Patience Ozokwor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Krystal Okeke, Others Attend Premier of “Ikemba” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkQlJcxZ2J8 A new movie, “Ikemba”, was premiered on Sunday at the Orientals Hotel, Lekki, Lagos, to an array of “A” list actors and movie enthusiasts. The movie which had actors like Pete Edochie, Ramsey Noah, Yul Edochie, Zubby Michael, Patience Ozokwor, Chiwetalu Agu, Kanayo O.Kanayo, Krystal Okeke and others, was produced by Mr James Oguejiofor. The star studded movie tells the story of how the whitemen came into Nigeria. Oguejiofor told newsmen that the movie had “A list actors” because he wanted the best and also for the message in the script to be perfectly interpreted. “Ikemba movie is about happenings in Africa. If you observe, the colonial masters are still around, they like to cause chaos whenever they intend to get something from Africa. “The young ones don’t know all these, that is why we are writing these stories to educate our people and also open their eyes. It is not always about making money but to enlighten the people,” he said. The producer added that one of the challenges of shooting the movie was getting actors to location due to insecurity, as the movie was shot in Enugu, Abia and Calabar. Veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, popularly know as, “Mama G”, said, “Ikemba is a one-stop movie that gives you everything you want in a movie. “It talks about tradition, culture, education, foreign touch and everything that has happened to us. The message cuts across cultures. “It is a star studded movie but most importantly, it passes an important message on how the foreigners came in and what they did. “I hope people will learn to make movies with great stories like this.” Actor Kanayo O. Kanayo, also described the movie as being unique, adding that it looks back to the days when the whitemen came and those on ground did not understand them. “Africans are great people who don’t unnecessarily suspect you but then, the whiteman came with Bible in hand and before we opened our eyes, we had the Bible and they had the lands. “They came with entrenched interest, it caused division amongst us, which has not gone till date. Now, we hardly trust people around us. “There is always this tendency of playing the politics of supremacy, these are the stories told by Ikemba which makes it a unique one.” he said. US based actress Dr. Krystal Okeke celebrated the movie as a rich historical African reflection which tells so much of culture and tradition. According to her, " I represent culture, I own three companies in United States of Africa that is all about culture and diversity, bringing people together, ending discrimination, that is what this movie signifies" I am a mixed Nigerian, I am Fulani, Hausa, Ibo. You don't see that in Nigeria so that is who inspired me" The movie lead director, Godwin Obiora, popularly know as, “Boko Indentention”, said it wasn’t easy directing a star studded movie, especially those that are well grounded with tradition. He said he had to do detailed research to effectively guide the actors and also tell the story in a way that would be easily understood. “I did a lot of research to make me connect with the script. I wanted to make something that invalidates some of the teachings we were taught about the whiteman in school. “I decided to change the narrative so that my children and other generations to come would know the true story.” he said. Emmanuel Eyaba, the Assistant Movie Director, said that directing Ikemba was a big project and that there would be subsequent premiere in Abuja and Port-Harcourt.“Ikemba is another step closer to making movies that promote our culture, heritage and tradition, so that they do not go into extinction. Ikemba is just one of a kind,” he said. Sylvester Madu, who also acted in the movie, described Ikemba as unique and a must see for everyone. Madu said the movie tells why Africa needed to come together and harness its resources rather than let other people do it. https://www.statepress.ng/2022/04/patience-ozokwor-kanayo-o-kanayo.html?m=1 8 Likes

See them up there, they've started again, ordinary premier that we have been attending in Lagos for year, "Only igbo can do it." They are right though, only Igbo can do it. When you see an igbo saying nonesense here, just know that igbo is at work, it's their trade mark. Meanwhile, Like for Tinubu to be president Share for Atiku, Osinbanjo, Wike, Ameachi, Sowore or Peter obi to be president 9 Likes 27 Shares |

The title is very deceitful. When I heard Ikemba, the first thing that came into my mind was Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu. I thought the movie was about his life and time... All men are born equal but a few grow up to become great. Such greatness is what I thought the movie is all about...what an irony. 7 Likes 1 Share
