Overview
Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji and his wife, Adebimpe, expressed surprise at their big wins at the AMVCA 2025, where their movie “Lisabi: The Uprising” won three awards yesterday.
It was reported that “Lisabi: The Uprising” won three of its 10 nominations at the 2025 AMVCA. The movie was nominated in ten categories but won in three: the Best Indigenous Language (West Africa), Best Art Direction, and Best Make Up.
Lisabi the Uprising, directed by Niyi Akinmolayan, is a historical epic about Lisabi and the rise of the Egba people against the Oyo Empire. Although it is a biopic, it explores the themes of oppression, unity, hard work, and love. The film is loosely based on the historic 18th-century Lisabi Rebellion of Abeokuta.
The film was written by Lateef Adedimeji and Adebayo Tijani
