‘‘The return of TK, the storyteller - with ‘Cordelia’
He is, arguably, Nigeria’s most accomplished and most renowned film maker and cinematographer. Although he describes himself simply as a storyteller, he is much more than that - a teacher, photographer, social activist and cultural ambassador.
I have known him closely for half a Century. From my observatory in Wasimi, I have watched him these past 4 years navigating minefields of challenges that threatened one of his most ambitious and challenging productions, a movie that captures a defining moment in Nigeria’s story under military rule titled ‘Cordelia’, written by Prof. Femi Osofisan, with a soundtrack that was performed specially by the philharmonic orchestra of an American University.
This most ambitious project has flip flopped for 3 years. On July 18, 2025, it will finally berth in Cinemas all over Nigeria, starting with a first Special Screening at the Alliance Francais in Lagos on July 15, and a second one, by invitation only, on July 16, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, former President of Nigeria, as Special Guest of Honour.
Dr. Tunde Kelani, aka Uncle TK, or simply TK as he prefers to be called, is my guest on ‘90 minutes with Mathematical’ this Saturday morning. He will be sharing his incredible journey and experiences with the world.
