Slowly, Netflix is changing the narrative of how movies are being seen around the globe, and, of course, Nollywood Movies are not left out. In this article, see the top 10 Nollywood latest movies on Netflix in 2021.
1. Alter Ego
Nollywood Movie Alter Ego is about a woman, Ada Igwe (played by Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde) — a respected and feared human rights lawyer who is a child rights activist and an advocate for women. Ada is bent on prosecuting sex offenders, especially pedophiles, but she has a flip side — a passion for carnal pleasures, which is her toughest battle and alter ego.
The film, which was first produced in 2017, stars Nollywood veterans such as Omotola Jalade, Wale Ojo, Jide Kosoko, and Tinsel’s Kunle Remi. Ada Igwe doesn’t only rely on the law to exert its cause on offenders, as she also uses unorthodox methods to make sure those she finds guilty of child molestation and sex offenses pay for their crimes.
Alter Ego starts streaming on Netflix on Saturday, 13 November 2021.
