Lisabi

The 2025 AMVCA nominations had nominees to cheer for, some to wonder about, and one to leave you torn between cheer and despair.

Two Yoruba epics, “Lisabi: The Uprising” and “Seven Doors”, both from Netflix, lead the pack of AMVCA 2025 nominees.

In “Lisabi: the Uprising”, Niyi Akinmolayan and Adedimeji Lateef make the same old stuff from the Yoruba Epic Movie assembly line.

The streamer has announced a two-part biopic based on the story of Egbaland hero Lisabi.
