As Toyin Abraham’s new film, Oversabi Aunty, grosses N840m in cinemas, she has confessed she does not know whether she is dreaming or awake.
It is her way of expressing positive shock as the movie becomes her financial biggest so far.
Even if all the actual she gets from the amount is 40 per cent, she is very likely to have broken even by now, while the film is still doing well on screen.
Professing her gratitude in an IG post, Abraham notes, “Firstly, Thank You, Lord. Thank you, Toyintitans (love u all with everything), and to everyone supporting me, THANK YOU from the deepest part of my heart! Honestly, I still don’t know if I’m dreaming or awake… is this real?? Dreams truly do come true. This journey has been emotional, overwhelming, and beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Film distributor FilmOne had also celebrated the achievement on Instagram, writing, “World’s Best steady delivering back-to-back Oversabi Box office numbers! Oversabi Aunty is now the Highest Grossing Film in the Toyin Abraham Production, grossing ₦850M and counting. It’s also one of the top two highest-grossing titles of 2025! Thank you to everyone who made this possible. This win is yours as well. Thank you for showing up and spreading the word.”
Released on December 19, ‘Oversabi Aunty’ followed the story of a well-meaning but overly involved aunty whose attempts to solve everyone’s problems lead to hilarious misunderstandings and heartwarming revelations. An advanced screening on December 18 generated widespread buzz, setting the stage for its nationwide success.
