Omowunmi Ogunribido Shines in New Christian Film “SOLD”

In a film landscape often dominated by loud expressions and dramatic gestures, Omowunmi Ogunribodo proves that strength can be found in silence. Her latest role as Pamilerin in the much-anticipated Christian movie SOLD is a masterclass in subtle yet powerful storytelling—an emotional journey that cements her as a rising force in faith-based cinema.

SOLD, produced and directed by the visionary Opeyemi Akintunde, tells the gripping story of faith, loss, and spiritual awakening. At its core is Pamilerin, a seemingly docile wife whose quiet nature belies a strength few can perceive—until tragedy strikes. After the painful loss of her son, Pamilerin’s life is upended, igniting a personal transformation that is as spiritual as it is emotional.

In a role that could have easily been overshadowed by more expressive characters, Omowunmi Ogunribodo commands the screen with a rare blend of restraint and depth. Her silence speaks—loudly. She brings life to a woman many viewers will see themselves in: soft-spoken but strong, gentle yet deeply rooted in conviction.

What makes Omowunmi’s performance especially memorable is her ability to communicate volumes without theatrics. Her subtle expressions, body language, and piercing moments of stillness convey grief, inner turmoil, and, ultimately, a quiet redemption. Viewers are drawn into her journey, not with noise, but with authenticity.

Starring alongside gospel music legends Mike Abdul, Monique, and acclaimed actors like Lara Ayoola, Aanu Kolade, and Kayode Babalola, SOLD features a stellar ensemble. Yet, it is Ogunribodo’s nuanced portrayal of Pamilerin that leaves a lasting impression.

As the Nigerian Christian film industry continues to grow, Omowunmi Ogunribodo is undeniably one of its brightest new stars. With SOLD, she doesn’t just act—she ministers, she moves, and she makes a mark that will be hard to ignore.

Watch this space. The quiet fire has only just begun to burn.
