Nancy Isime, Olumide Oworu and Nasboi Shine in Inkblot’s ‘Saving Onome’: Coming To Cinemas on April 5th

“Saving Onome,” the highly anticipated thriller from the stables of Inkblot Productions, directed by Dimeji Ajibola and starring Nancy Isime and Olumide Oworu, will arrive in cinemas nationwide on April 5, 2024.

Inkblot, the creative force behind fan-favourite hits like ‘Far from Home’ and ‘A Weekend To Forget’, is set to grace the box office with its first theatrical release of 2024. According to industry feelers, Saving Onome is a storytelling tour de force poised to captivate cinema audiences nationwide. With a screenplay from exciting newcomer Janobest Issac, the movie was directed by the visionary Dimeji Ajibola and produced by Inkblot co-founders Chinaza Onuzo and Zulumoke Oyibo.

Shot in Lagos, Saving Onome is uniquely Nigerian. It tells the story of a working-class couple who are forced to do whatever it takes when their daughter requires urgent life-saving medical attention. This relatable thriller combines elements of family, desperation, greed and betrayal to achieve a thoroughly entertaining cinematic experience.

From extraordinary performances by our lead couple Nancy Isime and Olumide Oworu to excellent displays from the supporting cast, including veterans Keppy Ekpeyong, Femi Jacobs, Ashionye Michelle Raccah, acclaimed actors Mary Lazarus, Kelechi Udegbe and famous comedians and skit makers Nasboi and Nosa Rex, Saving Onome continues Inkblot’s tradition of showcasing the best of Nollywood acting talent on the biggest stage.

For Dimeji Ajibola, the celebrated director of Shanty Town, this is his first outing with the Inkblot powerhouse. “I am extremely proud of Saving Onome because it was an ambitious story that allowed me to explore strong themes of family and love whilst working in the thriller vein I am known for,” says Ajibola. “The cast and crew gave it their all, and I am grateful to Inkblot Productions for this opportunity. With this film, we did something special. I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy our beautiful film.”

“Saving Onome showcases Inkblot’s continued desire to bring thrilling, relatable films to our Nigerian audience. We believe strongly in telling stories that resonate widely,” said Chinaza Onuzo, who remains optimistic that quality Nigerian films with universal appeal will continue to find a local and global audience.

“Saving Onome stands out as one of our more ambitious projects. We’re so grateful to the director and the amazing cast and crew for bringing this story to life. It’s a classic story with a fresh African perspective, reflecting today’s blurred lines between heroes and villains and the choices that define them. We’re looking forward to the spirited debates following its release in cinemas nationwide from April 5th 2023,” Onuzo added.

Money Conversations Don’t Have to Be Awkward – goPlay Cards Are Changing the Narrative

Spending time with my friends on a night out is amazing, full of fun, and pure cruise because we get to gist and catch up. But the most interesting thing about our hangouts is that we rotate picking up the bill. Don’t get me wrong o, we’re considerate of each other’s pockets and there’s no form of gaslighting. We just respect each other’s finances, so whenever it’s time to link up, we take turns to settle the tab, and whoever is meant to will choose a hot spot or activity of their choice.

It’s pretty wholesome but it’s also a result of the fact that our eyes have seen shege, and being a young adult in Nigeria requires certain survival skills. Our squad consists of three guys and two girls; we all met during our NYSC days and bonded over Marvel movies and food. But now, we have jobs that pay fairly well but not enough to fund the exciting lifestyles we want. So we had to look for ways to have each other’s backs, which is how our rotation culture started. However, something that’s always been almost non-existent in our clique is deep conversations about funds, and recently, it surfaced through a funny experience.

It was one of our usual rendezvous, the girls were busy so it was just the guys around. We went to a restaurant in Ikoyi to chill until these fine babes walked in and we lost focus. After silly deliberations, we approached them, introduced ourselves, and asked if we could buy them cocktails. These baddies probably thought we had some mad money, and ordered drinks and expensive meals off the menu. The bill came, and I noticed the uncomfortable look on my guy’s face as it was his turn to pick up the tab. It was 100k, and he came with a 45k budget. To cut the story short, we split the bill to avoid embarrassment.

One thing this experience taught me is that, for close friends, we didn’t talk enough about our personal finances. Of course, we laughed off the drama and told it to the girls, who dragged us further. However, one of them mentioned that money is not particularly an easy subject and prompted us to try goPlay cards, a newly introduced set of fun game cards she got from her bank, gomoney. I was more than open to it, since I had checked them out online and observed how the brand demonstrates a deep understanding of cultivating strong financial habits among youngsters. On checking out the cards, we discovered that it’s a fun way to gain insights into factors that could influence money habits and patterns. Even more interesting, gomoney’s goPlay cards can be played almost anywhere – birthday parties, beach or pool hangouts, friends meet-ups, podcast sessions, whatever event has people in it.

At the next hangout, we visited a lounge, had some drinks, and answered the juicy questions from the goPlay cards. It was so natural and we had a lot of banter that left us feeling like we now knew each other better. I have even gone ahead to place a request for mine. By the way, the gomoney app is available on the App Store and Google Play Store.
It’s important to stay open-minded about money conversations with friends, and being proactive starts with creating safe and fun spaces to keep everyone’s money game strong and healthy.
