(By Zik ZuluOkafor) - OMONI OBOLI:- THE TRIAL OF A NOLLYWOOD BRAND...
Omoni
Oboli is the Director and Producer of the movie, Okafor's Law. And she is
supposed to be the writer of the screenplay.
The premiere of this much talked about movie had
been hyped to heavens' doors. Film makers, film enthusiasts, corporate players
and even ordinary people waited for Friday, March 24 for the opening night of
this much anticipated movie at the IMAX Cinema, Lekki Lagos.
The Friday came. But on her way to the venue of the
premiere, Omoni as she is simply called, received a terrible gift. A court
order stopping the premiere and further distribution of the movie was coldly
handed to her. A company with a jaw-breaking name, Raconteur Productions had
handed Omoni this mortal legal blow. And so the premiere couldn't hold.
But on Thursday, March 30, Justice Ibrahim Buba of
the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, put a smile back on Omoni's face as he
vacated the injunction. The high flying Nollywood Director is now free to show
her movie anywhere she pleases. An ecstatic Omoni, on hearing this delightful
news went on her knees to give fervent thanks to God and pronto announced that
the movie would begin to show nationwide from Friday, March 31.
