Pulse Movies asked the actress to share her top five favourite Nollywood movies of the last 10 years. It wasn't an easy task for Oboli, who has seen over five great movies in the last 10 years.

2. "93 Days"

"I saw it at Toronto International Film Festival last year and we were just screaming. We saw it on the last day that it showed and it was mostly white people in the hall. They knew there were Nigerians in the hall.

"Because first of all, we were so noisy. We kept shouting. It was such a beautiful film. I really really really liked "93 Days."

"It was a good film," she said about the historical drama.
