<![CDATA[Movie lovers in Nigeria, over the weekend, witnessed the premiere of ‘Single & Married’, produced by Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson. On Friday evening, the movie made an entry into Nigerian cinemas with the premiere at the Silverbird Cinema, Galleria, located in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos.
The ceremony attracted hundreds of Nigeria movie fans and Nigerian media, who trooped to the cinema to movie, directed by Pascal Amanfo. Most of the movie’s scenes were greeted with laughter and cheering in enthusiasm. The premiere ended applauds from some of the audience.
Also adding to the colourful premiering event was the number of Ghanaian celebrities who graced the red carpet. Yvonne Okoro, Majid Michel, Prince David Osei, Eddie Watson, Fred Nuamah, songstresses Efya and Irene Logan and Fashion 101 anchor Sandra Ankorbiah were all at the red carpet event to support Yvonne Nelson. Ahead of the premiere, the celebrities visited some of Nigeria’s influential media houses including Silverbird TV in Lagos, Rhythm FM and Cool FM. It was quite interesting how the Ghanaian celebrities shook the airwaves. There were a few azonto moments when Efya and host of the late Friday morning show on Cool FM gave some steps in the studio while other celebrities applauded them.
Yvonne Nelson is expected to tour Africa with the movie, following reports that some African countries can’t wait to see the movie and meet her and the cast. The movie, narrated by Anita Erskine, delves into the intricacies of marriage and the challenges of being single, with focus on young adults. The storyline raised serious issues about why spouses cheat on their partners and how to stop them. But it was told in a rather subtle, entertaining way.
