It was a great moment as promised for the fans of Idris Elba at
the much talked about premiere of the Oscar buzzing “Beasts of no Nation” at
the Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, Lagos on Saturday, 12th of December,
as the movie debuted in Nigerian Cinemas on Friday, 11th of December,
2015.

Silverbird Cinemas, Victoria Island had Genevieve Nnaji, Dbanj, Okonjo
Iweala, Uzodinma Iweala, Beverly Naya, Abraham Attah, Juliet Ibrahim, Nse
Ikpe-Etim, Linda Ejiofor, Makida Moka, Emmanuel Ikubese, Ben Bruce among others in attendance. Idris Elba has
been promoting the movie in other countries and the historical movement finally
came to Nigeria.
In correction of the errors
in previous releases, Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer in Netflix Inc.,the
company that owns and markets ‘Beasts of no Nation’, described the movie as a
disruptive success, as the movie has already been seen by three million
viewers, not three hundred million viewers, as erroneously published
previously.
‘Beasts of no Nation’ is based on the well acclaimed 2005 novel of
the same title by the Nigerian-American author, Uzodinma Iweala who was also at
the premiere, and was named by Oprah Winfrey, as one of her favourite books.
Iweala also co-produced the movie.
