Nollywood actor and producer, Femi Adebayo has said love that conquers all and Nigeria’s rich culture was showcased in his much talked about movie, ‘Seven Doors’.
Femi who has other production credits such as Diamonds in the Sky, “Survival of Jelili”, “Ile Alayo”, “Etiko Onigedu”, further revealed that his latest production is inspired by the travails of a traditional ruler friend.
Speaking in an encounter with Saturday Beats, he said, “It is extremely important to preserve our culture. Creating content— films— (woven) around the beauty of our culture is one of the ways of preserving it, so that the generations yet unborn can also enjoy it and be educated.
“I was fortunate to be close to a particular king, and it was what he went through that provoked the idea and concept of ‘Seven Doors’. Many people see our kings as mini-gods, which they are, but they forget that they are humans with blood running in their veins too. So, they(kings) face a lot before and after they get on the throne. And, that is what we displayed in the movie.”
“I also want to preach that love is above all. So, where we have a conflict between love and tradition, automatically it is love that wins,” he was quoted as saying.
