Director Statement

In Ibadan was written as a personal note about me and my friends, living in the ancient city, but juggling relationships and career opportunities in Lagos. As an ode to Ibadan, I decidedly constructed this picture with deep and slow contemplation, thus, representative of the real divide between the two cities, but also attempting to capture the ennui of broken hearts and dreams.

As my first feature film, made with help from my closest friends with no budget.
I hope it succeeds in exposing the diversity of talents of an underground community of cinephiles and independent filmmakers from Ibadan, Nigeria.
