WALE ADENUGA SPEAKS ON NNENA AND FRIENDS

After a successful debut of Nnena and friends TV show, the popular edutainment programme from Wale Adenuga Productions (WAP), now showing in about 30 stations across the nation, tongues are beginning to wag that Wale Adenuga, the veteran and famous entertainment merchant is bigger than children programs.

In response to this, Wale Adenuga said, ‘a lot of people have ignored the children programmes because it is not as lucrative as the adult programmes, but for me money is not everything. If you want to correct the ills in any society, you start with the minds of the young ones, before they grow old into the corrupt system. There are fewer children programme on TV right now and some of the few existing are foreign programmes bereft of African values. We need to restore moral values in the children and the TV is an easy route to achieve this. I believe the children are our future and I do not underestimate the importance of children; for these reasons I will keep investing in children programs’.

Recorded under High Definition Equipments, for better picture quality, Nnena and Friends TV programme is to be hosted by Olayinka Olukunga Rufus (Nnena) and it contains segment such as drama, interviews, storytelling, counselling, music, arts and crafts, African culture and traditions, fashion and tourism and others.

Nnena and Friends sprang up after Yinka Olukunga played the role of Nnena in one of the popular soaps of Wale Adenuga Production (WAP), Superstory. Her character evolved into an entertainment brand with wide followership. The yearly Nnena and Friends shows has become the delight of so many children and this show is what has transcended into a TV programme.
Obviously long awaited, Nnena and Friends TV show has been enjoying a lot of followership in just about two weeks of its existence.

With star-studded clip, popularity and reputation many are asking if the coming together of these three ‘giants’ in their own right can guarantee a cinema success. ‘I am sure the movie will do well commercial wise even though money was not our objective. We wanted to shoot a movie with strong message and high cinematic standard. We did everything right and with right cast, the cinema audience will embrace it’.

As a sign of not leaving anything unturned, the movie will be opening in all cinema across Nigeria and Ghana at simultaneously, that would be the first time a movie will be opening same time across the West African countries.

The Perfect Church is the story of a church with perfect reputation and holy people with unholy secret. Pastor Benson (Ramsey) presides over the church, Sis Angela (Funke) leads the choir while Mr and Mrs. Ojo (Hakeem and Ngozi) are the elders. Their lives are perfect until Bishop Williams (Olu Jacobs) comes to deliver a confusing vision. All hell was let loose and lives and reputation are sacrificed.
