Nile Entertainment, led by Group CEO Moses Babatope, has announced its first major project under its new distribution arm. The company will distribute The Uprising: Wives on Strike 3, marking a significant milestone for Babatope’s venture following his departure from FilmOne as Managing Director.
On August 13, 2024, Babatope took to Instagram to share the news, expressing excitement about the project. The film is the third installment in the popular Wives on Strike franchise, directed by Omoni Oboli, who returns to the big screen after a five-year hiatus.
