WITH a historic victory in the polls recently of Barrack Obama to become the first black president in the United States, Nollywood producers are trying desperately to outwit themselves on who comes out with the first Obama home movie.
While the wise ones that have been following the campaign train of the American President-elect are almost through with their scripts and looking for funds, the less creative ones, having woken from their slumber, have been contacting scriptwriters to come out with any script that would showcase the now very popular Obama spirit of I can. What we could not ascertain are the titles of the movies which the producers are keeping a secret as that, they believe, holds the key to making sales.
We are using this medium to appeal to these producers to please spare us this ridicle. we have never produced a decent movie about any of our past leaders or cultural icons (except for few movies like SANGO), why should we embarass ourselves with this cheap publicity stunt.
It is likely that one of the movies will be released before Obama is sworn in as president next year. Imagine a movie shot & produced in less than 3 months. I think you have an idea of what a big disgrace this movie will be. I wonder who they'll hire to play Obama? i guess Saint Obi or Clem Ohameze. Nollyarns will keep you posted.

I don't think a movie about obama is a good idea right now cos nollywood is being noted for doing some movies that are not well 'copied'or 'imitated'!When i watched Beyonce n Rihanna, i was like why bother produce a movie? was omotola tryn to deliberately kill her career? i m a big fan of nollywood's good jobs but there r just some movies that when u watch them u begin to think that they were all just bored n wanted to put somthn on tape.pls pls pls obama movie is a no no right now.let's reconstuct ideas n plan earnestly before we release obama movie, i beg of u!
That is just going to be suicide for the yet growing industry n i feel rilly sorry for them if they even plow that line it is goin to be a nasty n detrimental thin for them. I hope they read thing like this b4 proceedin with their stupid action
Gawd... The idea of an Obama film did not cross my mind... Methinks it would NOT be a good idea!!!
