Four friends from high school re-unite to plan the 50th anniversary of their alma mater.
As a battle of superiority stirs up and issues from the past are re-visited, secrets are revealed that threaten to tear up their seemingly perfect lives.
The four friends are: Mercy Johnson who played Amaka Okafor; Tana Adelana as Lola Coker; Mercy Aigbe as Tosin Olowookere and Lillian Esoro as Ufuoma Ikomi. Others include: Jide Kosoko, Chioma Emeruah Chigul Frededrick Leonard, Jaiye Kuti, Femi Jacobs and Lateef Adedimeji.
According to the Executive Producer, and CEO Fojo Media productions, Faith Ojo:
“I recently created Fojo media and the movie we are almost completing is one of our projects. My goal is that Fojo media operates here is Nigeria and America.
The movie tells the story of four ladies played by Mercy Johnson, Tana Adelana, Mercy Aigbe and Lilian Osoro, who had deep secrets and during their anniversary party, a couple of these secrets started unveiling.
My goal is that both the young and old will embrace this movie; this will motivate me to bring in investors from the United States into the Nigerian movie industry to improve our economy.”
The businesswoman said that although there were other celebrities the company wanted to work with, but because they are new in the system, these actors rejected their offer.
“Here I am trying to improve the economy and here we are having people who are trying to bring down your spirit.
I am truly trying to bring awareness to this and I believe that if you truly have not heard of anyone before, you get to know them one day; everyone should be given an opportunity and this is not just to the politicians but within ourselves.
My vision is all about creating jobs for the economy. I have always been very passion about African arts and not just Nigerian movies hence I came back to be hands on to run the business and know its intricacies.
Speaking on the future of Fojo media she said that they plan to do more cinemas movies and TV series even as there are other ongoing projects. “Fojo media is going to be big and the sky is our starting point,” she added.
Producer/Director, Thomas Odia said that movie tells about not judging a book by its cover.
“Today in our society we have a lot of people who pretend to be who they are not so be yourself and what is yours will come your way.”
On what makes the movie stand out, he said that the choice of actors makes the difference because they are actually true to their characters, “sometimes we have brilliant actors who may not fit into the roles.
Just because they have the popularity or the name, people tend to use them for specific roles that they would easily portray; if you have a character that is not sensual and you reverse the order, you won’t get what you want.
We hope to go to the cinemas by April this year. Fojo media already has a TV series titled, ‘YES I DO’.”
