"Love in Every Word" A Feel-Good Nollywood Vibe with a Scene-Stealing Bestie
So I just finished watching Love in Every Word, and let me just say "it’s one of those movies that feels like warm jollof on a rainy day. Cozy, familiar, but not without a little spice".
The story follows Chioma (played by Bam Bam), this strong, independent Lagos babe who’s been through the emotional wringer. She heads back home to Anambra for some family time, only to be swept into this whirlwind “rich man wants me” kind of romance with Obiora (Uzor Arukwe), your typical Nollywood sweet talker with money, manners, and mad persistence.
Now, about Chioma’s friend, can we talk about her?! Honestly, she’s the real MVP of this movie.
She’s that one friend who always tells you the truth, whether it hurts or not. She had me cracking up with her savage one-liners and dramatic facial expressions. But more than that, she brought balance to Chioma’s emotional mess. Like, whenever Chioma was spiraling (which was often), her friend would either drop hilarious advice or hit her with deep, no-nonsense wisdom. It was refreshing to see that kind of loyal, protective energy without it turning toxic or petty.
Some of my fave moments were just Chioma and her friend chatting on the couch, gossiping, crying, or planning clapbacks. She felt real, like someone we all have (or wish we had) in our lives. Honestly, the movie would’ve been kind of flat without her.
As for the romance? It’s sweet, a little unrealistic, but very enjoyable. There’s lots of big romantic gestures (maybe too big at times), and some scenes felt straight out of a fantasy. But hey, it’s Nollywood, we love a little drama and a lot of extra.
Final thoughts: Watch Love in Every Word for the vibes, the love story, and definitely for Chioma’s hilarious, loyal, ride-or-die best friend. She’s the real heart of the film.

Love in every word is indeed a typical Nollywood movie with predictable and yet consistent characters
