Nollywood Stars Kiekie, Wunmi Toriola, Bisola Aiyeola, Bolaji Ogunmola Tease Isbae U Interview
Nigerian comedian and filmmaker Isbae U has stirred excitement online after dropping a teaser for his upcoming Curiosity Made Me Ask episode featuring four of Nollywood’s most talked-about women — Kiekie, Wunmi Toriola, Bisola Aiyeola, and Bolaji Ogunmola.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 30-second clip, released on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, has already attracted more than 120,000 views within hours of posting. It shows the actresses — who also serve as executive producers of the upcoming 2025 heist film Gingerrr — discussing their rise in Nigeria’s film industry, their early careers, and the evolving role of women in entertainment.
The teaser hints at a lively and thought-provoking discussion. Kiekie, known for her comedic flair and bold personality, shares her transition from television presenting and fashion to acting and producing. Wunmi Toriola, one of the Yoruba film industry’s most recognized faces, talks about balancing motherhood with a demanding acting career. Bisola Aiyeola, who gained fame through Big Brother Naija, reflects on her shift from reality TV to award-winning performances. Bolaji Ogunmola adds insight on body image and breaking stereotypes in Nollywood.
“Women are no longer just faces on screen — we’re decision-makers now,” Aiyeola says in the teaser, echoing the growing sentiment of female empowerment in the industry. The clip cuts between laughter, candid confessions, and sharp observations about the challenges women face in a male-dominated creative space.
The full episode is set to premiere at 6 p.m. on Isbae U’s YouTube channel, where his Curiosity Made Me Ask series has become known for its blend of humor, vulnerability, and celebrity insight. Previous episodes have featured top entertainers like Don Jazzy, Mr Macaroni, and Bimbo Ademoye, drawing millions of views.
Fans flooded social media with reactions following the teaser’s release, expressing anticipation for what they expect to be one of the show’s most engaging episodes yet. “This lineup is crazy — four powerful women, one funny host. I can’t wait to see the chaos,” one X user wrote. Another added, “These women represent everything Nollywood is becoming — smart, funny, and unstoppable.”
The upcoming Gingerrr film, which brought the four actresses together, is already gaining buzz as one of the most anticipated Nigerian releases of 2025. Described as a stylish heist comedy, the movie follows a group of women who team up for an elaborate money heist gone wrong. It aims to combine action, comedy, and commentary on gender roles — themes reflected in the actresses’ conversation with Isbae U.
Industry analysts say the collaboration between the Gingerrr stars and Isbae U marks a continued blending of Nigeria’s traditional Nollywood scene with the new wave of digital creators driving audience engagement online. “It’s a sign of how entertainment in Nigeria is evolving,” said Lagos-based critic Temi Adetayo. “Actors, producers, and skit makers are no longer in separate worlds — they’re building one ecosystem that reaches millions.”
As Curiosity Made Me Ask continues to highlight major figures in African entertainment, this episode could offer rare behind-the-scenes perspectives from four women shaping the next phase of Nollywood storytelling.
The full episode drops at 6 p.m. local time, and if the teaser’s reaction is any indication, viewers are in for a mix of laughter, inspiration, and bold truths about success and sisterhood in Nigeria’s thriving film industry.
