Directed by the talented ChinneyLove Eze in what feels like a bold and confident directorial debut, This Is War delivers a rollercoaster of family secrets, betrayal, and raw emotion that keeps you glued from the opening scene to the powerful final moments. No dull moments here—this is classic Nollywood at its most engaging!
The story kicks off with the sudden death of Chief Chidi Ibokwu from a heart attack, leaving his family in chaos. His lawyer (a solid performance by Richard Ameche) drops a bombshell via a video will: the estate can only be claimed if Chief's hidden daughter Lexi (Chidimma Ugwu) is introduced to the family and all his estranged children are united. Fail that, and everything goes to his foundation. Cue the fireworks!
At the heart of the storm is Betty (Uche Jombo in powerhouse mode), the grieving widow who discovers—for the first time—that her late husband fathered children outside their marriage. Her fury, heartbreak, and eventual strength make her the emotional anchor of the film. Uche Jombo brings layers of pain, rage, and quiet dignity that make you feel every betrayal.
Then comes the ultimate twist: Betty's best friend Evelyn (Oge Okoye, making a welcome and electrifying return to the screen) has been hiding a massive secret tied to the Chief for years. The betrayal cuts deep, and the confrontations are intense! Oge Okoye reminds us why she's a fan favorite—her presence lights up every scene, blending vulnerability with fierce energy.
Supporting cast shines too: Peace Adegoke as Betty's daughter Tara commands attention with her poised delivery and impressive command of English—fans are already calling her out for stealing scenes! Bianca Ugowanne, Chidimma Ugwu as Lexi, and the rest of the ensemble (Ojue Christianan, Nwoko Chidinma, etc.) add depth to this tangled web of family ties.
A well-written script packed with twists, heartfelt dialogues, and real-life resonance. It's not just entertainment—it's a mirror to the hidden pains many families carry.
Fans are buzzing: one viewer said,
"I miss Oge Okoye, it's because of her I'm watching this movie!"
Another praised Tara's performance, while many resonated deeply with Betty's humiliation and heartbreak, noting how painfully real it feels—
"This is happening in real life and it's heartbreaking."
This film doesn't shy away from the ugly side of marriage, secrets, and legacy, but it does so with empathy and drama that keeps you invested.
A near-perfect Nollywood watch—9/10! If you're in the mood for high-stakes family drama with stellar acting and zero filler, click the video above to stream This Is War now.

This Is War, directed by ChinneyLove Eze, is a Nollywood drama of family secrets, betrayal, and raw emotion from start to finish. Betty's heartbreak anchors the story as hidden relatives surface, with Evelyn and Lexi driving the twists. A sharp ensemble and resonant dialogue. @nollyspot
