The first trailer for Netflix’s first Nigerian Christmas comedy, ‘A Naija Christmas,’ directed by revered filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, has been released.
The comedy, which stars Rachel Oniga, Efa Iwara, Kunle Remi, and Alvin Abayomi and will premiere on Netflix on December 16, follows the lives of three brothers, Ugo, Chike, and Obi, and their mother, whose only wish is for her sons to bring home brides.
Mercy Johnson, Lateef Adedimeji, Caroline King, Ade Laoye, and Linda Osifo played supporting roles in ‘A Naija Christmas,’ which was shot in Lagos in July.
Afolayan shared a first look at the comedy on Instagram, writing: “We have kept this under wrap but now it’s ready! The first Christmas Movie of its kind!!! You guys are not ready for the drama coming through in December 16. A NETFLIX original, Produced and directed by the one and only Kunle Afolayan.”
The feature was the last film in which veteran actress Rachel Oniga starred before her death in July, according to the filmmaker.
Following the premiere of ‘Swallow’ in October, ‘A Naija Christmas’ will be Afolayan’s second Netflix Original this year.
