‘Basira in London’ is a hilarious comedy-drama that tells the story of an African woman (Eniola Badmus) who relocates to London with great expectations.

According to Eniola Badmus, “Basira In London is a super hilarious movie which took me to another level in my career because that’s the first time I am working with white people. Shutting the Odeon Cinema made me feel accepted worldwide and makes me aware of the fact that people are watching my brand.”
Basira In London is currently showing in Cinemas all over Nigeria like Lighthouse Cinema, Kada Cinemas, Filmhouse Cinemas, Genesis Cinemas, Viva Cinemas, Ozone Cinemas and Silverbird Cinemas.
