‘Kokoro’ Olabisi Adeyemi to premiere star-studded new movie May 21
A movie production company, BlingDiamond Concept, is set to drop a new film, Kokoro, on May 21, 2022 in Lagos.
Kokoro, which was written and produced by Olabisi Adeyemi, is an intriguing story of love, betrayal and deceit. And to Adeyemi, the movie, shot in undiluted and rich Yoruba language, promises to be very entertaining and highly educative.
According to the storyline, Olabisi Adeyemi tells a story of two men’s struggle for the love of one woman.
“As you already know that, I just don’t produce movies for the sake of it. I love my job and I always ensure I take my time writing the scripts in order to ensure that all ingredients needed to make a very good movie are not missing.
“And Kokoro is no exception. Aside from making sure the story is tight, best thespians in the Nollywood industry acted in the project,” she said.
Fully subtitled in English, the movie features Olabisi Adeyemi herself, Akin Lewis, Saheed Balogun, Bimbo Oshin, Abiola Ajibike and Toyin Alausa.
Others include Jide Awobona, Mustapha Solagbade, Habibat Jinad, Kunle Omisore, Bukola Olatunji, Kazeem Adeshina and others.
Kokoro, co-produced by Olu Michael and directed by Saheed Abolaji Oscar, would be showing to an exclusive audience at the Blue Moon Events Centre with red carpet starting 1:00pm in the afternoon.
The full movie would be available on Apata TV Youtube channel after the event for general viewing.
“Kokoro is my fourth movie. I started movie production with the release of Okan Mimo, then Eni Ibi and followed by Ayami,” she disclosed.
Other side attractions at the movie premiere include music, dance and comedy.
Organisers of Real Talk With Kike have unveiled a high-profile lineup of speakers for the programme’s seventh anniversary celebration, which will also commemorate ace broadcaster Kikelomo Atanda-Owo Abati’s more than 20-year journey in the Nigerian media industry.
The milestone event will hold on October 10, 2026, at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, bringing together leaders from government, business, media and culture for conversations on Nigeria’s future.
Leading the keynote sessions are Dr Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, Deputy Governor of Lagos State, and Mr Vlassis Liakouris, Group Managing Director of Mandilas Group Limited.
Also confirmed as distinguished speakers are Mr Kola Adesina, Group Managing Director of Sahara Group, and Dr Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, Founder of Rise Network, while Mrs Bola Adesola, Chairman of the Board of Ecobank Nigeria, will deliver the goodwill message.
The speakers will engage the theme, “The Future of Nigeria: Where Leadership, Innovation, Culture and Media Converge to Shape Nation Building,” exploring how governance, enterprise, innovation and storytelling can shape national development.
According to the organisers, the theme reflects the philosophy that has defined Real Talk With Kike over the past seven years as a platform for meaningful conversations on leadership, society, business, relationships, culture and contemporary issues affecting Nigeria.
For Kikelomo Atanda-Owo Abati, the celebration marks two significant milestones. Beyond the programme’s seventh anniversary, it also celebrates more than two decades of broadcasting, making the occasion a tribute to longevity, impact and the power of dialogue.
The multidisciplinary speaker lineup mirrors the event’s nation-building focus. Hamzat is expected to share perspectives on public leadership and governance, while Adesina and Liakouris will discuss private-sector leadership, enterprise and innovation. Akerele-Ogunsiji will contribute insights on education, youth development and innovation, with Adesola bringing the perspective of corporate governance and financial-sector leadership.
The October gathering is expected to attract policymakers, business executives, media personalities, creatives and guests who have been part of the Real Talk With Kike journey since its inception, reinforcing its reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading platforms for thought-provoking conversations.
