Lionheart
Lionheart is a 2018 corporate drama that centers on Adaeze Obiagu, a sharp, highly competent executive working at Lionheart Transport, a prominent bus company founded by her father, Chief Ernest Obiagu. Adaeze expects to be named temporary CEO when her father suffers a sudden heart attack and is forced to step back for medical reasons. To her surprise and disappointment, her traditional father passes over her in favor of his eccentric, less conventional younger brother, Chief Godswill Obiagu, believing a male presence is needed to run the business.

Storyline
As Adaeze swallows her pride to work alongside Uncle Godswill, she uncovers a dark corporate secret: the company is on the brink of bankruptcy due to a massive, unpaid ₦950 million loan. To make matters worse, a ruthless business rival, Igwe Pascal (owner of IG Motors), is actively executing a hostile takeover plot to swallow up Lionheart. From there, the movie evolves into an intergenerational corporate thriller and family dramedy. Adaeze and Godswill must bridge their vastly different management styles—her modern, strict approach versus his street-smart, humorous touch—to strike an unprecedented merger deal in Northern Nigeria, outmaneuver their rivals, and prove that a woman can comfortably lead in a male-dominated corporate world.
