I think the pricing works well in Nigeria because of the nature of showbiz there. Be seen or be square...they may as well exploit that to recoup costs. I have to say though, I don't think it would have worked elsewhere. i.e. UK/US

Well, I hope everyone will have their poker faces full on and not air any side business there, this is a big feat for Poms and Ms. Boyo - inspite of side swipes, they've made it happen in what seems to promise to be a major to do.

Kudos, ladies!!! Make dat cheddah!

Trust me, money is a great unifier

Luckily, some of us dont try to feel among so that we can be counted among the movers and shakers of society. :

Pompom, I wish you all the best, my sis.

U dey mind them? The buzz the movie is making here in naija not joke O! Especially in the political circle. ......I for go watch am again today if to say I been no get something that tied me down, abeg, E don reach two years wey I don see Chet yansh for the movie when we been watch teh premiere for MD.

30 DAYS NIGERIAN PREMIERE
It held at the Expo Hall of Ocean view restaurant and had so many in attendance. I didn’t see the full movie cos I left at the middle to do some interviews, my producer called me to come interview some stars (lol, just kidding, na the camera guy call me oh, am acting cheesy right? Don’t mind me; I would soon get over it).
I could see that people came knowing this wasn’t just any Nigerian movie, even though they hadn’t seen anything from Mildred okwo before, they had seen good stuffs from Ego Boyo and knew she could only be associated with class and quality.
Synopsis; Revolves around a notorious female gang killing off corrupt politicians one after the other and the country is in jeopardy. The president (Gbenga Richards) is worried and gives the Commissioner of Police (Segun Arinze) and the minister (Joke Silva) 30 days to get to the roots of the killers. A young man, Nigerian American, ken Alumona (CBA) embarks on a 30days trip and is embroiled in the whole fiasco. He meets and falls in love with Chinora Onu (Genny), the leader of FRACA the deadly gang. 30days is filled with romance, deceit, intrigue, and action. It’s written and directed by Mildred Okwo, produced by Ego Boyo and Mildred Okwo.
I have some highlights…CBA is a great actor, out of this planet, out of the kitchen, fresh and he swallowed his character. There was something different about Genny’s performance that was different from all the movies, above all, I could believe everything happening…it felt real and this is advanced nollywood. My favorite xter is Najite, the fight scenes where she dropped her gun and killed the man with her bare hands, people clapped. Good to know that some sensible newbie film maker like Mildred exists and 30days is unpredictable, that’s the unique part you can’t take away from it.
Najite and CBA were my highlights of the movie followed by Gbenga Richards who cracked me up and so many others with his comic delivery of the president who spoke like Obasanjo. Ekwi wasn’t bad and Genny was fresh like an old wine. Joke silva never disappoints and the made use of a good team. How could I forget Iyabo Amoke who gave a good account of herself, from her first scene, I was like, damn, who is she? Shola Ashedeko (Abeni) played a small role; I didn’t even hear her talk. Since 30days was shot like three years back, that’s understandable.
Nkiru Alanta who also played Rahila was brilliant and never disappointed me just like in Doctors’s quarters , she played the tough girl well and they all looked deadly, I could imagine the whole things going on and it was a wonderful pairing, I wanna see more movies like this. Do you know how it feels to see the same class of people who say “I don’t watch Nigerian movies” come out to see 30days and they gave a positive reaction, it was taken seriously and I couldn’t believe we were all seated watching a Nigerian movie.
The sex scenes with Genny and CBA wasn’t as raunchy as I read, its either it was edited or the raunchy part was shown when I missed the movie to do the interviews with Joke Silva during the movie.
The beautiful part was the rendition of lines no matter how simple, I liked the part where CBA said ‘This is one trip I should have avoided”, that guy is a natural (lol).
Actors at the premiere were Chet Anekwe (CBA), Kate Henshaw, kalu Ikeagwu, Najite Dede, Segun Arinze, Ekwi Onwumene, Susan Peters, Ali Baba, Joke Silva, Ego Boyo. Producers like Emem Isong, Teco Benson were also there.
30 days is the movie to buy, keep and watch, it’s coming out sooner than you think and so guys that’s it. I had fun abi, it’s good to let your hair down one In a while.
