The 300+-page book is filled with enriched information, personal recollections, detailed fact-checking of many of the major works of Nigeria’s movie and theatre stars across the ages. It also includes some never-before-seen photographs provided by these actors or their family members and associates for those who have moved on. 

The author says that the book is “an anthology, a collection of my thoughts, observations, and sentiments during more than three decades chronicling the Nigerian entertainment industries as a journalist, critic, and systemic rewarder.”

Reflections will be launched at an exclusive virtual gathering on the same day; hosted by the Culture Advocates Caucus, CAC led by former editor of The Guardian on Sunday and culture curator, Jahman Anikulapo.

Niran Adedokun,  a writer, PR practitioner, journalist and author of “The Danfo Driver in All of Us’, states that the book is “breezy without being pedestrian and intellectual without alienating any reader who seeks knowledge. This book at once, sets the records straight, venerates those to whom honour is due and inspires opportunities for further scholarship on the subject matter. It is recommended for everyone whose feet itch for a role in the variety of opportunities that the Nigerian film industry offers.”

“What Reflections captures in snackable bites, divided into seven chapters, are the profiles of the luminaries whose radical thinking and struggles manifested in the shining beacon now called Nollywood,” Sola Osofisan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Africanwriter.com, enthused.

Reflections is available for pre-order at $2.99 (N1,495) on Amazon and wixsite till June 15, and will thereafter be sold for $9.99 (N4,995).
