Nigerian short films keep getting better and to be honest, the bar continues to go higher with every new premiere.

As expected, ‘Bariga Sugar’ does not fall short of the standard already set by films like Rahman as it brings back nostalgia referencing 90’s soft drink and everyone’s favourite game, Suwe – we still miss Gold Spot sha.

Directed by Ifeoma Chukwuogo, Bariga Sugar, set in a 90’s brothel, tells the touching story of an unlikely friendship between Ese and Jamil, whose mothers work for Madam Sugar -played by the immensely talented Tina Mba.

While we anticipate more amazing work from Ifeoma, watch the moving film below:
