Often times, people who work behind the scenes of movies are often neglected in the celebration of the success of most blockbuster movies. since its premiere at the cinemas on the 8th of April 2016, wives on strike has created a lot of buzz in Nigeria. we therefore want to identify those individuals who were secretly behind the success of this Comedy movie.

1.     Steve Sodiya

Giving Credits to Omoni Oboli for selecting an indigenous team for her Wives on Strike Movie, Who else if not him could have done the editing? That night at the Ozone Cinemas, I thought I was seeing a 3D movie.

  2.       Micheal Ogunlade

Before the emergence of Micheal ogunlade, Sound design and film scoring remain a big challenge for filmmakers in Nigeria. He is seasoned composer, music producer and audio engineer, Michael ‘Truth’ Ogunlade, who leaves on all his works an irreplaceable musical impression with a distinct feel of classic Afro-centrism.

Truth, as he’s fondly called, is the secret behind the success of the theme song and scoring of  Omoni oboli’s Wives on Strike ,Kunle Afolayan’s Phone Swap and many other Nollywood blockbuster movies.

3.      Nnamdi Oboli

I still find this fascinating that a couple jointly produced a movie. Nnamdi Oboli who recently wrote a book on marriage and relationship got married to Omoni in the year 2000. He has been very supportive to Omoni Oboli’s Movie career and played a major role in her recent movie Wives on Strike as a co-producer with his loving wife.  

4.        John Demps
