User Friendly (RuthKadiri247)

High-stakes corporate greed meets unexpected romance in User Friendly. Following her father’s death, billionaire heiress Tenny (Ruth Kadiri) struggles to take charge of his business empire as alcohol abuse and poor choices make her a prime target for manipulative relatives. To protect her, her grandmother hires Morris (Maurice Sam), a firm bodyguard tasked with shielding her from family sabotage. As Morris helps her navigate the corporate snakes, their professional bond evolves into a deep romance that reshapes her future.

Helmed by Ruth Kadiri, the film stars Ruth Kadiri and Maurice Sam, alongside Fessa Okafor, Betty Ndidiamaka Okafor Ajoku, and Anthony Woode.
