Lisabi: A Legend Is Born Review, it reawakened Nollywood’s thirst for culturally-rooted epic dramas. One year later, Lisabi: A Legend Is Born arrives as its bold follow-up—an attempt to mythologize the titular hero’s rise to legend.

After surviving the events of The Uprising, he now faces a greater challenge: uniting a divided people amid rising external threats and internal political strife.
