"200 Million": Owen Gee's new movie draws attention to Yahoo Plus

Rituals aimed at ensuring financial growth, now a plague afflicting the Nigerian society,is explored in Owen Gee's new movie.

Owen Gee's "200 Million" movie has brought attention on the menace of Yahoo Plus in Nigeria.

Several reports have seen the nabbing of youths by law enforcement agents on suspicion of shocking acts relating to the murder of family members for money rituals.

This has occurred on a consistent basis. It directs the focus on a Nigerian society failing in every front including a preservation of good moral behaviour and love for others.

"200 Million" portrays the challenging lives of two disenfranchised men who explored crime, particularly ritual for financial growth, as a remedy to issues limiting them from enjoying comfort.

A chain of paranormal events soon occurred leaving an indelible mark on their entire existence.

A desire to get money by any means has induced in many a love for self as well as an evil-minded behaviour. This is why many viral reports of ritual killings have circulated the media.

An example of Yahoo Plus

A Yahoo boy was recently apprehended for using his nephew for money rituals. The wealth seeker was caught in the act in Ikoyi, Lagos, according to a Facebook user.

In a picture, the suspect, Tunde Owolabi, also known as 'Money Talks', was captured in handcuffs as he crouched beside the corpse of a little boy reportedly seven years old.

The image was provided in a post shared by Odueko Olumide John, who expressed shock concerning the incident.

A grave-looking Owolabi had a look of intent as he tilted his neck sideways as if paying attention to a more serious reality.

The movie features the comedian alongside Frank Donga, Woli Arole, Chigul, Basorge Tahir, Alibaba, Mercy Aigbe, Samuel Ajibola, Saka and Yaw.

Directed by August Udoh, "200 Million" will debut in cinemas on March 30, 2018.
