From OCTOBER 1 to THE CEO
The CEO will be shot in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco and Paris.
Kunle unveiled the cast last Thursday at the
Inagbe Resort in Lagos, where he said that the multi-lingual movie
would showcase different cultures, attires and music.
While Nigerian stars such as Wale Ojo,
Hilda Dokubo and Kemi Lala-Akindoju are on set, among the foreign actors
in the cast are Grammy Award-winning singer, Angélique Kidjo; Haitan
actor and model, Jimmy Jean-Louis, best known for his role as The Haitan
on the NBC television series Heroes; French-Ivorian actress and model,
Aurelie Eliam; South African actor and presenter, Nicolaos
Panagiotopoulos; and Moroccan star, Fatim Layachi.
Afolayan has the support of some
corporate organisations on the project. As a result, officials of the
likes of Air France, Africa Magic, DStv, Adron Homes and Properties
Ltd., K-Square Securities and Inagba Grand Resorts and Leisure were at
the event.
While Airfrance, which recently unveiled
Afolayan as its ambassador, is flying the cast across location
countries, Afolayan is said to have got a loan from BoI, under the
bank’s NollyFund scheme.
The event was also attended by notable filmmakers, Tunde Kelani and Tade Ogidan, and senior officers of sponsoring companies.
Among the people who commended Afolayan
and expressed support for him, Kidjo noted that she was happy with the
way he was advancing cinema on the continent.
She said, “Kunle and I have the same
approach. I try to bring my music beyond my country. For me, this music
is beyond Nigeria. If we have a vision of giving so much to this world,
we will make an impact in our African story and that’s what Kunle is
trying to do. It’s the dream of the Arican race, and in 2050, Africa
will be the largest continent in the world.”
The CEO tells the story of TransWire
Communications, a global phone network with major operation in Nigeria.
The CEO, an expatriate, has retired; hence the Global Chairman has
decided to send five nominees among his most senior-level staff across
Africa on a leadership course in order to determine which one to appoint
as the new CEO of Nigeria. The process that started relatively smoothly
suddenly climaxed in a game of an intriguing death.
