Following the Ibibio-set Ayamma is another costume drama set, this time, in a Yoruba community; King Invincible. The first 2017Nollywood film to show in the cinemas,King Invincible gives us a refreshing and unfamiliar story that kicks off the year well.

In this small village called Ayipada-oba is a King, Aderopo, who is strong and valiant.
