Rare Edge Media
the producers of flagship television shows such as Aajiirebi, Awon Aladun De, Family First and Akoni Obinrin is
currently on location to produce another ground breaking television show; Borokini
The Telenovela which started principal photography on the 22nd
December 2017.
The production parades an amalgam of sterling performers,
veterans and quintessential Nollywood stars such as Taiwo Ibikunle, Tunde
Oladimeji, Jaiye Kuti, Bimbo Oshin, Akin Lewis, Antar Laniyan, Alex Osifo, Ebun
Oloyede (Olaiya Igwe) and Yemi Solade who recently turned 58 while on set of Borokini
The Telenovela.
Borokini captures the story of three elite friends and business partners; Laolu Deji and Supo who go through different journeys and travails in their families, careers and aspirations. The story takes us through the trio’s connecting travesties in strengths and weakness. Borokini is a masterfully told story of Laolu (Akin Lewis), an extremely ambitious industrialist who wants to be king of his hometown Pakuro at all costs, Deji (Antar Laniyan), a calm looking University Professor who sleeps with Laolu’s wife Yetunde (Bimbo Oshin) to help make babies for him. Supo (Yemi Solade), on the other hand is a wifeless, carefree Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court who loves the fast life and wants to be Governor of his state. Their lives seem to have a semblance of calm till an old friend and brother simply referred to as Major (Alex Osifo), having retired from the military at that rank, miraculously returns, to the shock of the three friends who having presumed him dead in a car crash proceeds to appropriate his share of their oil business to themselves neglecting Major’s family completely. Major’s return set about a lot of disturbance in the trio’s life. Thus, their interactions with themselves and all those connected to them is filled with various dramas of romance, intrigues, betrayal and above all murder as each try to survive in the labyrinth of chaos which characterize the typical life of the upper-class elites. The ingredient of this storyline such as crime, romance, glamour, power play and intrigue is believed will ensure that the audience have fun and learn a few things during its broadcast run.
Just like the
other projects from Rare Edge Media, Borokini The Telenovela also
provides the platform for emerging talents via a careful admixture of various
other young actors hitherto unknown, some of whom are trying out their acting
skills for the first time; hence Rare Edge Media is using this production
platform as a proper mentoring tool for young people thereby creating
opportunity for young and emerging actors to work with established names in the
industry and the result is a high end enjoyable, entertaining and educative
drama show which is expected to be able to retain audience discussion for as
long as possible.
In addition to
the usual quality differentiations in production design, story craft and cast
selection, Rare Edge Media has set another record within the Yoruba genre of
productions viz the production of 120 episodes of television drama in one
production schedule swoop. Although other Yoruba television dramas have reached
and surpassed the target 120 episodes, no Yoruba television drama producer has
produced 120 episodes of television drama at once. This goal is herculean and
capital intensive but that is what Rare Edge Media has set out to do with Borokini
The Telenovela and the testifier to its possibility is the fact that we
are all here today to witness the end of the first block of 30 episodes.
This statement
will be incomplete without extending appreciation to the entire production team
(cast and crew) who have been extremely cooperative thus making the first block
shoot almost a walk in the park and as we proceed to the next block of 30 episodes,
we look forward to an improvement in this cooperation.
Also gratitude
is expressed to individuals who availed us the use of their properties and
materials for the shoot while not forgetting corporate entities such as AIT Ibadan, RayPower FM Ibadan, Neptune
Fingerlicking Lounge, Blossom Court Apartments, The Oyo State Judiciary, JOT
Hotels, Kriss Court Hotel, Otunba Davies, M-One Securities, Jolamade Hospital,
The University of Ibadan and many others too numerous to mention who
inconvenienced their normal business routine so that filming could happen on
their facilities.
It is
particularly inspiring that this epoch-making production is being filmed in
Ibadan Oyo state in line with the current dispensation’s transformation agenda;
this is Rare Edge Media’s small quota in contributing towards the development
of its resident state and a passive collaborative venture with the Ministries
of Information, Arts and Culture as well as that of Youths and Sports
Development on two fronts:
1. Playing up Ibadan and Oyo
state in the culture and entertainment industry but mostly cultural promotion
in quality project delivery as evident in the choice of production language and
culture set, Yoruba in lieu of English.
2. Creating a platform of
professional expression for young people within the Oyo state economy
On a final note,
Rare Edge Media invites all stake holders in Oyo state and beyond to get on
board through whatever means they can and associate with the success story
which it is evident that Borokini The Telenovela brand is set
to be.
God bless
Ibadan!
God bless Oyo
State!!
God bless
Nigeria!!!
God bless us
all!!!
