There are a lot of very funny African comedy movies. No Surrender is about an ex-soldier who will go to any lengths in order to stop misdemeanours. However, because most people are scared of him, he gets away with his own bad conduct. After his younger brother dies, he marries the widow against her will. Then he tries to make her into a good wife. The film stars Nkem Owoh.

Return Of Aku and Popo Sisters features Osita Iheme and Chindu Ekedieze. It centers on Erente who protects himself and his fellow villagers using special powers. Aki and Popo are looking to create a better relationship with him but they're not sure how without starting trouble. There is a sequel to this film too.

Suicide Bombers is a comedy about Charles Inojie, Charles Awurum and Victor Osuagwu. It's about the lengths people will go to in order to escape poverty. There is a sequel featuring the same actors and a companion film called Lost Bomb. Some people have said they are among the funniest films ever to be produced in Africa.

A bus driver named Ishmael is the central character in Crime Crisis. He thinks that Nigeria is in decline and the only way it can be reversed is if things change.
