Just so everyone is well informed about coronavirus, updated on ways to stay clean and safe, Nigerian filmmaker and director Niyi Akinmolayan created an informative animation for the kids too.

No one is left out. He recently shared a video of voice-overs of some Nigerian indigenous languages including pidgin, so as to help spread the much-needed info on COVID-19.

Sharing the video on Instagram, the film-maker wrote:

Understanding Coronavirus for kids by Anthill Studios

We have made this beautiful 90secs animation in four languages to explain the lockdown and coronavirus to kids. I wrote it myself after trying to explain to my 5yr old. Just like our last video that went viral, I have created a folder with all the videos (download link in bio). There are high quality copies for broadcast and online use and there are also WhatsApp versions to share. Please let’s get it on all TV stations and if anyone can sponsor on youtube, they should. We couldn’t get to use a studio to record other languages so they aren’t as crisp. I have attached a music and effect file for anyone who wants to rework the dialogue to taste.
Remember it’s free to use. Just acknowledge @anthillstudios_ many thanks to all my wonderful staff for doing this great work

Get the kids to watch the video below.

Ruby Akubueze is well-known for portraying Oby in the 2023 Netflix film, Ijogbon.

Kunle Afolayan directed the movie. The movie revolves around four teenagers who stumble upon a bag of diamonds, leading to unexpected consequences. Akubueze described her role in Ijogbon as the most challenging one she has encountered in her acting career.

“It was a lot emotionally, physically, and given the time of the year we were filming, it was challenging because the sun was always scorching and we were always filming outdoors.

“We had like a few scenes indoors, and every day you wake up, we are filming outside and next thing is you would hear the director say, ‘Oh, so you guys are going to start running from here to here,’ and I am like ‘Oh my gosh, again!’

“Like we were always running, it was challenging but it was the most fun I had,” she said.
