The Bottled Leopard The Burning Grass by Crypian Ekwensi. Awesome book. definitely worth an adaptation Mallam Illiad's Passport. Another gem by Crypian Ekwensi Then there was this book i read about some investigative journalist that was drugged by some evil scheming politician and brainwashed and commanded to assasinate his twin. Something along that line. Can't remember the name or the author The Last Duty. Or something like that. About the Biafran war. Lovely book. Told in first person narrative from different characters. A book worth adapting to the big screen Igbo Irunmole (I dunno if this is the full name) |

semid4lyfe: you are not completely right, from what you said, so there should be no movies for kid/adolescent? Why if I may ask? for your information, more than 50% of Nigerian population falls into the demographics you so carelessly dismissed. Do you know that schools take their pupils for excursions? To places like fast food outlets! It that an excursion? But they could be taken to go watch a movie based on what are used for education - Chike and the River!!! |

A lot of books mentioned here are good enough for adaptation but personally I would love to see film based on experiences of important parts in history like: Queen Amina of Zaria The Aba women riot Nigerian civil war The life of Nigerian soilders and families Etc These stories must be well researched and detailed: casting must be held too not random selection. And I would love a film based on folklores like the story of the girl whose step mother sent her to a spirit world to fetch water: it has an Alice in wonderland and Cinderalla feel. Nigeria is made up of more than 250 ethnic groups. That means we have a lot of diverse stories to tell. |
