Nine teenage boys in the Nigerian city of Kaduna started experimenting with making sci-fi films in 2016.
They borrowed smartphones from family members, and made tripods out of wood.
Three years later, their first short film became a sensation, drawing the attention of millions of people, including Hollywood Stars.
The BBC’s Damilola Oduolowu met the young film-makers in Nigeria to hear their story.

Producing and developing talent should not be exclusive to the rich and wealthy. It exists everywhere, and our world needs it.

USA makes the historically important movies - so most film talent is drawn to Hollywood = top film talent is EXCLUSIVE to America 🗽🗽🗽 But Sci Fi from anywhere is welcome - Sci Fi is good for the imagination = leads to technological progress ✈🚀🛸

hello, Mrs. Jay Flora, I am the son of the former prime minister of the kingdom of southwestern Nigeria. My father General Adam Khamees II J. he died under mysterious circumstances leaving $ 100 million in a Swiss account in London in eastern Scotland. If you help me I can donate 10% of this great treasure, soon I will send you the number where to send his money. Jay was born a love between us we could enjoy the treasure on the warm beaches of the Himalayas, a kiss from your Ladi Larai Khamees III.

The African continent would still be in the stone age technologically if the Colonisers didn't introduce European inventions and Science. Maybe due to increased interest in Sci Fi, will encourage more investment in Science in African Universities; and change the bleak outlook for the continent.

@Ampaomike 2 года назад

It was used to be, from Ancient Egypt and many more far developed countries in Africa are forgotten before they went downhill in modern era. They will be one of Superpower countries by now than America and China if they didn't become poor and corruption. The colonization in ancient era did just fucked up their whole continent forever
