Nollywood fans have a reason to mark their calendars this festive season as Over Sabi Aunty gears up for its nationwide cinema release on December 19, 2025. The upcoming film, led by actress Toyin Abraham, promises to deliver a blend of laughter, drama, and heartwarming family moments, something needed in the holiday season.
A Story Rooted in Every Nigerian Family
I’d like to assume the story line follows its title “Over Sabi Aunt” which says it all. Drawing from the everyday Nigerian experience of that one relative who always claims to “know it all,” the film could be built around themes of love, chaos, community, and the humorous realities of family life.

Cast
The movie features an impressive lineup of Nollywood’s finest:
- Toyin Abraham (Lead)
- Shaffy Bello
- Odunlade Adekola
- Adedimeji Lateef
- Bisola Aiyeola
Together, this cast blends comedy and drama, setting the stage for what could become one of the standout Nigerian releases of the year.
Dropping just a week before Christmas, the release date is no coincidence. December is peak season for cinema visits in Nigeria, with families and friends looking for quality entertainment to enjoy together. By positioning Over Sabi Aunty as a family-friendly blockbuster, the producers are tapping into the festive spirit, when audiences are eager for both laughter and bonding.
Over Sabi Aunty looks set to be more than just another Nollywood comedy. It is a cultural mirror, celebrating the quirks and humor of Nigerian family life, while offering audiences a chance to laugh, reflect, and reconnect during the holiday season.
