Osuofia in London is a 2003 Nigerian comedy film produced and directed by Kingsley Ogoro, starring Nkem Owoh. The film is arguably one of the highest selling Nollywood films in history.[1] It was followed by 2004 sequel titled Osuofia in London 2.
Osuofia (played by Nkem Owoh) is a foolish villager[2] living in Nigeria, who received word of his brother's demise, Donatus (played by Francis Odega) in London. However, in his will, Donatus has left Osuofia with his huge estate as the sole beneficiary. Osuofia made his way to London only to find out that his late brother's English fiancée, Samantha (played by Mara Derwent) is not quite sure herself, about the Nigerian's tradition (i.e., Osuofia being a benefactor of his brother's properties).[3] [4] Cultural misunderstandings resulted in a comedy of errors.
