Omoni Oboli’s romantic drama ‘Love in Every Word’ has been reinstated on YouTube after a brief removal due to a copyright claim by Chinonso Obiora, also known as Skyberry.
The film, which had garnered over 7 million views in just three days, was taken down on Tuesday evening but restored by Wednesday morning.
The sudden takedown sparked widespread outrage and speculation across social media, but Omoni Oboli and her team have swiftly addressed the issue, restoring the movie to her YouTube channel, Omoni Oboli TV, by Wednesday morning.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on March 12, 2025, Oboli expressed gratitude to her supporters, stating, “Thank you for the love and concern. I deeply appreciate your messages. There was a little misunderstanding with our movie LOVE IN EVERY WORD. It’s been sorted out now and we are back stronger than ever! Let’s make up for the time lost.” Accompanying the post was a link to the reinstated film, signaling that the copyright dispute with Obiora had been resolved, though specific details of the resolution remain undisclosed as of this writing.
The film’s removal had left fans reeling, with many questioning the legitimacy of the copyright claim lodged by Skyberry, a Canada-based network engineer and owner of Skyberry Studios, an Abuja-based photography and videography outfit.
The movie, released on March 7, 2025, had quickly become Oboli’s most successful digital release, crossing 4.3 million views in its first 72 hours.
‘Love in Every Word’, produced and directed by Oboli and written by Mfon-Abasi Micheal Inyang, follows the journey of two souls navigating love, cultural differences, and self-discovery, with standout performances by former Big Brother Naija star Bamike ‘Bam Bam’ Olawunmi-Adenibuyan and Uzor Arukwe.
Its rapid rise in viewership underscored its resonance with audiences, making its sudden disappearance all the more jarring. The restoration of the film has reignited excitement, with Oboli urging fans to “make up for the time lost” by diving back into the story.
While neither Oboli nor Obiora has publicly detailed the nature of the copyright dispute or the terms of its resolution, the swift turnaround suggests a behind-the-scenes negotiation that prioritised getting the film back online.
Her proactive response, coupled with the unwavering support of her fanbase has ensured that ‘Love in Every Word’ remains in the spotlight.
The swift resolution and restoration of the film highlight Oboli’s resilience and the evolving landscape of Nollywood, where YouTube has become a powerful platform for filmmakers to reach global audiences.
