The strategic collaboration aims to elevate Nigerian storytelling on a global scale through exclusive digital content and high-profile premiere coverage.
Nollywood powerhouse and acclaimed filmmaker Funke Akindele has joined forces with Meta-owned Facebook in a major partnership designed to expand the international footprint of her upcoming feature film, The Four: No One Fights Alone.
Akindele announced the landmark collaboration across her social media channels, framing the partnership as a pivotal move to engage audiences well beyond traditional cinema distribution.
“We’re taking THE FOUR to the world, and Facebook is coming with us,” Akindele shared. “The love you’ve shown me and my stories over the years has brought us this far. Now, let’s make this next chapter one to remember!”
Under the arrangement, Facebook will serve as an official content hub for the film’s promotional rollout. Audiences can expect exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, pre-production highlights, and real-time coverage from both the London world premiere and the Lagos premiere. Updates will be distributed across Akindele’s primary Facebook channels: FUNKE AKINDELE, OFFICIAL FUNKE AKINDELE, and FAANTV.
The partnership underscores Meta’s broader commitment to supporting African creative talent. Oluwasola Obagbemi, Meta’s Head of Communications for Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighted how the collaboration demonstrates Facebook’s role in enabling creators to cultivate global communities, amplify original storytelling, and unlock monetization opportunities on the platform.
By uniting content creators, industry figures, and international audiences, the initiative seeks to showcase the vibrant momentum of modern Nollywood both locally and throughout the diaspora.
The Four: No One Fights Alone is scheduled for nationwide theatrical release on December 11, 2026.
