Mo Abudu to make directorial debut with films on mental health

Published

on

Mo Abudu, the Nigerian film producer, is set to make her directorial debut with two short films.

The filmmaker, in a statement on Monday, confirmed she would be directing the short films titled ‘Her Perfect Life’ and ‘Iyawo Mi’.

The EbonyLife CEO, since her first full-length feature ‘Fifty’ in 2015, has presided over her production company’s storytelling as an executive producer while hiring external film executives for directing.

But in the two films, Abudu will be in charge of the whole filmmaking process in a move that comes about five years after she attended the London Film School for a course in film directing.

‘Her Perfect Life’ follows the story of Onajite Johnson-Ibrahim, a 39-year-old career woman who owns a growing business; has a husband and two kids but decides to “end it all” in her battle with mental illness.

The film stars Pearl Thusi, Joseph Benjamin, Omawunmi Dada, Uzo Osimpka, Christian Paul, and Mary Lazarus.

‘Iyawo Mi’, on the other hand, is a Yoruba language film that tells the story of Kunle, a family man who arrives home one night to find horror awaiting him.

Eniola, his wife, seems to have gone mad; hallucinating, screaming at their children and neighbours, and threatening to kill everyone.

Kunle takes matters into his own hands in a series of events that birth tragic consequences.

The film stars Adedimeji Lateef, Bolaji Ogunmola, Segun Arinze, and Jude Chukwuka.

Speaking about these titles, Abudu said: “I believe in learning and understanding any major assignment I undertake. Directing is an art form that takes years to master, so I’m beginning with baby steps.

“I have written two short films that I will be directing.

“Although these stories are fictional, they highlight the mental health challenges, hardly spoken about in Nigerian society, that many people deal with all over the world.

“Mental health issues can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, income, or social class, and they are on the increase.”

As an executive producer, Abudu has created a number of critically acclaimed Nollywood films including ‘The Wedding Party’, ‘Chief Daddy’, ‘Your Excellency’, and ’The Royal Hibiscus Hotel’.

As part of a major deal with Netflix, her successes include ‘Castle & Castle’, ‘Oloture’, and ‘Blood Sisters’.

Portable, the controversial singer, has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly failing to pay the debt he incurred after purchasing his G-Wagon from a car dealer.

The singer, born Habeeb Okikiola, was apprehended on Tuesday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police spokesperson, told TheCable Lifestyle.

“Yes, Portable has been arrested,” Hundeyin said.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was said to have bought the vehicle worth N27 million but paid only N13 million.

Portable allegedly refused to pay the remaining N14 million and whenever the car dealer requested for his money, he always claimed the vehicle was having issues.

The singer purchased the car last year and was once seen using the vehicle to distribute food items to children on the streets.

This is not the first time Portable will be arrested by the police. In March last year, the Ogun police arrested the singer over alleged assault.

The arrest came after the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to turn himself in.

The singer previously resisted attempts by the police to arrest him and also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.
