Looking for a good Nigerian movie to watch this August? UncutXtra has put together eight Nigerian YouTube movies currently getting attention from viewers. The list includes recent releases that have been attracting views and conversations online.
A few of the movies were released in the final days of July, but they have continued to gain attention throughout August. From romance and family drama to stories with unexpected twists, these are eight Nigerian YouTube movies worth adding to your watchlist this month.
AGEMO Opens Our August Watchlist With Real Suspense
AGEMO takes the top spot, and honestly, it deserves it. The film comes from Alade Rayvo Studios, a growing Nollywood outfit built on the belief that African stories can stand shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood and Netflix. AGEMO dropped on 14 August 2026 and has already pulled 200,000 views and 2,700 likes in three days. The story follows a quiet community shaken by a terrifying, unexplained force. An elderly woman and her daughter get blamed for a string of disturbing attacks, and they are arrested and confronted right away. Still, both women insist they are innocent, and that is where the real mystery begins. As the film unfolds, pain, revenge, and supernatural power collide in ways nobody sees coming. AGEMO is directed by Muhydeen S. Ayinde, the same creative mind behind classic Yoruba comedy hits from years back, so the storytelling pedigree runs deep. The cast brings real heart to the screen, led by Abeni Agbon, Victoria Adeboye, Bimbo Afolayan, Taiwo Ibikunle, Gaji, Omo Ara, Omobolanle Adigun, Tinuolaji Akinyanju, Tosin Opajobi, and Fisayomi Abebi. If you love a slow-burn mystery that keeps its biggest secret until the final scene, AGEMO is where your August watchlist should start.
Sibe Keeps The Comedy And Twists Coming
Bimbo Ademoye brought her viral comedy character to life this summer, and Sibe has not slowed down since. The story follows a woman who loses twenty-one jobs in a row and then fails a police force application. Right after that disappointment, she starts seeing the ghost of a murder victim. That strange encounter drags her into a dangerous criminal network she never saw coming. Sibe stars Bimbo Ademoye alongside Uche Montana, Uzor Arukwe, Deyemi Okanlawon, and Afeez Oyetoro (Saka). The film mixes fast comedic timing with genuine suspense, and it continues to pull fresh views well into August.
God In Her Eyes Explores Faith And Forbidden Love
Bolaji Ogunmola leads this release as a free-spirited relationship therapist based in Lagos. She believes love should never limit personal freedom. However, her worldview crashes into that of a devoted seminarian just weeks from ordination. Their forbidden romance forces both characters to face hard questions about commitment, grief, and devotion. God In Her Eyes also stars Timini Egbuson and Tina Mba, and the film keeps climbing view counts this August.
I’m Still Here: Tests A Marriage Built On Secrets
Omoni Oboli returns with a grounded, emotional drama titled I’m Still Here. A sudden tragedy shakes a marriage that once looked secure. Damilola and Paul must confront hidden truths neither of them wanted to face. The film tests how far forgiveness can stretch once trust has already been broken. Oboli stars alongside Eso Dike, Inem King, and Patrick Doyle in a story that leans into raw, honest performances.
Kiss Me Tomorrow Turns Love Into A Bet
Another Omoni Oboli production, Kiss Me Tomorrow follows a successful restaurateur played by Bambam Olawunmi. She realizes she cannot stay single for long, so she makes a bold wager. She stakes a share of her own company on staying unattached for an entire year. Just as she starts healing from old relationships, a charming billionaire played by Chris Attoh enters the picture and refuses to back down. The film balances romance with real financial stakes, which keeps the tension alive from start to finish.
Once Upon A Village Returns With Part Two
Ruth Kadiri Films delivered one of August’s biggest surprises with Once Upon A Village. Part one landed on 6 August 2026 and has already crossed 4.2 million views and 37,000 likes, a huge number for a YouTube release. The demand was so strong that Episode 2 followed shortly after, pulling in over 2.2 million views within days. The story brings viewers home to village life, family ties, and the quiet dramas that unfold when everyone knows everyone. It stars Deza The Great, Prisma James, Fessa Ajoku, Annabel Apara, and Eronini Osinachi; and the franchise is clearly just getting started.
Second Chances Follows Three Women Rebuilding Their Lives
Second Chances premiered on Uche Montana TV and has already gathered over 4 million views within a single day. Part 2 has also dropped recently, and fans can’t contain their joy. The film follows three women, three completely different stories, and one thing they all desperately need, a second chance. It is an emotional Nollywood drama about resilience, forgiveness, and the courage to rebuild life from nothing. Second Chances stars Uche Montana, Bimbo Ademoye, and Bambam Olawunmi, bringing three fan favorites together in one story.
Love Was Not Invited Brings Comedy To A Complicated Wedding
Omoni Oboli TV closes out this list with Love Was Not Invited, a witty romantic comedy about closure and second chances. Ijeoma is forced to attend the destination wedding of David, the ex she never quite got over. There, she meets Segun, an infuriatingly charming stranger determined to get under her skin. Naturally, there is a twist. Segun happens to be the bride’s ex as well. Love Was Not Invited stars Teniola Aladese, Vine Olugu, Paul Utomi, and Rose Okeke, and it has quickly become one of mid-August’s most talked about romantic comedies.
