If what we hear is
true then American rapper, 50 Cent is on his way to Nigeria to feature
in a flick, which would be produced and directed by Emeka Ike.
A source close to
Ike disclosed that the movie is a spin off of the actor's involvement
with the training of ex-militants from the Niger Delta, a project he is
so dedicated to. "This is a big one for Nollywood. As you read this,
plans have been concluded to bring 50 Cent to Nigeria to feature in a
new movie. And guess what?
He would be
starring alongside Nigerian big names including ex-militants who have
renounced violence for peace. The ex-militants underwent special
training in acting, cinematography and the basics of filmmaking and
production under Emeka Ike in Ghana.
This is the first
of such films; many more are on the way. The objective is to
practically demonstrate how movies could be used as a tool for
empowering restive Nigerian youths," the source states. Skoops further
learnt that work on the movie will begin before the end of the first
quarter of this year.
