The wait is finally over for fans of heartfelt Nigerian cinema. This Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2026, the acclaimed romantic drama Loving Rona has officially arrived on the streaming platform Spixie. For those who missed its initial theatrical run or simply want to relive the magic of an unlikely romance, there is no better time than today to dive into this modern Nollywood classic.
Directed by the talented Luke Aire Oyovbaire and penned by Becky Ngoma, Loving Rona offers a refreshing departure from traditional tropes. It introduces us to Rona Adams, portrayed by the brilliant Meg Otanwa. Rona is the quintessential "woman who has it all" wealth, status, and a thriving business. However, her world is upended when her engagement to her fiancé, Alex, falls apart. Watching him move on with Jackie, a woman he believes to be a simple masseuse, Rona finds herself consumed by the desire to reclaim what she lost.
What follows is a delightfully complex scheme of sabotage and social maneuvering. Rona enlists her garden boy, Benny, played with effortless charm by Gideon Okeke to play a part in a high-stakes game of jealousy. The mission is clear, break up Alex and Jackie so Rona can slide back into her former life. But as the plot thickens, the film beautifully explores the blurred lines between social classes and the undeniable truth that the heart rarely obeys a business plan.
The chemistry between Otanwa and Okeke is the true engine of the film. Their performances elevate the story from a simple romantic comedy to a poignant drama about vulnerability and self-discovery. The supporting cast further enriches the narrative, featuring Fiona Garba as the mysterious Jackie, and Jeff (Bankz) Nweke, whose presence adds a layer of contemporary flair that fans of 2019’s BBNaija will thoroughly enjoy. With Erica Bale Opia and Ummi Baba Ahmed providing strong supporting performances, the film feels like a complete, lived-in world.
Produced by Ejiofor Chukwuemeka Uju and executive produced by Onucheyo Nasir, the film’s arrival on Spixie marks a significant moment for digital distribution in Nigeria. It allows premium storytelling to reach a global audience at an accessible price point. Whether you are spending the evening with a partner or enjoying a solo "Galentine’s" night, Loving Rona is the perfect cinematic companion.
The film is now accessible to viewers across the globe. Nigerian audiences can enjoy this captivating story for just ₦2,000, while the international audience can stream it for $2.99. It is a small price to pay for a film that reminds us that sometimes, the person we are meant to be with isn't the one we are chasing, but the one who has been standing right in front of us all along.
Log on to Spixie today and witness the transformation of a calculated scheme into a genuine, life-changing love.
