Tobi Makinde Steps Behind the Camera Again for His New Movie “No One Has To Know”

Tobi Makinde is back in the spotlight, not just as the actor many Nigerians fondly remember as “Timini” from Jenifa’s Diary, but as a filmmaker and producer gearing up for another major project. His latest work, No One Has To Know, is already shaping up to be one of Nollywood’s most anticipated titles, and fans are eager to see what fresh story he’s about to tell.

The new film, which he produces, stars Deyemi Okanlawon and Alvin Abayomi, two actors known for their strong screen presence and depth. While Tobi is keeping plot details tightly sealed for now, the title alone hints at secrets, betrayal, and the kind of emotional tension Nollywood audiences love. More cast members are expected to be unveiled soon, but one thing is clear: Tobi is assembling a talented lineup for what looks like a gripping and mature drama.

He co-directed Battle on Buka Street, which became one of the highest-grossing Nollywood films ever, and has been credited for producing a number of successful titles under his banner.

Away from movie sets, Tobi also runs The Tobi Makinde Show, a platform where he explores storytelling from different angles, giving audiences a mix of entertainment, inspiration, and humor. His work reflects a growing interest in creating stories that balance commercial appeal with genuine emotion.

Though no release date or production details have been made public yet, No One Has To Know has already sparked curiosity.
