A new socio-political film, ‘Tenants of the House’, is out and has hit the cinemas.
Inspired by the novel written by Dr Wale Okediran, who also doubles as the producer, ‘Tenants of the House’ is a film about conspiracy in power, dangerous romance, girl-child education and of course conspiracy theory.
Okediran wrote the book to document parts of his experience as a former member of the House of Representatives. The book won the 2013 Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature.
According to Okediran: ‘’The Bank of Industry gave me a loan to shoot the film and also gave me some technical support’’
The movie is a visual political expose on Nigeria’s ruling class including the conflict between personal and national interest wrapped with a garb of emotions. The nagging issues of herder/farmer conflict and corruption in high places were also succinctly addressed in the film.
‘Tenants of the House’ which features actors like Joselyn Dumas, Yakub Mohammed, Dele Odule and many more is directed by ace movie director Kunle Afolayan and is now available in major cinema houses nationwide.
