“Made In Agege”, Kumawwood/Nollywood movie which was directed by Kenneth Yeboah has won two (2) ZAAFA Awardsand three (3) Golden Movie Awards. It tells the story of 3 young men who moved from Agege, Nigeria to Ghana to find greener pastures, only to be faced with more hustling.

Fortunately for them, they heard of a hidden treasure and set forth to discover where it was hidden but only one of them was able to get to it and brought it home. He then started having dreams, and the events that happened in the dream, started to unfold itself in his real life, opening the windows of the mysteries surrounding the treasure.

The movie was recently premiered at the Silverbird Cinemas but only the part one of the movie was shown but in an interview with the producer who doubles also as the director, he disclosed toGhbase.com that, plans are been made for the second part of the movie to be shown, so as to quench the suspense that was created in the part one.
