Today June 20, 2018 is the birthday of Africa’s most consistent producer, Lancelot Oduwarene Imasuen and his colleagues are all over the space celebrating this African finest.
One of those colleagues, Francis Onwochei, wrote a heartfelt message about him and its worth sharing;
He said; “You can not encounter a man like lancelot Oduwa Imasuen and not go away with more than a passing interest.”
“Like him or hate him you have to admit that he has distinguished himself in the motion picture environment in Nigeria (Nollywood ) from his intro days in the late 90s as a producer and a director with films Like YESTERDAY, YEAR 2000 and several other titles to his credit.”
“He came to full stardom with his magical commercial success of the ISSAKABA series.”
“As a director Lancelot competes favourably with some well established actors in terms of name recognition.” De Guv, as he is fondly called by colleagues and associates is one of the most travelled directors in Nigeria.”
“Unlike most producers, Oduwa Imasuen ensures to premiere his films in UK Europe and most parts of America.”
“Only few years ago, his high budget movie INVASION 1897 made a most significant impact around the globe.”
“A dotting father, loving husband and true son of the Benin Kingdom. Today, as CEO of Lancewealth films, he stands firmly as an important quotient in Nollywood.”
“I Francis Onwochei fta join all Nigerians particularly fellow practitioners in Nollywood to congratulate and celebrate my adopted “son” in the trade Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen.”
“Happy Birthday. May all your noble and heartfelt desires come to full manifestation to the Glory of your maker.”
