Golden Screen Entertainment Ltd. on Sunday premiered its first movie, “Asigbo”, meaning “misconception”, in Lagos.

The movie which was exhibited at CitiHeight Luxury Hotel preaches effective communication and commitment in marriages.

It relays the story of a couple, Morayo and Ishola who were not committed to each other’s needs due to lack of effective communication and commitment, therefore, leading to some misconceptions.

Yomi Fash-Lanso, who acted as Ishola refused to render any form of assistance to Ireti Osayemi, his wife (Morayo), who is also a career woman.

Ishola entrenches himself in his work and ensures he provides financially for his family, believing that is all his family needed while Morayo struggled to be a good mother, wife and career woman.

The couple’s relationship suffered and the childen were greatly affected.

“Asigbo”, produced by Olawale Oderinde and directed by renowned filmmaker, Adeoye Bakare is a movie fully densed with morals.

The movie stars actors including Foluke Daramola, Seyi Edun, Okele, Bidemi Kosoko, Toyin Alausa,and Olawale Oderinde.

According to the producer, Oderinde, the movie is based on true life experience as he describes it as not just a movie but also a movement to correct anomalies in homes.

Also, Bakare, the movie director, said he was attracted to work on the movie because of the interesting storyline and having seen Oderinde’s quest to contribute to the growth of the entertainment industry.
