Eze Agha, The King of War!

Eze Agha: King of War!

Inspired by the history of Igbo Ukwu, I want to produce an epic film of a great Igbo King called Eze Agha, King of War, who was known for being a defender of the defenceless chiefdoms by fighting for them against their oppressors. He attacked and freed slaves from the wicked kings of other kingdoms. 

He was said to be the son of a great prince and a river goddess. He was born with powers of immunity to weapons and could disappear and reappear. But it was an abomination for him to sleep with a married woman. Committing adultery would destroy his immunity. And that was what was used to capture him.

A beautiful young woman who was already married was hired to lie to him that she was a maiden who was still a virgin. He fell in love with her and slept with her. After sleeping with her, he suddenly felt weak and knew that he had done the forbidden act of adultery.
The seductress escaped to inform her people and they prepared for battle against him 
His witch doctor warmed him to avoid the battle to save his life. But he refused.
"Eze Agha! You are now as visible and vulnerable as mere mortals. Flee before it is too late," the witch doctor lamented.
"No. If I cannot be brave in my mortal body as other mortals, then I am not worthy of being a warrior and to be the King of War," he said fearlessly.

He went to war against his enemies and he fought bravely as his warriors, but was wounded and captured. They took him away as a prisoner of war to their kingdom where he was paraded and mocked. 

In his pains, he cried and called for the spirit of his mother. Suddenly torrential rain fell and the kingdom of his captors was flooded. And his mother appeared walking on the waters with her arms stretched out to him. 
"Come my beloved son. From the canal of my womb you came and to my womb you shall return," she said in echoing voice with thunder and lightning. 
He held her arms and as she embraced him, the waters of the flood rose above them and carried them into the Imo river.
After the rains, the captors in fear and trembling came to the prison where they kept him and did not see him. They told the story of his mysterious disappearance to everyone and his story continued to be told till date

Leos Carax Makes "Annette" Masterpiece of Modern Cinema



"Annette" by Leos Carax is an awesome poetic romantic musical drama that is going to become an all time classic in modern cinema.


The cinematography by Caroline Champetier is awesome in poetic imagery of impressionism.  

Adam Driver as "Henry McHenry" and Marion Cotillard as "Ann Defrasnoux" were outstanding in unforgettable performances of their iconic characters of two famous entertainers who became starstruck lovers in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world.

Synopsis:

Present-day Los Angeles. Henry is an outspoken stand-up comedian, Ann a world-famous singer. They’re a happy celebrity couple, living life in the glare of the spotlight, but their world is turned upside-down by the birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious little girl with an exceptional destiny.

The opening film of the 74th annual Cannes Film Festival is most likely going to win the Palme d'Or. 

I  look forward to seeing it nominated for the Best Picture and other Oscars at the next Academy Awards of the Academy  of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), in 2022.

Release Date:

Friday, August 6, 2021 (Limited)

Friday, August 20, 2021 (PrimeVideo)

 Runtime: 2 rs, 20m  

Language: English

Adonko Alcoholic Bitters Bounces Back, Fetes Distributors

Adonko Alcoholic Bitters Bounces Back, Fetes Distributors

- By Ingram Osigwe 

It was a twin event Thursday, 22nd April 2021, at the cosy   Santiago Milano Hotels & Suites Amuwo- Odofin, Lagos, when Angel Group of companies, makers of the popular Adonko Bitters flew in from the Group's base in Ghana to meet with their loyal distributors and customers in Nigeria who have over the years ensured that the brand was never absent from shops and shelves in the country.

The Adonko makers also used the opportunity to announce the rebranding of the Bitters.

Notedly, Adonko is the favourite  Bitters among Bitters lovers in Nigeria because of its unique taste, quality and its natural ingredients content.

Stakeholders present at the event agreed that Adonko remains the Bitters to beat.

Mr.Samuel Kofi Acheampong,  son of Adonko Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Angel Broadcasting Network and Group Managing Director of the Angel Group, Ghana, thanked distributors, consumers and everyone that have kept faith with Andoko all these years

He told distributors that they would be rewarded with mouth- watering incentives to further encourage them.

Acheampong apologised for the breakdown in supply chain and logistics, saying it was caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic and the prolonged border closure in Nigeria.

He was full of effusive praises for Angel's Nigerian partners and holder of sole franchise for Adonko Bitters in the country, the Ekulo Group of companies, for keeping the brand's flag flying in Nigeria.

The Ekulo Group was represented at the event by its General Manager, Mr. Joseph Okonkwo.

Okonkwo commended the distributors for their loyalty and steadfastness despite the harsh economic realities, and for keeping a date with the epochal event.He promised that the Ekolu Group will do its best to reset the supply chain by eliminating the various bottlenecks militating against smooth delivery of the brand.

On his part, Mr. Vincent Opare, Marketing Director of Adonko Bitters pledged to open a communication and feedback channel between the company and the distributors in order to be constantly abreast of their concern.

Mr. Ingram Osigwe, Managing Director and Chief Executive officer of Fullpage Communications, the Advert Agency for Adonko, disclosed that his agency was poised for a mind blowing but creative advert and awareness strategies that will ensure that the brand gets to the nooks and crannies of Nigeria and also counter demarketing schemes of competitors.

As a way of showing gratitude to the distributors, each of them went home with either deep freezer or refrigerator.

The event attracted distributors and consumers of Adonko across the country.

The ambience was gay and enchanting as there were alot of sumptuous meals and choice wines which flowed endlessly.

The country Manager of Adonko, Mr. Ernest Brobbey who gave the votes of thanks told the distributors that he would always be there to cater for their needs and get the necessary feedback.

A classic psychopathethic drama on dementia.

Almost 80, mischievous, caustic, and defiantly living alone, Anthony rejects each and every hired caretaker that his daughter, Anne (Olivia Colman), lovingly introduces. Anne is desperate for help. She can’t make daily visits anymore, and Anthony’s grip on reality is unraveling. Given the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can he cling to? Anne grieves the loss of her father as he lives and breathes before her—but doesn’t she have the right to live her own life?
