$10 Million HALF OF A YELLOW SUN finally Secures Nigerian Release Date

For those in Nigeria who have been following the developments surrounding the film adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’sHalf of A Yellow Sunwhich reportedly cost about $10 Million to make, you should mark your calendars and save the date as the movie now has a release date for Nigerian cinemas – April 12th. Half of a Yellow Sun follows Olanna (Newton) and Kainene (Rose), glamorous twins from a wealthy Nigerian family. Returning to a privileged city life in newly independent 1960s Nigeria after their expensive English education, Olanna shocks her family by going to live with her lover in the dusty university town of Nsukka, and Kainene turns out to be a successful businesswoman when she takes over the family interests — and surprises herself when she falls in love with Richard (Mawle), an English writer. The Nigerian release date for the movie comes after the movie has been released in Australia on the 27th of March and in the United Kingdom on the 11th of April. The exact release date of the movie in the United States is yet to be announced.

Phyno – Alobam + Authe ft Flavour + Icholiya ft M.I & Ice Prince


Phyno NGNG Tracklist

Phyno has found a way to attract multiple non-igbo speaking fans including myself to consume, enjoy and recite his music even though we don’t know what his lyrics actually mean.
On Alobam, his flow just draws you in from start to finish and you find yourself recitingAlobam when the chorus comes on. In Authe (Authentic) he hooks up with highlife rock-star Flavour and delivers a fine mid-tempo track. Phyno then gets the Choc boyz Ice Prince and M.I on the catchy Icholiya single.
I encourage everyone to get the album.
