Every Batman needs a Robin, every alte babe needs a pair of baggy jeans, and every good on-screen pairing needs great chemistry. Especially if we鈥檙e to believe one of them raised the other like a Nigerian mother would her daughter.
And like jollof rice is better than fried rice, we think these Nollywood mother-daughter pairings are more iconic than others.
Sola Sobowale and Adesua Etomi in King of Boys 1 and Wedding Party 1 & 2
Adesua and Sola share such great chemistry on screen, it鈥檚 no surprise they鈥檝e played mother and daughter three times. From Wedding Party 1 and 2, where Sola played the doting mother who would move hell and highwater to ensure her daughter鈥檚 life went smoothly鈥
鈥o becoming partners in crime in King of Boys 1. Inject it into our veins.
Hopefully, they鈥檒l share the screen again soon.
Shaffy Bello and Nengi Adoki in The Men鈥檚 Club
These two look good AF together. You know those families where everyone looks like they鈥檝e just walked out of a magazine? Yeah, that鈥檚 what these two look like on the show. You can almost believe they have the same blood flowing through their veins from the way they change it for idiots to their taste in taken/married men. We鈥檙e here for all of it.
Ngozi Nwosu and Sharon Ooja in Skinny Girl in Transit
Ngozi Nwosu鈥檚 character has two daughters, but there鈥檚 just something about her relationship with Sharon鈥檚 character. They鈥檙e always at each other鈥檚 throats, yet it鈥檚 glaringly obvious that Sharon is the last born of the house, and if you let her, she鈥檒l crawl back into her mother鈥檚 womb. It鈥檚 the sweetest thing ever.
Stella Damasus and Bimbo Ademoye in Gone
Honestly, their relationship was bittersweet. Something about the sadness and anger in their characters鈥 eyes, when they saw the man who鈥檇 abandoned them for years. You can tell their shared experiences made them really close, and that鈥檚 heartwarming to see.
Ufuoma McDermott and Aramide Okenegbero in My Mum and I
If 鈥渦s against the world鈥 had a physical representation, it鈥檇 be these two. They had to restructure their relationship after Ufuoma left Aramide鈥檚 father. And even though she wouldn鈥檛 stop scheming for her parents to return to each other, we can clearly see they have each other鈥檚 backs.
Kate Henshaw and Genoveva Umeh in Blood Sisters
Toxic parent-child relationships matter too. Something about Kate and Genoveva鈥檚 characters playing mother and daughter but still being each other鈥檚 biggest opps gave us major endorphins.
Abiola Segun-Williams and Tomi Odunsi in Tinsel
After living with her grandmother all her life, Tomi鈥檚 character returned to her mother鈥檚 house, and we got to watch their relationship grow. From practical strangers to becoming thick as thieves, these two brought joyful chaos to our screens.
