Award-winning actress, producer, and cultural advocate Bikiya Graham-Douglas continues to champion powerful, women-led stories with her latest project, Remi x Nneoma. Produced by Bikiya Graham-Douglas, with Solate Ovundah-Akarolo of Five Two Media Productions serving as Executive Producer, the highly anticipated drama brings together some of Nollywood’s finest talents in an ensemble cast that balances industry icons and fresh voices.
The film features celebrated actresses Liz Benson, Eucharia Anunobi, Tina Mba, Bisola Aiyeola, Uche Montana, and Martha Ehinome, alongside powerhouse male actors Kunle Coker, Kelechi Udegbe, Ifeanyi Kalu, Charles Born, Patrick Dante, Buchi Franklin, Soibifaa Dokubo, and Ovunda Ihunwo.
Bikiya not only co-produced the project but also stars in it, reinforcing her reputation as one of Nollywood’s most versatile and dynamic creatives. The production was led by a strong creative team, including Executive Producer Solate Ovundah-Akarolo, Director Lindsey Efejuku, and Writers Adelarin Awotedu and Priye Diri.
Remi x Nneoma recently made headlines when Nile Entertainment acquired its global rights, signaling the film’s potential to resonate with audiences far beyond Africa. This milestone follows Bikiya’s remarkable success with For Amina, a deeply moving, female-centered film where she won Best Actress at the Stockholm City Film Festival and the Audience Choice Award at Nollywood Week Film Festival in Paris earlier this year. Her consistent ability to tell impactful, women-driven stories has set her apart as a visionary voice in Nollywood.
But for Bikiya, her storytelling extends beyond gender representation. She is launching her latest projects with a bold focus on inclusive, intentional narratives that amplify minority tribes and cross-cultural experiences. In For Amina, she told the story of a Hausa man and a Kalabari woman, featuring a child fluent in both languages and traditions. With Remi x Nneoma, she explores the intersection of love and culture between the Yoruba and Ikwerre tribes. Through careful casting, bilingual storytelling, and deep cultural authenticity, Bikiya gives voices often overlooked the space to be seen and heard, creating narratives that celebrate Nigeria’s diversity, heritage, and the richness of human connection.
“I come from a minority tribe in Nigeria, and that has only strengthened my resolve to honor our cultures and identities. The more I discover about tribes like mine, the more I am compelled to tell their stories. Through my work, the voices of Ijaw, Nupe, Nok, Ogoni, Fulfulde, Igala and many others will rise, woven into narratives that celebrate heritage, preserve tradition, and shine a light on the richness of Nigeria’s diverse tapestry.” — Bikiya Graham-Douglas
With a rich blend of industry veterans and rising stars, male and female alike; Remi x Nneoma is set to raise the bar for Nollywood dramas and continue Bikiya’s legacy of excellence, cultural advocacy, and innovation.
