Nigerian Filmmaker To Shoot First-Ever Nollywood Movie On Moving Train

Rogers Ofime, an award-winning Nigerian filmmaker, has announced plans to shoot Nollywood’s first-ever movie on a moving train.

The project is going to be the first of its kind in Africa; the entire movie would be shot on a moving train, from its arrival, transit, and departure.

The movie would be shot at the Mobolaji Johnson Rail Station at Yaba Lagos State.

Ofime told newsmen in Lagos that 95-percent of the movie will be shot along the Lagos-Ibadan route.

The Lagos-Ibadan railway was inaugurated recently for a full paid operation by the Nigerian Railway Corporation after about a year of free test-run.

Ofime, best known for producing several notable Nigerian television soap operas, including ‘The Johnsons’, ‘Tinsel’ and ‘Hush’, announced that the film, titled, ‘Conversations in transit,’ would be shot in partnership with Nigeria Railway Cooperation.

Ofime, who is the executive producer of the movie, thanked the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Ameachi, MD/CEO of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, F.E Okhiria for allowing his team to partner with them and opening their facilities to the filmmakers.

Ofime, who has been producing movies for over a decade, hinted that the movie would showcase the infrastructural development in the transportation sector and Nigeria as a whole.
