Nigerian actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has announced that her blockbuster film, Omo Ghetto: The Saga, will be available for free streaming on YouTube starting Saturday, May 10, 2025. The announcement was made via her official social media platforms, including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), where she shared a video encouraging fans to subscribe to the FAANtv YouTube channel to watch the film.

Omo Ghetto: The Saga, which premiered in cinemas in December 2020, is a sequel to Akindele’s 2010 film Omo Ghetto. The movie follows the story of twin sisters leading contrasting lives—one as a criminal gang leader and the other as a law-abiding citizen. The film blends comedy, drama, and action, showcasing themes of family, loyalty, and societal issues.

The film features an ensemble cast, including Chioma Akpotha, Nancy Isime, and Eniola Badmus. It achieved significant commercial success, grossing over ₦636.1 million at the box office, making it one of the highest-grossing Nigerian films to date.

Akindele’s decision to release the film on YouTube aims to make it accessible to a broader audience, particularly those who may not have had the opportunity to watch it in cinemas. She emphasized the importance of reaching fans worldwide and providing entertainment that resonates with diverse audiences.

The YouTube release is part of Akindele’s broader strategy to leverage digital platforms for content distribution, reflecting the evolving landscape of film consumption. By making Omo Ghetto: The Saga available online, she continues to solidify her position as a leading figure in Nollywood, committed to innovation and audience engagement.

Fans are encouraged to subscribe to the FAANtv YouTube channel and turn on notifications to watch the film upon its release. The move is anticipated to garner significant viewership, further cementing the film’s status as a cultural phenomenon.
