Nollywood actress and producer Toyin Abraham has recorded another major milestone in Nigerian cinema as her latest film, OverSabi Aunty, officially crossed the ₦1 billion mark at the box office, cementing its place among the highest grossing Nigerian films of all time.
According to figures released by her management team, the movie has generated ₦1,017,201,950 in cinema revenue, making it the fourth highest grossing Nollywood film ever to reach the billion naira benchmark. The achievement further strengthens Toyin Abraham’s reputation as one of the most bankable producers in the industry.

OverSabi Aunty, which has enjoyed weeks of strong cinema attendance nationwide, continues to draw audiences, with ticket sales still ongoing across several locations in Nigeria.
Toyin Abraham’s journey to the billion naira club reflects years of steady growth rather than overnight success. She began her career in the Yoruba film sector before making a deliberate move into mainstream Nollywood, a transition that proved pivotal.
Her first major cinema production, Alakada Reloaded, marked her entry into box office competition and closed with about ₦75 million, a strong debut at the time. She later raised the bar with Alakada Bad and Boujee, which crossed ₦500 million, positioning her among Nigeria’s top earning female producers.

With OverSabi Aunty surpassing ₦1 billion, Abraham has now doubled her previous record, confirming her ability to consistently scale commercial success while maintaining audience appeal.
Industry observers say the performance reflects not just star power but a growing understanding of audience taste, marketing strategy, and theatrical distribution.
The success of OverSabi Aunty has been credited to a strong ensemble cast and a production team that delivered a story audiences connected with. The film’s blend of humor, relatable characters, and social commentary resonated with viewers across different age groups.
Cinema operators have reported repeat viewings and strong word of mouth, factors that contributed significantly to the film’s sustained earnings.
Beyond the creative effort, the movie’s marketing campaign also played a role, with consistent promotions across digital platforms and physical cinema activations.

A major part of the story behind OverSabi Aunty’s success is the role played by Toyin Abraham’s fan base, popularly known as Toyin Titans. Widely regarded as one of the most organized and influential fan groups in Nigerian entertainment, the Titans mobilized heavily in support of the film from its release.
Fans coordinated cinema visits, promoted ticket sales online, and sustained conversations around the movie weeks after its premiere. Their collective effort helped drive momentum that translated into box office figures.
In addition to the Titans, general movie lovers across the country contributed to the milestone, as audiences continued to show up in cinemas long after opening weekend.
OverSabi Aunty’s billion naira achievement adds to a growing list of Nigerian films proving that local cinema can compete commercially when properly executed. It also reinforces the increasing role of female producers in shaping Nollywood’s box office narrative.
The film remains in cinemas nationwide, with distributors encouraging moviegoers to continue supporting Nigerian productions on the big screen.
As Toyin Abraham celebrates the milestone, attention is already turning to what her next project might deliver in 2026, following a run that has placed her firmly among Nollywood’s elite earners.
