At least there's enough historical detail to base a plot on... but such a film is unlikely to be produced by Hollywood, and I doubt that African film makers have the technical expertise needed to bring this to full-blooded life.Atala Wala Walahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114929068065201283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540171.post-42206951160183491582007-01-31T19:15:00.000+00:002007-01-31T19:15:00.000+00:00Nkem,

It's a romantic comedy set in Africa for what its worth. My favourite bit is when the title character's wife is kidnapped by some nasty guys and he's telephoned and his wife is threatened with death if he doesn't pay some large sum of money, and he says , and I quote " Please kill her if that's what you want to do, I can always marry another wife........"
