A short documentary film called We Are Nigerians (Journey to Amalgamation) is now available worldwide on digital platforms to mark the centenary of Africa’s most populous country.
The 15 minutes video, about the creation of modern Nigeria, was launched on 4 February in Abuja.
A statement reads: “The documentary takes viewers on an engaging journey from the early empires and great city-states to the legends of pre-colonial Nigeria and the stories of those individuals who fought valiantly to preserve the sovereignty of Nigeria in the face of colonial rule.’
Sponsor of the video, the Dangote Group, states that it supported the production because of the company’s unwavering belief in Nigeria and the importance of celebrating its history.
“We are passionate about our country and we support projects that will bring us together as a people. It is important for all Nigerians to learn more about their history, understand where they are coming from and feel proud about what we have achieved as a nation,’ says Aliko Dangote, Dangote president and chief executive.
We Are Nigerians is produced by OutSource Media, a content production company that has also been engaged to produce feature-length documentary films for the centenary project.
