TO ADAEGO WITH LOVE (2026) – OFFICIAL TRAILER | UPREVIEWS

Set in 1975, in the fragile aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War, To Adaego with Love is a moving period romantic drama that tells a forbidden love story shaped by history, identity, and healing.

When Adaego (Chisom Agoawuike), a devoted schoolteacher, falls in love with Major Balarabe Alkali (Adam Garba), a soldier from a different ethnic background, their bond is tested by tradition, family loyalty, and a nation still struggling to reconcile its past. Choosing love in a divided world comes at a powerful cost.
