Kenneth Ucheoma
- Kenneth Ucheoma is a Nigerian movie producer based in Thailand.
- He tells Nollywoodgossip: “I have been in the industry for 9 to 10 years now.”
- He says: “I have produced 4 movies namely; Malaysia Runs, Aki na PawPaw, Tatoo Girls, The Queen Must Die.”
- He says: “Tattoo Girls is all about how girls in Thailand struggle and compete to marry rich foreign men. They do whatever they can to corner the wealthy men and at the end leave the men penniless.”
- “I’m working on a project called MY Journey To Thailand.”
- “I’m happy for the changes in the industry and I pray that God will lead us to the top. There are lots of challenges on the way, but the major thing is that there is always room for improvement. We all in the industry need to put our hands on the deck for the overall good of the industry.”
- “My new project is about my journey to Asia and how Nigerians are being treated in Thailand and in other places around the globe. And all these are happening because of the system we have back at home. If the people in Government can change their ways and think more about the citizens, things will be a little better for all.”
