Saturday evening, October 29, 2022.
Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria.
I am still rocking "The American King" promo T-shirt we made and gave out to all the moviegoers who saw the #Nollywood and #Hollywood comedy at selected cinemas during the Easter weekend in Nigeria.
I can shout HALLELUJAH!
Almighty God hears and answers prayers.
He renews my youth like the Eagles. - Psalm 103:5.
Celebrate every moment of progress, success, triumph and victory with all the thanksgivings to Almighty God.
AUTHOR AND SPEAKER JOHN STAHL-WERT SAYS IT IS IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE MILESTONES FOR FIVE REASONS:
As humans we are called to grow. “Becoming more” is essential. We suffer when we don’t grow. Every milestone deserves notice. It is an affirmation of an accomplishment.
Growth is nourished by encouragement. Celebrate even the small steps because “small is where big comes from.” We guide others toward bigness through encouragement.
Acknowledging milestones gives us the opportunity to reflect on where we have been, where we are now and what we can learn from this part of the journey. Our growth and achievement are for the greater purpose of our service to the world. Achievement, in and of itself, doesn’t fulfill, and without reflection, we are trapped by an insatiable avarice to fill a bottomless hole.
Nothing locks in learning like a party. It signifies that the accomplishment really matters.
Celebrating milestones reminds us to give thanks for everyday moments. When we pause to celebrate something that is noteworthy, the act of slowing down invites us to notice everything else.

The American King Trailer: https://youtu.be/QXwAL-OrRhM
The American King is starring famous singer Akon alongside top Hollywood and Nollywood stars, Andrew Howard, Nick Moran, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Rahama Sadau, Alexx Ekubo, Enyinna Nwigwe and guess who? Peter Okoye of the famous #PSquare! Other top Hollywood actors in the movie are Jennifer Wenger, Miguel A. Núñez Jr., Martin Dingle-Wall, Massi Furlan,Vanessa Giselle, Ella Kweku, Tommy Franklin, Nathin Butler, Myles Cranford, Jasmine Hester, Jack Campbell and DaShawn Barnes.
Akon plays a troublemaking American anointed by a mysterious High Priestess to fulfill a 400-year-old prophecy to become the new King of Africa. While he and his foolishly sophomoric buddies find themselves trying to adapt to the realities of being royalty, the US Government, including the President, takes a keen interest in exploiting the situation for their own benefit. Amidst the hijinks and lessons learned about the responsibilities that comes with being a leader, the story reveals its roots from the history and lessons of the 1619 Project. Racial and gender stereotypes, American politics, and more are addressed, lampooned, and satirized with no holds barred, and with the beauty and diversity of Africa as a backdrop.
The story is loosely based on the firsthand experience of writer and director Obekpa, a prince and former heir to his father's throne when King of the Idoma nation
Nollywood Has Nothing Original To Show Us On Netflix
From all I have seen of NIgerian movies on #Netflix so far, including the Netflix's Nigerian Originals in movies and series, I don't see any that can compare and compete with the best from America, Asia, Europe and Australia on Netflix in screenwriting, casting, directing, production design, music and cinematography.
There is nothing new that is different from the normal melodramas of #Nollywood on DStv, IROKOtv and public TV channels.
Too much makeup, inappropriate costumes without knowledge of appropriate costumes for storytelling with the cinematography and the music is out of sync with the different scenarios showing apparent ignorance of using soundtracks for characterisations and the acting is plastic in many scenes like they want to copy scenes from the telenovelas of #Telemundo.
A total lack of originality.
The best NIgerian series is not on Netflix, it is "Oasis" currently showing on TVC.

Anyone who says he or she is shocked by the passing of the famous Nigerian comic actor, Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as "Baba Suwe" is ignorant of the circumstances surrounding his demise. The fact is Baba Suwe never recovered from the illness and trauma caused by his torture when he was arrested and detained by officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in 2011. The NDLEA accused him of being in possession of substances suspected to be cocaine. Baba Suwe told The Punch newspaper that he was crippled after he was tortured by the NDLEA.
“I have not forgotten about my issue with the NDLEA and I will never forget because I am still bearing the pains and suffering from that encounter. I am still affected by the inflictions they meted on me at that time.
“As I speak with you, I cannot walk with both my legs. Just to visit the toilet in my room, I have to be carried there. Even using the toilet is a problem as well.
https://punchng.com/how-i-became-crippled-after-my-ndlea-encounter/
It is unfortunate that the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and the Theatre and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) failed to take up the case of maltreatment of Baba Suwe by the NDLEA. They failed him when he needed them most. Before he passed on, Baba Suwe appreciated how Yomi Fabiyi stood by him .
“The only time you cannot know true friends, especially in our industry, is when you party or have buffet; when they have nothing to lose or suffer no discomfort. If you fall terribly sick or run into any problem, that you need moral support, that is when you will know you amount to nothing to them."
- Yomi Fabiyi
If you don't have the intellectual education for the comprehensive research and professional competence in filmmaking, it is best to hands off the film adaptations of historical events. You cannot give what you don't have.
A good film adaptation of the Aba Women's Riot is the kind of film that can qualify for the Official Selections of the Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin and make the nominations for the Academy Awards. But as Okechukwu said, they messed it up. It is a Nollywood comedy of the Aba Women's Riot. They even said, "We move!"
I have the entire transcripts of the court trials and the details of the principal characters and situations of the circumstances and consequences of the Aba Women's Riot and they are available for any proven filmmaker who has the criteria for the film adaptation.
