THE STORY OF “AGBARA NLA”
1987 - At the National Festival of Christian Drama (HARVEST 87) organized by Mount Zion Faith Ministries, at GOFAMINT- International Gospel Centre, Ojoo, Ibadan, drama leaders and Coordinators were gathered at separate meeting to share the vision with them of coming together with us to shoot the first Nigerian Christian movie.
The meeting was successful as we all rose from the meeting to strategize.
The Script was written and the Title was : “AGBARA TO JU AGBARA LO”.
We began series of meetings and Casting and rehearsals at OritaMefa Baptist Church, Total Garden Ibadan. And drama ministers majorly from church and campus drama groups were coming to the meetings from many cities and campuses, notably from UNILAG, UI, Ogun State University, College of Education, ILESA, etc, including many from Church drama Groups. .
Then, the film shooting began. The Cameraman was recommended for us and attended many meetings and rehearsals with us.
The Village Location was at APETE Village.
Then, after all our efforts and labours of many brethren from church and campuses, when the film shoot was completed, THE CAMERAMAN DISAPPEARED WITH THE TAPES.
All efforts to locate him proved abortive. So the vision was rested and it died.
1993. - When we had already made Five or six movies successfully, and we were more stable in ministry, the Holy Spirit brought up the matter of shooting the movie again. Now as a Television serial.
The Script was revisited and rewritten again.
We called on brethren and drama ministers gathered with us at BADEKU Village, Ibadan.
A FOURSQUARE Gospel Church Pastor gave us N5,000 to deposit for the Camera. And Rev Idowu Animashawun of World Hope Mission, BADEKU hosted us in the village all through the Muwonleru village Scenes
Bro Kayode Oyebode Oju Oluwa-Kay Technical was the Camera man and Technical Director of the 1993 TV Serial: AGBARA NLA
It was broadcast across the existing TV Channels of Western Nigeria in those days.
1994 - The Lord instructed us to go back on location and make the movie in English Language: ULTIMATE POWER. It was the English Version that spread across the Eastern and Northern Nigeria and beyond in 1994.
2025 - September/October we were on film location to do a Remake of this iconic production. 
Rewritten and Directed by DAMILOLA Mike -Bamiloye
Produced By: CHRIS ODEH
Jointly Sponsored by: Mount Zion Films, Sozo Films and Circuit-TV
Therefore the story of the production of AGBARA NLA had began since 1987.
Now it is time to appear on the Global Stage in the Name of the Lord. Amen.

Just to be clear, Justice Isa Dashen, in the guise of reviewing his own judgement, ended up sitting as an Appellate Court over his own judgement.
Ordinarily, once a court delivers its judgement, it is said to have become functus officio, meaning that the court has performed its duty and exhausted its powers over that matter.
A court is not supposed to review its own judgement except in extreme circumstances, such as where it acted without jurisdiction, where a party to the suit was not properly served, or where the judgement was obtained by fraud.
Sadly, none of these circumstances existed to justify Justice Isa Dashen reviewing his own judgement.
It is important to note that the Peace Movement Party was not a party to the suit that earlier birthed the judgement of the Court on the 10th of December, 2025.
It was NDC that brought an action against INEC strictly on its administrative decision.
So, why did Justice Isa Dashen not direct that the Peace Movement Party be joined as a necessary party to the suit if he had reasoned that their presence was so important?
Why wait for six months and sixteen days before bringing such an application?
What would it have taken Justice Isa Dashen to reopen the case if he so desires, without disturbing the substance of his earlier judgement that was properly given?
The best thing the Peace Movement Party could have done was to apply as an interested party in the appeal,not coming through the windows of review.
But because they know that if INEC, being the only party to the suit, decides to appeal the judgement now, it will naturally raise suspicion.
So they instead opted for an application seeking a review of the same judgement they were never a party to.
This is exactly why many legal minds should be worried.
Because what just happened raises serious questions about the limits of judicial powers and the sanctity of final judgments.
I regret to say this, but we are in a very deep and unfortunate era as a nation.
