That's nice |

yarimo: It’s going to be dope. I like how David Oyelowo is part of the executive producer but I hope they give indigenous Ibos some of the role to play too. Judging from the UK people doing this, they’ll premiere it in English language. I am of the opinion that they should have used Ibo language to catapult it to the mainstream like Yoruba too. 12 Likes |

Books like this are this, Passport of Ilia by Cyprain Ekwensi, the Concubine etc etc are what Nigerian movie producers should be adopting to display the African story to the world at large. But they prefer shooting movies with slay queens, ritual kiIIings and Yul Edochie, they are trying to copy the west while the west is now using African books to make movies, the west now make African movies for Africa. Things like this are what we need to wake up and do not following empty trends from one month to another. 4 Likes |

Seems Ibo people have started to get agitated. How can Bishop Ajayi Crowther write the first Igbo dictionary and David Oyelowo produce the first major Igbo story? They want Oyelowo sued. 6 Likes

JagabanB: The Passport of Mallam Ilia. |

azpekuliar:A movie with "The Passport of Mallam Ilia" that's well produced will be a blockbuster. We are waiting for Westerners to produce our movies with their dirty imitation of our intonation, heard a particular statement in the woman king that keeps getting on my nerves, a statement intended to imitate our intonation saying "the Oyo has entered our land" which sounded like "d oyor has entered our land". |

Just curious, did the production company secure the rights to turn the book into a movie series? |
Re: Breaking: "Things Fall Apart" Set To Be Adapted As A TV Series In The UK by LegendHero(m): 10:05pm On Sep 27 |
WhiteIverson: They will. It’s impossible that they’ll just produce without getting approvals. 11 Likes |

LegendHero: Compare. Like I said, a political award as compensation for his spy works. In other words, the cultist was used by the colonialists against his own country. A sellout.
