Nollywood actress
and director, Omoni Oboli,
has sent words of appreciation
to her fans for the box office
success of her movie, “Wives
on Strike”.
The movie, which grossed

four weeks, has made Omoni
the all-time Nollywood boxoffice
queen.
In a recent interview, she
said: “I am very grateful for
the immense support you
have shown me.
“This did not come as a result
of efforts on my part alone,
but a divine favour from God
who looked upon me with
grace and favour and made it
possible for my movies to find
acceptance with the diverse
audiences across Nigeria,
Ghana and abroad.
“I can’t thank the fans
enough for coming out in
droves to not only sit and
watch my movies, but also to
go out of their way to convince
others to watch my movies, so
that they have become soldout
box office successes backto-
back.
“I’m also grateful for the
endorsement deals and
fabulous movie deals I’ve
gotten because of your
patronage.
“Also, I do not take it lightly
when I say that my family has
been so supportive, and the
backbone of my career, so that
I’m able to joggle both work
and family without missing a
beat.”
Oboli, a Delta State
indigene, has begun to enjoy
