Also made in 2021 and streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Progressive Tailor's Club is another film to remember Oniga with. Playing alongside other cast members like Uzor Arukwe, Jaiye Kuti and Femi Adebayo, Oniga shines in this film with her distinctive character and range.

My Village People is a supernatural thriller movie made in 2021. Directed by Niyi Akinmolayan, Oniga performance in this film is a personal favorite. The subtlety she brings to the screens is amazing to watch and will be missed greatly.

Chief Daddy is not an exception. While the storytelling of the movie might not be great, Rachel Oniga's acting is superb!
