‘Lahira story is part of our history’ | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Lahira tells a story about the insurgency in Nigeria through the character of young and a brave Northern girl, Lahira, whose village was destroyed by armed men. Produced by Justice Atigogo, Lahira features a diverse cast of actors from across the country, including Nobert Young as General; Miracle Inyanda as Lahira; Alfred Atungu as Hamza Bin Sale and Grace-Charis Bassey Effah as Alicia Kubanji.

“The emotion was a build-up. Lahira is a relatable story. I’ve lived in a city where there was a crisis all around; they killed a lot of people. My parents had to carry me. Putting myself in that situation helped me interpreted my role.” On the effort put into place to help those in the affected areas watch the series, she said: “Part of the things I am doing is creating awareness through social media, not only that, a lot of people have reached out to me trying to find out how they can watch the series and I told them how to access DStv app. So, we were able to subscribe for some people; people who can really relate to this might not see it in a long time.

Speaking on the role Lahira played in addressing germane social issues, he said: “Insurgency is a topic that is very popular in the media, and it has been a problem for us as a nation since it started almost 20 years ago. We felt like giving a voice to those that are affected by this menace. We feel that Lahira will also go a long way to help Nigerians to identify with the efforts the military is putting in place.

On the impact Lahira has had on him, personally and professionally, he said: “As a filmmaker who worked with MultiChoice on this project, I was able to learn new ways of working. Basically, MultiChoice exposes me to some methods and some workshops that people don’t normally get as indigenous filmmakers.”
