Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele announced a partnership with Facebook to promote her upcoming movie, ‘The Four: No One Fights Alone’. The collaboration is intended to expand the film's reach through exclusive content such as behind the scenes footage and production updates.

Meta expanded the scope of the collaboration to support the film’s world premiere in London and its homecoming premiere in Lagos. The partnership aims to celebrate Nigerian storytelling and demonstrate how creators utilize Facebook to reach global audiences and build communities, specifically spotlighting creators in Nigeria and the diaspora.

In addition to the Meta collaboration, Akindele has gained social media attention for supporting emerging entrepreneurs. During the FinTribe Finance Fair 2026 in Lagos, she publicly endorsed a young jewelry entrepreneur by wearing the creator's handmade, locally sourced earrings on stage.

Akindele continues to focus on bringing Nollywood to a global audience through productions that highlight African experiences. Her previous works include ‘A Tribe Called Judah’, which was the first Nollywood movie to earn 1 billion naira, and ‘Behind the Scenes’, which earned over 2 billion naira in 2025.

For her upcoming production, ‘The Four: No One Fights Alone’, Akindele has set a box-office revenue target of N5bn. The film features an ensemble cast including Bisola Aiyeola, Chioma Akpotha, Waje, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Timini Egbuson, Lateef Adedimeji, and Ali Nuhu. The London premiere at ODEON Luxe Leicester Square is scheduled for November 29 and has already sold out, marking the first time a Nollywood title will premiere at this venue. Following the London event, the film will be available in UK cinemas starting December 4, with a Nigerian cinema release set for December 11. Akindele defended her aggressive marketing strategies as a necessity for global expansion.
