Actor Omoni Oboli was at Silverbird Cinema Ikeja Mall on Friday to promote
FIFTY the movie. As expected Fifty's tickets were sold out 30 minutes before the cinema scheduled screening; leaving some cinema goers disappointed that they couldn't get tickets to watch the movie on its opening day.
FIFTY is a brand new film from EbonyLife Films starring Ireti Doyle, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Omoni Oboli, and Nse Ikpe-Etim. With guest and cameo appearances by King Sunny Ade, Femi Kuti, Nneka, Tiwa Savage and Waje, the film has been selected to screen at the 2015 London Film Festival in the 'Love Category'. Mo Abudu, Executive Producer of Desperate Housewives Africa, the first drama format ever to be made in Africa, is also the Executive Producer of FIFTY. Mo has a flair for excellence and does not disappoint.
FIFTY captures the lives of four Nigeria women at the pinnacle of their careers. Meet Tola, Elizabeth, Maria and Kate, four friends forced, at midlife, to take inventory of their personal lives, while juggling careers and family against the sprawling backdrops of the upper middle-class neighbourhoods of Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos. They live and work in the resurgent, ever-bustling, 24-hour megacity of Lagos, the commercial capital of Africa’s biggest and most vibrant economy.
Tola is a reality TV star whose marriage to lawyer Kunle never stood a chance thanks to an invidious family secret. Elizabeth is a celebrated obstetrician whose penchant for younger men has estranged her from her daughter. Forty-nine year-old Maria has an affair with a married man that results in an unexpected pregnancy and Kate’s battle with a life-threatening illness has plunged her into religious obsession.
In this tender but unflinching exploration of love and lust, power and rivalry, life and loss in twenty-first century Africa’s most populous city, and to the pulsating beat of the compelling and entrancing grooves of World Music superstar King Sunny Ade, Afrobeat titan Femi Kuti, German-Nigerian wunderkind singer-songwriter Nneka who all appear in the movie together with pop icon Tiwa Savage and the irrepressible Waje. We see our four lead characters muster courage, put on their six-inch heels, working hard and partying too, and strut confidently to tackle life’s curveballs head-on. Tola, Elizabeth, Maria and Kate rise triumphantly to the challenges of contemporary life faced by women everywhere and remain unbowed.

ReplyDeleteD movie berra be good!
Patiently gon wait for Irokotv to upload...
DeleteHmmmm. I keep seeing women leading and taking over. Men una era is suddenly eh eh! Seems God is angry at some men who instead of using his blessing to bless his family rather used it to hurt them by messing around. Now the grace is on women. Only the few wise n decent men are still being favoured. Never you use your wealth to hurt a praying wife cos she is your source. #Wisdom#GodOfVirtuosWomen

This Mr Nigeria is sexy.
Chike,efulefu hubby of Nse(in the movie).i hate efulefus. Lol
Mo,you did good.
Oh,and I don't believe the rumour about Omoni....people can make their -ve imaginations feel so real. So until there is proof,lemme focus on what I see.A Successful,happy mother to those cuties.
Omoni is a whore even her colleagues know , I knew about her sexcapades since four years back, and her husband is the biggest fool ever
DeleteOmoni played herself in dt movie. It made me bliv what is being speculated abt her. I have seen d movie not bad and very captivating and impressing especially the sex and naked scene.
DeleteWhere can we watch online. Iroko TV don taya me. Netflix don taya me.

ReplyDeleteThat's good,all these cinema movies sef,abeg make I wait for my alaba boys,I know they will compile it into season film.
ReplyDeleteIts still a pity all the movies we do are all dramas......no action,no history, no epic....and I mean in very standard formats not those petty crap churned out by Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie yesterday, and in general, the movie was good!
ReplyDeleteIn terms of showing the exqusite, serene and pulsating life of the First class citizens of Nigeria, I will score the film 10/10.
It is a very Classy movie and at a point you will start wondering, is this movie shot in Lagos or New York.
As for the storyline, I will score it 6/10!
Can't wait to watch this
ReplyDeleteRoad to yesterday was interesting tho
ReplyDeleteWatched yesterday night at Ozone cinema.
ReplyDeleteCinematograph - on point
Costume - apt
Storyline - 5/10
It's an okay film. 'The visit' made top of the cinema films this year for me.
The film gonna be interesting.
ReplyDeleteAll this hype over a movie that will end up having a stupid storyline and will leave u wondering y you spent your money to go see it in the first place
