The first quarter of the year ended on a good note with many cinema releases. With the record set by Stephanie Okereke’s “ Through the Glass” and Funke Akindele’s “Return of Jenifa” few years ago when they hit the cinemas, Nollywood films have continued to be top on the chart.
It not surprising however that the under-listed films which premiered during the 1st quarter of the year were nothing less of block-bluster films.
