Behind the Scenes of Call of My Life: Uzoamaka Power on Love, Vulnerability and Being Seen

1 / 8

What began as three pages on a call-centre laptop evolved into Call of My Life, one of Nollywood’s most talked-about romances. Uzoamaka Power shares how an abandoned draft found new life with Bluhouse Studios and grew into a tender story about visibility, fear and the courage to be loved. Power talks us through Soluchi’s colourful tights, her natural hair and the intimate way she prays—choices drawn from the writer’s own life to normalise a character rarely seen on screen. She explains why being recognised after years of invisibility can feel more terrifying than heartbreaking rejection. We dive into the film’s central dilemma—Team Kalu versus Team Eli—and why the real question isn’t which man is better, but who loves you in a way that lets you stay fully yourself. Power also discusses the cut-and-restore airport scene that defends the emotional architecture behind that long-awaited kiss. Finally, she celebrates the warm, supportive parents at the film’s heart, and why showing ordinary African families can reshape how we see love and self-acceptance. This conversation reveals the work and passion behind a movie that continues to spark debates long after lights up on Lagos.
