YUL EDOCHIE, QUEEN NWOKONYE TO STORM
AGBOR FOR MOVIE MAKING
That Agbor is becoming a hub for
Nollywood activities is no more news as there is no month that at least two
movies are not shot in Agbor. This time around, in less than seven days time,
popular Nollywood actors and actresses will be in Ika land for the making of
some movies, titled “Wilderness of Love”, “Dance of Love”, War on Politics and
National Deceased,” among others. These movies will be produced by the award
winning producer, Mr. Percy Monday Edoki and
will be directed by Ifeanyi Azodo.
According
to the producer, Percy Monday Edoki, the movies were earlier proposed to be
shot in Port Harcourt, but having seen that the kind of structures that the
movies require are in Agbor, there was no need going outside Ika land. He added
that arrangements have been made for the following artistes, Yul Edochie,
Chiwetala Agu, Amechi Mouonagor, Camila Mgberkpe, Queen Nwokonye, Ed. Nnasor,
Elvis Obi, Popo, and a host of others to be in Agbor as they will all feature
in the movies.
He
also used the opportunity to appreciate the following persons for their
contributions in building Nollywood in Agbor, Dr. Victor Ikpon, Hon. Hilary
Fada Ibude, Chief Jude Ogbekile, Deacon Monday Akpokwueze, and Chief Ikenchor
Okwuokenye, the Inneh of Owa.
He
also used the medium to appeal to all Ika sons and daughters both at home
and in diaspora to always make Ika proud
in all their dealings.
