Nneka the pretty serpent:
Nneka the pretty serpent is one of the films that rocked air waves back in the day. It was about a witch girl that had the power to lure men into falling in love with her. She succeeded a number of times, trapping men to cherish and adore her. Her secret was revealed when she charmed her way into the life of a married man that completely fell for her jazz. However, the man had a prayerful wife and he was delivered from the grip of the serpent.

Igodo:
This is arguably one of the best movies ever made in Nigeria, based on its plot and location. It told the story of an Odyssey to save a village from evil which was caused as a result of the murder of the son of Amadioha, the god of thunder and lightning. The curse placed on the land made young men for ten generations to die inexplicably.

Glamour girls:
Before Blackberry babes and the likes, there was Glamour girls which was the first of its kind in Nigeria, as it told the story of money, sex, power and fame. It was unique for its time because it didn’t jump off the juju and rituals bandwagon that was so popular then.

Living in bondage:
It is totally impossible to be a Nollywood fan without knowing this 1992 movie. It centers on a man who joins a secret cult, kills his wife in a ritual sacrifice, gains enormous wealth as a reward, and afterwards haunted by his late wife’s ghost.

Issakaba was more than a movie, it was a movement. The story was based on local heroes that fought for the community. They also protected the citizens of the village from thieves, murderers and witches. They were the “supermen.” Although they were really a cult group and diabolical, they used their powers for good.
