‘Lugard’ Is One Of My Best Movies Of All Times – Gabriel Afolayan
Popular actor, Gabriel Afolayan has said the movie; Lugard is one of his best movies of all time.
Gabriel who made this known in a press statement said that, “I like my role in Lugard. I can boldly say it is one of my best jobs ever. It was such a strong movie. The story is a story that pulls you at the very centre of your heart. It is about love, cultism, and youths.
“The performance is out of the world. The crew members are some of the best hands in the country and my co-actors are great as you already know most of them. I really like this film. It is a movie on serious performance, great quality and entertainment. The audience will really like this one.”
Lugard the movie tells the intriguing story of an intelligent New Entry University student who was initiated into cultism due to his intimidating brain power. After his first assignment which led to the death of a rival confraternity leader, Lugard’s life is being hunted.
The movie features top Nollywood stars such as Gabriel Afolayan, Kehinde Bankole, Adeniyi Johnson, Hafiz ‘Saka’ Oyetoro, Debo ‘Mr Macaroni’ Adebayo, Omowunmi Dada, Zack Orji, Norbert Young, Laduba Quadri Qidad, Kalu Ikeagwu, Tunji Adeyemo among others.
The heavily performance-driven movie was directed by one of Nigeria’s top directors, Tunde Olaoye and written by Laduba Quadri Qidad and Segun Akejeje.
Speaking on the movie, the executive producer, Hakeem Olageshin disclosed that, “when I speak about Lugard the movie, it gives me so much joy to see the beautiful piece of art my team and I put together. Cultism and confraternity still remain a big issue in this part of the world as the original reason why they were created have been completely altered for violence and other humiliating selfish interest that exactly inspired this intriguing story. I would really love everyone to storm the cinemas on the 27th of August because LUGARD the movie is a must-see for everyone.”
Lugard is a production of 3 Knights Film Production in conjunction with B5Films and Monomania Entertainment. It will be in cinemas across Nigeria from August 27, 2021.
