Sub Sahara to hit cinemas this April

By Juliet Ebirim

A new TV series that mirrors the typical African society and its pressing needs was screened recently at Blue Pictures Cinema, Onikan, Lagos.

Shot during the peak of the Covid-19 outbreak in Nigeria, the series “Sub Sahara” centres on the character Kenny. It tells the tale of how African leaders and their citizens are often distracted by peripheral issues, with Kenny portrayed as a metaphorical representation of Africa.

The new television show is set to premiere in 50 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Speaking at the exclusive screening, the director Buhari Yesufu explained how the show’s unorthodox story revolves around relevant social themes. His words: ”Sub Sahara highlights the confusion and lack of urgency of pressing issues in Africa.

The lead character is a representation of things that are missing and have been taken from the African culture and society. It shows how we have been distracted by significantly insignificant problems that have arisen from Kenny’s absence.

This live-action method of storytelling takes us back to an era in Nollywood filmmaking, to remind the audience of a better history than what we had access to.”

Starring Sophie Alakija, Steve Chuks, Tobi Bakre, Darasimi Ogbetah, Vasco Egbaiyelo, Eva Ibiam, Mijah Confidence, Adebiyi Adetola, Ebenezer Akachukwu among others, the full-length film adaptation of the series will premiere at the cinemas on April 23rd, 2021.

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
