Meet the highest-grossing writers of Nollywood

Behind every great movie is a great script, and behind every script is a writer whose pen (or keyboard) shaped the story we can’t stop talking about. 

When we think of Nollywood’s biggest films, the ones that set box office records, dominate streaming platforms, and have fans quoting lines for years; it’s easy to focus on the stars on screen or the directors in the spotlight. 

FilmOne took to its Instagram to share the list of the highest-grossing writers based on the income generated by these movies.

“Cheers to a groundbreaking year for Nollywood writers These writers didn’t just script movies, they penned history, broke records and left us all in awe. We celebrate their incredible talent and contributions to the industry. Stay updated as we release the Official Box Office Year Book soon!” the post said.
