Obi Emelonye taking on IBB...a biopic film

Former military leader of Nigeria, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who presided over the cancellation of that controversial June 12, presidential election won by late MKO Abiola, will be in the public domain again to give account of his evil days in office.
Award-winning film maker, Obi Emelonye announced earlier this week, his plans to commence production of " Badamasi", a biopic film on the former military leader.
Pre-production for" Badamasi"is scheduled to begin next month and will run till June, 2017.
Intimating the press earlier in the week, about the project, Emelonye, who flew into the country from London, said, "Badamasi" is a story of Love, war, politics, violence, diplomacy, coups, corruption and governance laced with heavy dose of Machiavellian intrigue. He said, his decision to embark on this project is informed by the need to profile a Nigerian leader in a historical faithful biographical film , a treatment that has been meted out to other African leaders like Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba and Idi Amin of Uganda.
"The time has come for Nigerians to start telling their stories. This journey started in 2012 when I watched Mandela. As I watched it, I felt proud as an African. As Nigerians, we have several historical figures who haven’t been immortalised on the big and small screens for the world to see,’ he narrated.
The Badamasi film project, according to Emelonye, is shaped to be hard-hitting, controversial but historically factual in its treatment of Ibrahim Babangida's rise from orphan obscurity to the zenith of Nigerian military power, in afraid of touching raw-nerves and being boldly revealing with the ultimate aim of giving the viewers unprecedented access into some of the most defining and controversial moments of Nigeria's journey to nationhood; from the civil war to the many coups, from the IBB years to June 12 saga.
