Odunlade Adekola, Femi Jacobs, Saka, Ijeoma Agu Star in Hilarious comedy flick, Taxi Driver (Oko Ashewo).

We all have boarded a Taxi at one time in our lives
and have a lot of tales to tell about our experiences- good, bad, some extremely horrendous.  Taxi Driver; a flick from FilmOne Distribution alongside Orbit Imagery and House
5 production is a comedy film to watch. It tells the hilarious tale of the night life of taxi driver
in the never-sleeping city of Lagos.

The lead character Adigun played by
AMVCA winner Femi Jacobs, is a 31 year-old naive village mechanic who left his village for Lagos for the first time following the sudden death of his
father, a man he never truly knew… yet very popular in his village as
the iconic Lagos taxi driver ‘Okoashewo’.

It tells the story of how Adigun
copes with dealing with the multitude of odd characters he comes across working
at night from Delia the queen prostitute, to Kakanfo the unseen vigilante, the
notorious assassins ‘three wise men’, to the Godfather, Baba Mistura and many
more interesting characters that ply their trade in Lagos at night.You may be wondering, why should I watch this movie?
We’ll tell you why.

Taxi Driver is one of the most
beautifully shot films ever to have come out of Nigeria.
It takes you through
the journey of a Taxi Driver and its passenger adding a very funny and
hilarious twist to it.


It features the likes of AMVCA winner, Femi
Jacobs, Odunlade Adekola and Hafiz Oyetoro.
Taxi Driver (OkoAshewo) is a great fun story, remarkably and beautifully
filmed and we encourage you to go watch it at the cinemas, because we bet it’s
going to be laughter all the way.

PHOTOS: ACTOR ODUNLADE TURNS MONSTER IN NEW MOVIE

He’s played the role of father, husband, Pastor, loverboy, houseboy; he’s been stubborn and funny in movies, now you’re about to see talented actor, Odunlade Adekola play a totally different role- a monster in a new movie titled, Kudi Klepto.

The movie is produced by Yemi Adekoya and directed by Bayo Tijani. Maybe his own monster is not the scary type but going by these pictures…..just keep your fingers.
