Watch The Best African Comedy Movies

By Cecile Ingram


There are a lot of very funny African comedy movies. No Surrender is about an ex-soldier who will go to any lengths in order to stop misdemeanours. However, because most people are scared of him, he gets away with his own bad conduct. After his younger brother dies, he marries the widow against her will. Then he tries to make her into a good wife. The film stars Nkem Owoh.

Return Of Aku and Popo Sisters features Osita Iheme and Chindu Ekedieze. It centers on Erente who protects himself and his fellow villagers using special powers. Aki and Popo are looking to create a better relationship with him but they're not sure how without starting trouble. There is a sequel to this film too.

Suicide Bombers is a very popular film starring Charles Awurum, Charles Inojia and Victor Osuagwu. It shows how far people will go to get away from poverty. A sequel was made, using the same actors and then there was a related film titled Lost Bomb. Many people believe them to be among the finest comedies ever produced in Africa.

Crime Crisis centers on Ishmael, who believes that Nigeria must change or the country will not grow stronger. Instead of creating change though, he ends up arguing constantly with passengers who have left garbage in the street. Eventually he is put in jail because he gets into fights with police officers who he believes are doing a bad job. It's lead characters are played by Charles Awurum and John Okafor.

Holy Life centers on Akiki, who is very fussy when it comes to girls. He constantly rejects the ones who are offered to him. He exploits the tradition of the first born getting married before his younger siblings by extorting money from his brother. Akiki tells him he's going to use it for a wedding. Eventually, the younger brother gets married but Akiki cannot accept it and a family feud begins.

Nkem Owoh stars in Old Fools. It's about a family who refuse to compromise with each other and so trouble begins. However, certain secrets are revealed which means one group gains dominance over the other. It has been advertised as a must see movie. There is a sequel to it too.

Popo and Aki are the main characters in Village Rascals. They constantly get into trouble but find themselves out of their depth when they steal a mask and sell it to some tourists. They have a good time because of the money but trouble starts for the tourists. It turns out that the mask has been protecting the village for many centuries and now the gods want revenge.

Another favorite of the African comedy movies is Shattered Mirror. This is about a man who receives foul mouthed abuse from his father because he is unemployed. Eventually, poverty and a lack of prospects push him into a deep depression. As a result, he joins a secret cult. In the end, his father's dream becomes a reality but at a far higher price than he ever imagined.
