Gossip Nation Hits Nigerian Cinemas

After more than two years of filming on locations in Australia and premiering the Gossip Nation, around the globe, Nollywood’s first big budget movie featuring GLO Ambassador Monalisa Chinda and former president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ejike Asiegbu, the movie will hits Nigerian cinemas come 28 October.

Showbiz Trends learnt that the movie will be in some of the top Cinema houses in the country.

Gossip Nation, which became the first African film to be premiered in a major Australian cinema (Hoyts Cinema), has since been premiered in other Australian cities of Melbourne, Bankstown and the Australian capital territory Canberra. It thus remained the most talked about African movie in Australia,

Described by the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) as one of the best Nigerian movies ever reviewed by the board, Gossip Nation, within the short time of its release, has also bagged four nominations at the Afro-Australian Music and Video Awards billed for Australia this year. The movie has since trotted the globe as it had been premiered in major American and European cities.

Gossip Nation is set in Blacktown, a small but steadily growing African community which faced its greatest challenge – Gossip.
