More Than Words is a heartfelt 2025 Nigerian romantic drama that tells the story of an unexpected love between two people from vastly different worlds. The film stars Sandra Okunzuwa as Adaora, a shy, humble young woman who struggles with a stammer that has long made her a target of ridicule and rejection. Despite her quiet nature and humble background, she possesses a deep well of inner strength and emotional sensitivity.
Opposite her is Okusaga Adeoluwa, who plays Chike, a wealthy, successful businessman admired for his confidence and charm. Used to being surrounded by polished, eloquent people, Chike is taken aback when he encounters Adaora and finds himself deeply moved by her honesty, kindness, and quiet resilience. Though society—and even his own family—expects him to marry someone from his social class, Chike cannot ignore the connection he feels with her.
As their relationship begins to grow, Adaora must face her deepest insecurities, questioning whether she is truly worthy of love from a man like Chike. Meanwhile, Chike is forced to confront the harsh expectations of a classist society that sees Adaora’s stammer and poverty as unacceptable. Through patience and genuine care, he supports her, not trying to fix her, but helping her embrace her worth.
With strong supporting performances from Divine Duke, Ogara Abdul, and Chioma Edak, the film adds layers of family tension, societal judgment, and emotional healing to the core romance.
