Damilola Bamiloye Celebrates "Agbara Nla" Record Success

Damilola Bamiloye, son of veteran gospel filmmaker Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, publicly responded to the significant success of "Agbara Nla," a modern reimagining of the 1993 Christian classic produced by Mount Zion Film Productions. The film achieved over N71m in single-day earnings following its official release and generated N70m from 12,134 admissions during its preview window.

These figures marked historic milestones, with the admissions tally being the largest first-day figure recorded in Nigeria for 2026 and the N70m gross representing the highest first-day earnings for a title. The film's distributor, The Nile, described this achievement as a landmark moment for faith-based cinema in West Africa, noting that "Agbara Nla" claimed the biggest first-day gross for a Nollywood title and the largest opening for a faith-based film.

Damilola reflected on the production journey, attributing its success to divine guidance. The original "Agbara Nla" remains a culturally significant title in Nigerian Christian filmmaking.
