The Tenant Finds Home in Nigeria

The Tenant, a movie which was written and directed by Jude Idada and Lucky Ejim, Canadian immigrants, is set to premiere in Nigeria.
The movie, which was shot in various locations in Nigeria and Canada, is about Obinna, a Nigerian refugee in Canada, who faces deportation in 30 days. When all hope seemed lost, a chance confrontation with Timothy, his terminally ill landlord, provides him an opportunity to remain in the country. Timothy, a former immigration officer, makes him a deal: he will intervene in his pending deportation if Obinna finds his estranged daughter, Nicole and convinces her to see him one last time before he dies. With the clock ticking, Obinna fights to save his dreams, in the course of which he stumbles on a discovery that will shake the very foundations of his beliefs.
The movie, which has been screened at various film festivals in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, has won the Audience Choice Award, Best Feature Film Awards (Hollywood Black Film Festival 2009) in Beverly Hills, California, and Best Feature Film (Moving Image Film Festival2008) in Toronto, Canada.
