I am using random selections of the popular icons, movie posters and scenes from Nollywood movies as flashbacks of memories.
It is also the title of a romantic comedy on Nollywood about a love affair between a young upcoming Nollywood actress in love with an older Nollywood director in middle age crisis and a boring marriage. The young actress reminded him of his younger years and sleeping with her rejuvenated him.

The opening picture is showing upcoming Nollywood actress, the beauty queen Celina James in the "reading in motion" scene of my documentary film, "Lagos in Motion", currently in post production. The choice of the book, "Conspiracy of Lagos" with Nollywood star, Hon. Desmond Elliott on the cover was deliberate. The author of the political crime thriller, Mr. Bisi Daniels is presently the The Strategy and Communications Adviser to the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment. He is considering a film adaptation of the novel. I gave a copy to accomplished filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan to look at the possibilities for the adaptation.
