We take immense pride in celebrating not just our products but also our incredible customers; individuals who continue to inspire us with their creativity, excellence and commitment to showcasing the best of Nigeria to the world.
One such remarkable customer is Lilian Olubi, a visionary producer and entrepreneur, who has brought to life one of 2025’s most anticipated Nigerian films — “Osamede”, a gripping epic historical drama that pays tribute to the rich heritage and resilience of the Benin Kingdom.
About the Film
Osamede tells a deeply emotional story set during the 1897 invasion of the Benin Kingdom by the British Empire — a pivotal moment in Nigerian history. Adapted from the musical play Osamede: For Kingdom and Country, the film explores the courage, loyalty and sacrifices of a people determined to defend their land and culture against foreign invasion.
The film stars a stellar Nigerian cast including Ivie Okujaye Egboh, Lexan Aisosa Peters, William Benson, Tosin Adeyemi, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, and Alexander Bud and is directed by the renowned James Omokwe, the creative mind behind popular television epics such as Ajoche and Riona.
With breathtaking cinematography, powerful performances and a strong sense of cultural authenticity, Osamede stands as a cinematic masterpiece, one that celebrates history while spotlighting Nigeria’s growing global influence in film and storytelling.
Lilian Olubi: A Visionary in Film and Beyond
At the heart of Osamede is Lilian Olubi, whose passion for excellence mirrors the same dedication we uphold at Wangaraufoods. Known for her leadership and innovation, Lilian continues to inspire through her ability to merge business acumen with creative expression.
