This is my favorite as it's one of the more art housier movies. But in general you could just search for nollywood movies on youtube

I remember Rain the Color of Blue with a Little Red in It (a reference to Purple Rain, but there is no word for purple in Tamasheq, a Tuareg language). The movie is not great but the music is
