Written by Noni Salma and directed by Tope Oshin, ‘We Don’t Live Here Anymore’ is about two teenagers, Tolu Bajulaiye (Francis Sule) and Chidi Egwuonwu (TemiDayo Akinboro) in a fictional Prominence High School who found themselves embroiled in a scandal that completely alters their future. With a scandal so close to home, Nike (Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi), a powerful matriarch desperately pulls all strings to reset the narrative – leading to a battle of class and wit.
Speaking at the premiere, the Executive Producer, Olumide Makanjuola said, “The question for me is how can we make parents think and understand better for their children. When they do, then they can create a good atmosphere for their children to live, thrive and be happy. This is the reality around us that we have to really think about.”
‘We Don’t Live Here Anymore’ is produced by Tope Oshin, Executive Produced by Olumide Makanjuola and The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs). It stars Funlola Aofiyebi Raimi, Katherine Obiang, Osas Ighodaro Ajibade, Francis Sule, Temidayo Akinboro and Omotunde ‘Lolo’ Adebowale-David.
