Adeniyi Onaara
Obi emelonye’s biopic on former nigerian military head of state ibrahim babaginda has been restored to amazon prime after being removed due to technical difficulties.
The director said on may 19, a day after the video was released on the streaming service, that it had to be removed owing to an audio sync issue.
“a problem with audio sync has been reported midway through badamasi. I and my distributor do sincerely apologize for the technical problem.
We have contacted the amazon quality control team to fix the issue that resulted from an upload glitch as soon as possible,” emelonye wrote on instagram.
The filmmaker hinted to numerous variables affecting the film’s re-release when announcing its return to theaters.
“many forces don’t want this film to come out but nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. Up again on amazon prime after a short break in transmission. Thanks for your patient understanding,” emelonye shared. “delayed from being released for 3 years by red tape. Launch on amazon prime cut shut by black tape. Watch this controversial film now before it is buried by green tape.”
The biography, which was shot in 2018, portrays the former nigerian military head of state as a flawed man with a strong sense of patriotism.
Ibrahim babaginda is played by enyinna nwigwe, with charles inojie, sani danja, yakubu mohammed, okey bakassi, kalu ikeagwu, julius agwu, and erick didie in supporting parts.
