Omoni Oboli’s romantic sequel Love in Every Word 2 has become the first Nollywood movie to hit 5 million views in less than 48 hours on YouTube, marking a historic milestone in the industry’s digital evolution. Premiering October 24 on the Omoni Oboli TV channel, the film surpassed the mark by late Saturday, outpacing its predecessor and captivating global audiences with its heartfelt story of love, marriage, and cultural resilience.
Nollywood Life reported the sequel launched with explosive momentum, reaching over 1 million views in just six hours. Within 48 hours, it soared to 5 million, proving Oboli’s unmatched ability to craft binge-worthy content that resonates worldwide. The original Love in Every Word, released in March 2025, took 24 hours to hit 2 million views, reached 4.3 million before the end of Day 3 (72 hours), and eventually exceeded 28 million. Part 2 has now shattered that benchmark with record-breaking speed.
Directed, produced, and co-written by Oboli, Love in Every Word 2 (subtitled The Wedding) continues the emotional journey of Chioma (Bamike “BamBam” Olawunmi-Adenibuyan) and Odogwu (Uzor Arukwe). It explores the challenges of marriage, family secrets, and Igbo traditions in modern Nigeria. Returning stars deliver powerful performances alongside fresh talents including Osereme Inegbenebor, Amanda Iriekpen, Susan Jimah, Thelma Chukwunwem, and Daniel Rockey Obiora. Oboli’s blend of emotional depth, sharp dialogue, and vibrant visuals has made the film a cultural phenomenon, especially among diaspora audiences in the UK, US, and beyond.
The film’s free access on YouTube, with a runtime under three hours, fueled its viral rise. Hashtags #LoveInEveryWord2 and #OmoniOboliMagic dominated X and Instagram as fans celebrated the milestone and dissected every scene, from the stunning wedding sequences to subtle business insights embedded in the story.
