Kemi Adetiba's King of Boys




 

Let's talk Kemi Adetiba. My respect for her grew after watching The Wedding Party 1 which was her first feature film and the King Women series which featured extraordinary women like Taiwo Ajayi Lycett, Tara Fela-Durotoye, TY Bello, Olajumoke Adenowo and co. 

The Wedding Party was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was the first movie to surpass the $1.3 million mark in the Nigerian box office and is currently the highest grossing film in Nigeria.

Kemi began her education at Corona School, Lagos. Her father, Dele Adetiba is a renowned advertising and media veteran. Kemi Adetiba's media journey began at a young age where she headlined two national television commercials for the iconic detergent brand, OMO. Though Kemi is a Law School graduate, she has excelled in entertainment in Nigeria and sub-saharan Africa. She made a transition from being a voice on the radio, to becoming a face on TV producing and presenting popular shows on Mnet, which includes Studio 53, etc. 

Kemi enrolled at the New York Film Academy a while ago, to learn the ropes about being being behind the camera.

King of Boys is her latest movie. I have kept tabs on the progress of this soon to be released movie. Kemi has worked hard and tirelessly on this movie. Co produced by Remi Adetiba and Kene Okwuosa, King of Boys follows the story of Alhaja Eniola Salami,a businesswoman and philanthropist with a checkered past and a promising political future. As her political ambitions see her outgrowing the underworld connections responsible for her wealth, she will need every strength she can muster, as well as the strategy that led her to the top to come out strong in the power struggle. The questions is, who can she trust? This movie will be released in Nigerian Cinemas on October 26th.

One of the things I've observed if you want a movie to sell tremendously at the movie theaters is to hype it as much as you can using all the socia media channels and non -social media channels available. King of Boys has been hyped and I cannot wait to watch this movie.
Have you seen the movie trailer? What do you think? Will you be at the movies to see it?

Cheerio.....

A little Update From Me

Hello there!! Happy New Year!!!  I say Happy New Year because I've been away from this blog for so long. :-(  I can't get past the fact that it was the new year just a few months ago. I remember going to church for the crossover service into the new year. It was my first in-person crossover service in 7 years. If you don't know what a crossover service is, ask any Nigerian. :-) 2023 was a few hours away, and my mind ran over the events in 2022. I thought about my wins, like moving to a new state, settling in, getting a job promotion, etc. I thought about how I got sick and felt like life was leaving me to being well again. People went forward to share their testimonies, and I felt I was supposed to be out there proclaiming God's goodness to me. "I'm sorry, Lord," I muttered. "Thank you for everything." A few hours later, everyone said "Happy New Year" with glee and excitement. "2023... Please be good to me." I th...

BIBI - CHAPTER 17

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you Several months later….. **** Pere removed his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. He thought about Nneoma. It had been months since he had seen her. He had reached out to her and tried to see her, but she had refused to pick up his calls. Eventually, she blocked his number, and he saw red. He had had enough. Today, he decided to go to her office to see her. A thousand thoughts crossed his mind. What if she wasn’t at the office? What if she had traveled? “Kade, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said to their office assistant and headed out. “I’m here to see Ms. Nneoma Odili.” He said to the receptionist. “Is she expecting you?” “No.” He replied curtly. “What is your name?” The lady asked. “Pere is my name.” He answered. “She’s not at her desk.” The receptionist said to him after calling Nneoma's secretary. “Wow! But do you know if she’s in the office today?” ...

BIBI - CHAPTER 16

  I t was a rainy Monday morning, and Lara was frustrated by all the traffic. That was one thing she missed about London. Fast and reliable transportation that got you where you were going without hassles. She was cranky by the time she arrived at the office that morning. It didn’t also help that she didn’t have a good night’s sleep. She placed her bag under her desk and sighed. Kofo, her admin assistant, walked up to her. “Good morning, madam. Your first meeting with the people from Duchess Group is in forty minutes.” Lara squinted and then nodded. She hadn’t yet turned on her computer. “Thanks, Kofo. Yes, I know.” “Can I get you anything?” “Yes, please. My regular morning fix.” Lara smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right back,” Kofo replied. She liked her new assistant a lot. In the short time since she had known her, Kofo had proven to be reliable. She honestly didn’t know what she would do without her these days. After getting her morning fix, a cup of coffee, and egg sandwic...
