AKOKO, which literally means “Time”, narrates the story of a young and talented man who struggles to live at all costs because his destiny rests in the hands of a specific time, and his fortune is on the verge of extinction.

Product of advanced cinematography

Speaking on the movie, Onike, the lead actor, described the production process as “tough” because the cast and crew wanted to give the viewers a perfect “uncommon storyline” they could quickly relate to.

He emphasised that apart from the plot, which will “definitely catch the attention of the audience right from the beginning till the end”, Akoko was produced using advanced cinematography and modern storytelling to capture the essence of life and the different challenges people face in the tapestry of life.

“It's an excellent movie which has quality pictures, clear and quality sound, and perfect script interpretation by the actors… I'm delighted for getting the mission accomplished,” he told LEGIT.ng.

Nollywood getting recognition it deserves

Onike also extolled the great efforts currently channelled toward filmmaking in Nigeria.

According to him, the Nigerian filmmaking industry was off the radar in the past, but the use of advanced cinematography and fine storytelling to capture international audiences really made the difference.

“Apparently, the Nollywood industry is currently getting the accolades it deserves, unlike some years back. I will attribute this to uniqueness and discovering what the targeted audience in the global movie market really wants,” he submitted.
