Faithstream’s warm-hearted Nigerian romantic comedy by LordTanner Studios, premieres on Africa’s premier faith-based streaming platform on Friday 6 November, before going live across Africa and the diaspora two weeks later.
LAGOS, 6 November 2026 : House of Faith today premieres Love and Porridge, the first FaithStream Original film, on FaithStream, Africa’s premier faith-based streaming platform. Produced by acclaimed Nigerian filmmaker Tolu “Lord Tanner” Awobiyi of LordTanner Studios, the romantic comedy goes live for viewers everywhere on Friday 20 November 2026, free to watch on the FaithStream app and at www.thefaithstream.com.
Love and Porridge follows Taye Arimoro (as Chef Dapo) a celebrity chef and Wendy Lawal (Ifedayo), Michael Ejoor (as Charles), Joy Shile, Doris Okorie, and Tuby Unic.
A buka owner with a growing business – their worlds collide in a burst of suspense, comedy, love, betrayal, prejudice and more. Told with humour and heart, it is a story made for families to watch together across generations, with key lessons along the way.
The film meets an audience at FaithStream’s premiere which holds today at the Ebony Life at Victoria Island in Lagos on the 6th of November 2026, where it is screened with the cast and crew in attendance. Its arrival on the faithstream platform on the 20th of November 2026, will bring it to FaithStream’s audience at home and across the diaspora, at no cost to viewers.
As FaithStream’s first original production, Love and Porridge marks a milestone for a platform built to increase the share of voice of faith-based content within mainstream entertainment. House of Faith’s aim is to show that stories rooted in faith can match the best of popular entertainment for craft, humour and emotional pull, and that audiences should not have to choose between a good story and their values.
“Love and Porridge is a small film with a big purpose. It is funny, it is warm, and it carries values families can share without apology. As our first original, it is a statement of intent: faith-based stories from Africa can entertain anyone, anywhere, and we are only getting started.”
Mr Kunle Falodun, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, House of Faith
“FaithStream was built for the way people actually consume content: on mobile, on every kind of connection, and without a subscription fee. Anyone with a phone can download Love and Porridge and watch it with their family anywhere, anytime for free.”
Mr Hakeem Condotti, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder, House of Faith
“We wanted to tell a love story that feels true to the Nigeria we know: the humour, the family dynamics, the food, and the quiet ways faith shapes our choices. Working with FaithStream gave us the freedom to make that film and put it in front of audiences everywhere.”
Mr Tolu “Lord Tanner” Awobiyi, Producer, LordTanner Studios.
