Femi Lasode set to raise the bar with Stolen Treasures

Ex Ex-PMAN president, movie maker and arts impresario, Femi Lasode, is back with a bang! As you read this story, he’s on location in Lekki, Lagos, shooting his next movie entitled Stolen Treasures.

“This is a project that’s very close to my heart. I’ve been dreaming of this project forever. Stolen Treasures is all about creating awareness about Nigeria’s stolen artifacts abroad. We need to highlight the issue of the need to recover our artifacts. I am not the first to do it though; Chief Eddie Ugboma did it in his movie, The Mask. We want people to be aware that this is a very important issue. All our artifacts are in Paris and other museums around the world; what we are doing is creating awareness about our African heritage and the need to retrieve these artifacts,” an excited Lasode told tonyogagablog.

Written by Lasode, Stolen Treasures is an adventure story about a Briton who stumbles on the map of a treasure trove buried somewhere in Nigeria. Charmed by the lucre that lay waiting for him if he could locate the treasure, he embarks on a journey to Africa that takes him to Nigeria and then a tale of romance, betrayal and breath taking adventure begins to unfold as the characters are engaged in a race against time to lay their hands on the treasure.

The cast includes Angel Ufuoma, Clarion Chukwura, AMAA award winner, Gbenga Richards, veterans, Chief Eddie Ugboma and Larry Williams, Wale Adebayo, Afro beat singer, Alariwo, Jide Kosoko and PhillippeDupriyez.

Meanwhile, Lasode also opened up on his film village: “We’ve been hearing about film villages all over but we haven’t seen anything. Primarily the film shoot is to promote my film village because we believe the film village should be self sufficient. We are using this as a test run. We are in partnership with Best Resort Hotels and were building a film village at Majekodunmi Farms. We are building from scratch and that’s the reason you see so much equipment around. Everything here is going to be used for the film village.”

It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
