body of a vulture for three days.

I remember Karashika so well

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Igodo is my all time most captivating movie, the film came too soon before its time,infact you can call it Nigeria's answer to Lord of the rings or Lord of the rings Hollywood's answer to Igodo since Igodo came out 2 years before LOTR. ...[/color]

l don't watch naija movies because I don't find them entertaining

Igodo is the Only exception to that rule.

francescainnoce:
WOW!!! Nice one op* though they make people like us born in the early 199**s seem so young when infact we aren't.lol
And I have only seen one of all them movies...do you think it would be worth it to watch those classic movies in this contemporary time? I reckon that glamour girls was a top notch at that time, perhaps I might start with that.

I was born in the same period of time and I've seen all the movies. It even makes me feel old sef

Dont mind the op, equating nigerian english titled/produced movies and movies of eastern orientation to nollywood. Most of these movies u listed are in a class of their own,they laid the foundation of what is now nollywood.
U forgot: omo oru kan

Iamsynord:

Where is

1) Orun Mo RU by Baba Sala
2) Sa WO ro ide by Adebayo Faleti

4 ) Oleku by Yemi Amodu
5) Koto Aiye by Ajileye
6) Eran Iya Osogbo
7) Ololade Mr Money by Olaiya Igwe
Irunmolowo by Yinka Quadri
9) Ti Oluwa Nile by Baba Wande .

Where are they on the List ?/

Never To Be Forgotten Movies

Gboyeboy:
Where is "Diamond Ring"?

You took that question right out of my mouth.

The list is simply flawed without including "DIAMOND RING", the movie that properly introduced us to "Teju Baby face" and "Bimbo Akintola"

By d way, Igodo was almost a remake of d Yoruba's version of "Ogboju ode ninu igbo irumole", there's nothing epic in copying another epic series.

what of the battle of mussanga ?

Kai dat list is nt complete without films like Aki na Ukwa, Osofia goes to London, Mr Ibu.

JÉNÌFÁ should be on that list... Dah movie rockz, i swear.

What of Arelu

What about "Died Wretched"? That film was something else with a lot of morals.

u forgot to mention" Nneka the pretty serpent'' "witch doctor of d living dead" those were d days of good n sensible movies u forgot to mention" Nneka the pretty serpent'' "witch doctor of d living dead" those were d days of good n sensible movies
