Uzodinma Iweala, the illustrious son of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Finance Minister of Nigeria has made history!
The prize winning Nigerian Author's multiple award winning 2005 first novel "Beasts of No Nation" has become Netflix's first film for cinemas.

The film adaptation and screenplay of the gripping war drama was done by Cary Fukunaga who is also the director of the thriller. Netflix bought the worldwide distribution rights for about $12 million and will be released simultaneously in cinemas and online through its subscription video on demand service on October 16, 2015. Bleecker Street will handle the theatrical release of the film.

The title of "Beasts of No Nation" came from the 1989 album of the same name by the Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, who passed away on August 2, 1997.

The leading actors include Idris Elba playing the war lord "Commandant", Abraham Attah as "Agu", Ama K. Abebrese as "Mother", Richard Pepple as "Father Friday" and Opeyemi Fagbohungbe as "Sergeant Gaz". It was screened in the main competition section of the 72nd Venice International Film Festival and it has been selected to be shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. "Beasts of No Nation" is projected to be a box office hit to further boost the American film industry following one of the best summers ever at the domestic box office. - See more at: http://www.nigeriansreport.com/2015/09/nigerian-author-uzodinma-iwealas-novel.html#sthash.v7hqkZ9y.dpuf

I was here

That moment when Ngozi say that's my son.... kudos to him

Sweet
Not noise makers

Awesome

Lalasticlala, have you watched the movie?

Representing

useless boy,. son of a corrupt minister.. bring back our money!

Good for him, though it's no big deal for people like them born into wealthy families, they have everything going for them, just a little hard work and they are where they want.

Nice one!!! Kudos to Mr Iweala

In other news, Bubu is looking quite dapper here

Nice one..... Keep it up!

Wow God bless mother and son, I heard the family is also building a specialist hospital in Abuja, though I would have preferred they build it in their home town

......... And why are you addressing him as being 'useless'? With your type of mentality i don't think you can be half as successful as him. Bear in mind his mother was a Vice President at world bank before Jona brought her to his corrupt-filled, 'stealing is not corruption' government.... Assuming he is in the news for buying a Buggati or a Ferrari or partying wild abroad is when you can call him useless but right now, he is doing something positive for his life and future. There should be a limit of hate man, so you can be successful in life also.......... The mother will be probed and if guilty she will be going to jail......... Nice day!

Swaggzkid:
Good for him


Sounds coded to me , unlike these locally made home videos starring oke bakassi, Mr.ibu and the likes .


Btw;our Nigeria money which the mother stole has played a big role in this project

when kids are allowed to join social media, these are the kind of baseless rants that we ll be fed.

if he can get to that height being *useless* then I want to be *useless*.


NL is now boring that kids strut everywhere with their Barney and friends talk.

Saw the advert last week and Idris Elba killed his role as a warlord, especially with the Sierra Leonean accent.

Not a fan of Netflix but I might have to join to see what the movie is about. And Netflix has been killing it lately - so it won't be a bad idea.

Nice
