“Would You Cheat?” (2025) is a gripping Nollywood romantic drama that looks deep into the fragile boundaries of love, loyalty, and human vulnerability.
Set in the vibrant and fast-paced city of Lagos, the film follows Chioma (portrayed by the emotionally captivating Emmanuella Iloba), a devoted wife seemingly living the perfect life with her charming and successful husband, Derrick (played by Eddie Watson). Their relationship appears unshakable—until temptation arrives in the most unexpected form.
When Derrick travels abroad on a long business assignment, Chioma is left emotionally drained. The loneliness becomes suffocating, and despite her outward strength, she begins to unravel. Her best friend Vanessa (played by Jennifer Obodo) casually poses a provocative question over wine one evening: “If you had the chance… would you cheat?” Chioma laughs it off, but as days pass, the question lingers—especially after she meets Tega, a mysterious, empathetic stranger whose presence feels both comforting and dangerously magnetic.
As Chioma and Tega grow closer, what starts as a connection rooted in emotional understanding begins to shift. Chioma finds herself caught between loyalty to her vows and the aching desire to feel truly seen and heard. At the same time, Derrick’s own secrets begin to unravel, raising doubts about the authenticity of the love she’s been so devoted to.
Would You Cheat? explores a woman’s internal battle with truth, temptation, betrayal, and the painful process of self-discovery. It challenges viewers with its central question: What would you do if you were pushed to the edge of loneliness, betrayal, and longing?
Would You Cheat? is not just a film—it’s an intimate, haunting examination of trust, marriage, and the emotional risks we face when love is tested.
