Living in Bondage is a Nigerian two-part drama thriller released in 1992 and 1993 respectively, directed by Chris Obi Rapu, written by Kenneth Nnebue and Okechukwu Ogunjiofor, produced by Ogunjiofor, and sponsored by Jafac Wine. The film starred Kenneth Okonkwo and Nnenna Nwabueze in their breakout roles, and is regarded as the first Nigerian home video to achieve blockbuster success.
