Wives on Strike 2: The Revolution is a Nigerian comedy drama film release in 2017. This movie was directed by Omoni Oboli, who is also the lead actress alongside cast members such as Kenneth Okonkwo, Julius Agwu, Uche Jombo, Chioma Akpotha, Toyin Abraham, and Sola Sobowale. The movie is a sequel to the 2016 film, Wives on Strike. The movie opens with the introduction of three different groups of women; The Market Women Association, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). These women come together and protest against the government's lack of action in curbing child marriage and domestic violence against women. The women decided to go on a strike to bring attention to their cause, and this time they are prepared to stay on strike until their demands are met.

The plot of the movie revolves around a group of market women who have been influenced by the events of the first movie to stand up for their rights. They come together under the leadership of Mama Ngozi (Omoni Oboli) to fight against child marriage in their community. They are joined by ASUU, who also go on strike for their own demands. Then, the NURTW women joined in the strike, making it a grand revolution.

As the strike progresses, the women face opposition from men in their community, who feel that they are interfering in their traditional ways of life. The men see the women's strike as an insult to their masculinity and try to intimidate them into ending the strike. However, the women are resolute in their fight and refuse to back down.

Meanwhile, Mama Ngozi is grappling with her own personal problems. Her husband, who had abandoned her and her children in the previous movie, returns and wants to be a part of their lives. Mama Ngozi is torn between accepting him back and standing by her principles.

The movie tackles important social issues such as child marriage and domestic violence, and it does so in a way that is both entertaining and informative. The film's comedic elements help to lighten the mood and prevent the movie from becoming too heavy-handed.

The performances by the cast are stellar, with Omoni Oboli leading the way as Mama Ngozi. She portrays the character with depth and nuance, bringing both strength and vulnerability to the role. Kenneth Okonkwo also shines as a supportive male figure who wants to see the women succeed in their fight.

In conclusion, Wives on Strike 2: The Revolution is a worthy sequel to the first movie. It is a movie that speaks to the power of people coming together to fight for a common cause. The film's message is important and relevant, and it is presented in a way that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
