KASALA -THE CURSE

KASALA- THE CURSE

Deep in the heart of Oshogbo Kingdom, a secret century old, evidence in a single statue is on the verge of being exposed. 

A secret so dangerous it could shake the foundation of Yoruba history.

After a struggle with an elderly woman, a young girl becomes the victim of a curse that threatens to destroy her life and those of the ones she loves. Her only salvation lies in a statue.

She joins forces with an art thief who is on the run from guards of The Lodge. A secret society; whose members are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to retrieve this statue and protect their secret.
In a breathless race through the streets of Lagos, and a face-off with a deadly soldier, intent on a mission from which he cannot fail.

A soldier on a mission, but also locked in a desire to be with the woman he loves. He must not return without the statue, he cannot lose his woman.

Missions, aspirations, desires, emotions collide in this exhilarating tale, a blend of restless adventure, historical intrigue, mythological genius and romance. 

Kasala is a fascinating thriller, full of surprises, loaded with suspense at every twist … till its unpredictable end!

7 ISSUES OF DONT JOIN

Don't Join-Complete 7 Issues

The  comic adaptation of DON’T JOIN, a harrowing tale of gang warfare at a university in Nigeria, follows one man who goes from innocent student to brutal gang leader and back again. Uche, the protagonist, helps the audience understand the intricate and dangerous world of the gangs(also called students cults) from an outsider’s and an insider’s perspectives. He provides a fascinating window into the hidden underbelly of gang life. Uche’s character arc is perhaps the strongest part of the story. The reader sees him gradually become more and more drawn into the criminal world, a version of the classic story of a hero being corrupted by power. Still, the audience relates to him.

The lore and traditions surrounding gang membership are not often explored in this much detail. Audiences are well-acquainted with movies about the mafia and inner city gangs, but the African setting offers a different spin on a familiar genre.

Uche is a straitlaced student at a Nigerian university, who witnesses with horror the violence perpetrated by rival campus gangs. However, after the death of his friend Joe, who had been a gang member, Uche is gradually seduced by the power and strange traditions of the gangs. He joins the Warriors, Joe’s gang, and moves up the ranks while dating Joe’s old girlfriend, Uju. Despite enduring serious injuries and multiple close calls, Uche thrives in the gang and gains a reputation and a fearsome adversary
