If you have Netflix and enjoy romcoms, you’ll probably like Isoken! It’s the classic “oh dear society and my family are pressuring me to get married and there’s two hot guys to choose from” movie. Nothing super new for the genre, but the leads have that all-important chemistry, real chemistry, and Isoken’s family and friend relationships along the way are also sweet (sometimes her talks with her friends are reminiscent of Sex and the City). Solidly delivers the feel-good stuff you want from a romcom. If anyone knows other Nollywood romcoms with good chemistry between the leads (preferably on Netflix) let me know!

Isoken (2017)

Everyone in the Osayande family worries about Isoken. Although she has what appears to be a perfect life - beautiful, successful and surrounded by great family and friends - Isoken is still unmarried at 34 which, in a culture obsessed with marriage, is serious cause for concern. Things come to a head at her youngest sister's wedding when her overbearing mother thrusts her into an orchestrated matchmaking with the ultimate Edo man, Osaze. Osaze is handsome, successful and from a good family, making him the perfect Nigerian husband material. But in an unexpected turn of events, Isoken meets Kevin who she finds herself falling in love with and he just might be what she truly wants in a partner. The only problem is, not only is he not an Edo man, he is Oyinbo (Caucasian). Isoken is a romantic dramedy that explores cultural expectations, racial stereotypes and the bonds that unite families in a touching, dramatic and comedic way.

The "horror" and pressure that comes with being a 34-year-old single woman in Nigeria is aptly depicted in Jade Osiberu's "Isoken".
