A new movie, 20 Pound Dream, from TED fellow and Nollywood director, Andy Amadi Okoroafor is now streaming on Showmax.
The film features Gideon Okeke as Kene, who owns a Kung Fu studio in Nnewi, He is a disappointment to his family who wants him to help his father run the trading and manufacturing business he founded on a 20 pound dream after the Biafran War.
Kene’s lover, Nnenna (Chioma Idigo from Halita), convinces him to take a job as a police department informant at the other end of the world: Yokohama, Japan. The Afro-Chinese triad is making inroads into the ports there, so the police need a fresh face who has never been to Japan before, someone they can mould discreetly into their force as a ghost to the community.
In Yokohama, Kene is lost, badly informed and ill prepared for what he needs to do as an informant. He is also soon torn between his long distance relationship with Nnenna and the possibility of a new life with Mio (Tomoko Hayakawa) in Yokohama. His police work and its bloody consequences will take him to the darkest part of himself and back home to Nnewi for revenge.
“It’s a film about self-discovery, destiny, choice and how family can be the catalyst for the good and the bad that eventually happens to us,” Andy Okoroafor says. “Kene’s life and dreams are far away from the 20 pound dream his father and uncle restarted their lives with after the Biafran war, but, as we will discover, everything is tied to that dream.”
Shot on two continents, in Yokohama, Enugu, Nnewi, Onitsha, and Awka, the arthouse drama also stars Africa Movie Academy Awards’ nominees, Obi Okoli (Men on Hard Way), Tina Mba (The Set Up, Isoken), and Swanky JK (Living in Bondage); Senegalese Cesar nominee, Aissa Maiga (The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, The African Doctor); and Japanese cast, Kenjiro Otani and Shinsho Nakamaru.
Andy and Gideon previously worked together on the 2010 film Relentless, also starring Jimmy-Jean Louis (the Haitian in Heroes) and Nneka, which opened the Africa International Film Festival and screened at the BFI London Film Festival.
Meanwhile, fans of Yoruba movies can now catch some of the biggest actors including Odunlade Adekola, Wumi Toriola, Bimpe Oyebade, Kemi Afolabi and many more on Showmax.

Now, there’s a new blockbuster movie on Showmax every weeknight including Torera, Omo Williams, Kumapayi, Wasted, Imisi, Irele, Lucifer, Iran Meta, and Eji Owura. The movies air every Saturday at 19:00hr and Sunday at 19:30hr, plus episodes of Battleground everyday of the week at 18:00hr, and don’t miss Mr and Mrs Kogeregbe from December at 11:05hr every weekday.
Speaking about the addition of the pop-up live stream, Yolisa Phahle says, “We wanted to give our Nigerian subscribers even more value this December and a pop-up live stream of popular family channel Africa Magic Yoruba is ideal for the festive season.”
The Africa Magic Yoruba pop-up live stream will be available throughout December and into the New Year.

PDP may lose 2023 election if.. -Bode George ...Urges party to move convention to Lagos By Chinelo Obogo Former National Vice Chairman (South West) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned the party against accepting the congress carried out by its former Lagos State chairman, Deji Doherty, saying the court ruling against him may cost the party the elections. In a press conference at his Ikoyi office on Monday, George said Lagos State High Court had last year ruled against Doherty and reinstated former caretaker chairman of the part in the state, Adegbola Dominic, as the legitimate chairman. He said if the party accepts the executive produced at the congress carried out by Doherty, it risks losing the election. He also urged the PDP to move its national convention which is scheduled to take place on May 28 and 29 from Abuja to Lagos due to the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would also hold theirs at the same venue on 30 and 31. "It is important to point out that Deji Doherty was removed by a court of competent jurisdiction, therefore any congress he conducts is null and void under the law. It will be better to avoid any of the candidates that emerged from the congress he conducted so that in future, no one will tell you that the election is illegal. "I want to use this medium to speak on the venue for the convention. APC wants to hold their national convention on May 30 and 31 and we are holding ours on May 28 and 29 in Abuja. How is that possible? People would arrive for the PDP convention two or three days before the day and APC delegates would also arrive few days before theirs. This could create confusion which would be disastrous for us. "Because we want to impact positively in the minds of Nigerians that we are better managers without encumbrances, to move our convention from Abuja to Lagos. Which tribe in Nigeria does not reside in Lagos? If you want to fly or come by water or road, you would get here. There are many hotels, from one star to five star. Holding it in Lagos would completely cut off any plans by the APC to want to scuttle our convention. "On the issue of zoning, a memo was done and the first paragraph of that communique identified that zoning and rotation remain absolutely sacrosanct in PDP. It remained the cultural and political spinal chord of our party. In other words, people should not think that we have forgotten zoning. It remains very important in our party. "It now went further to state that the former managers of our party, when they should have announced zoning to decide whether the presidential candidate should go to either the north or the south. But because they didn't do that, everybody came out. Now that we are few weeks to the convention, would it right for the party to now say this person can contest or this person cannot contest. "People have started campaigning, even members of the same family and you cannot rob Peter to pay Paul. How would you tell those who have been spending money and time not to contest because you have zoned it? How would they feel? A divided party would be a defeated party. "On this basis, i appeal to everyone to cool their tempers and let us go to the game. I know that this is something that has never happened in our party. On the day of thr convention, all the six geo political zones will present presidential aspirants and you can see that we need God's intervention. We need a man who will put Nigeria before himself and would without fear or favour and irrespective of your religion. I believe so much in prayers so we should forget what has happened. It is a new experience. The ability of our party to rise above that would be a measure of conviction to the electorate that we are better managers," he said.
