Almost 25

In Almost 25, Kasimma works at Pyramid Homes as her twenty-fifth birthday approaches. Aunt Oby believes a family curse prevents any woman from marrying after twenty-five and bombards Kasimma with suitors, handing her phone number to dozens of men. Kasimma resists the pressure because she prioritizes her career and dismisses the superstition as nonsense. Colleague Lucia returns from a blissful honeymoon that highlights Kasimma's single status. Stefan teases Kasimma about her chronic lateness. Aunt Oby orchestrates a wedding rehearsal fantasy, forcing Kasimma to dance like her miracle in a bridal gown. She coerces Kasimma into wearing tight revealing dresses to showcase her figure at a party. She arranges meetings with Ifeanyi, a developer who claims to be number one in Malaysia, and Kenny, a large man Kasimma dislikes on sight. At the party Ifeanyi appears in a green cap and wins Aunt Oby's approval with promises to let Kasimma pursue any business she desires. Meanwhile Jason shields Kasimma from unwanted setups, and she builds a warm rapport with Ikenna, her landlord and a major property developer whom Aunt Oby befriends and nicknames Uncle Ike. As the birthday deadline looms the pressure mounts. The crisis erupts when Ifeanyi sends Kasimma five hundred thousand naira to buy her own engagement ring and refuses to kneel or propose properly, which reveals his arrogant control. Later Jason politely kisses Kasimma's hand while dropping her off, and Ifeanyi explodes in jealous rage, publicly humiliating her and forbidding her to walk away. He issues explicit threats, vowing to deal with Kasimma if she interacts with other men. Aunt Oby, horrified by his true colors, slaps him, denounces him as the real curse, and physically ejects him from her house, reclaiming the dollars he had gifted her. With Ifeanyi gone Aunt Oby joyfully reconciles with Ikenna, cementing him as family.
