According to her “It might seem, to some, insensitive to be previewing this movie at such a time as this, but I beg to differ. When our very way of life is threatened, this is the sort of thing we should do to remind ourselves that we will not give into anything that would threaten its continuance. So we brought this movie for simple reasons; to make you all laugh and relax those minds and bodies that are ever working. Remember, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull”.
Speaking further Omoni said “As much as we may be apprehensive about all the issues that we are going through now, the worst thing would be to see our leader and President look worried too. We want to look to you for strength. That smile that assures us that soon, sooner than you think, the agony of insurgency and all other issues will be over.”
‘Being Mrs Elliott’ is the story of a successfully married woman, who was torn between two worlds after a life changing incident. She found out that the best life has to offer are not things but moments. The movie would be in cinemas across the country soon.
President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Ben Bruce, Chief Edem Duke and Governor Mimiko were among those who commended the movie high quality of the movie.See more photos below.
