The week, however, ended on a more cheery note in the movie industry with Marvel’s Black Panther hitting Nigerian cinemas, just in time for the Valentines celebration.
Celebrities, movie lovers and supporters of the “black movement” applauded all those whose efforts contributed to making the movie a success and the hashtag #Wakandaforever quickly became a thing.
Channels Television’s Entertainment News caught up with Nigerian Singer and Actor, Ayoola Ayobami at the Lagos screening of the movie on February 13 and he shared his thoughts on the movie, including the fact that he wished he was also a part of the cast.“I envy everyone who has been a part of this project, it’s a healthy envy though (he laughed). For the rest of their lives, this goes on, on their resume that “I was part of the team that brought African Superheroes to the forefront”.
“I wish I was part of it but I’m sure there are other histories that we can be part of,” he said.
The highly anticipated movie which tells the tales of an African country from the perspective of affluence, light age development and technology was welcomed with unconditional approval.
More exciting for some fans was the fact that Nigerian actors Sope Akuko (Female) and, Femi Olagoke (Male) and others were among the cast.
The movie which has been described as the world’s biggest black superhero film, also came in time for the celebration of the Black History Month and many are optimistic that things can only get better from here, as blacks work towards reaching more milestones.
