Should I say it in pictures or words? Words: Efefiong Akpan is my name. I am a Nigerian screenwriter and documtary film producer. I desire so much to work with international producers and screenwriters, because there are peculiar African stories that need telling ; from the Niger Delta Region, where I come live. Pictures: the media in my home state, Akwa Ibom State is not reporting the increasing legion of unemployed youths. Most spend time drinking illicit alcohol, smoking weed or prostituting despite enormous opportunities endowed us by Nature. I would have loved to document these in shorts or features: dramas or documentaries. I would love to educate youths on available potentials in them and their communities' ecology to enable industry. THERE IS SO MUCH ECOLOGICAL POTENTIALS,DESPITE DESPOLIATION BY OIL CRUDE DRILLING. I dream of making films like 'Girls' Skills,' looking beyond exploitative sexuality to explorative sexuality in females. More so 'The Hooded Boy,' preparing the psyche of males towards industry via upgrading local skills through technology. I am sure someone out there understands me. Okay I hold. Bachelor of Arts(Communication Arts and Music) Degree. So what? I could do something with my songwriting and singing talents too? SO HOOK ME UP!

Okay, Efeliong, I think that the oil pollution of the Niger Delta disturbs me enough to co-write a thriller. If the African religion and music and arts could challenge our politics and business, who knows if such a story could attract millions of people? Like Josephine Baker accomplished with her boogie-woogie shows to inspire the Roaring Twenties.
Mark let's get cracking! I'm excited. What angle would you like our story to hit homes,
Let's look from the eyes of a boy and girl, stunned by the thick, dirty water. So they vow to learn skills that will save their people and restore their delta. Maybe they report, maybe they invent? So they mature, listening and dancing to their spirits in village music. What if they discovered a monster, a corporate psychopath smirking in their visions? And they explore the world in the second act. In the climax, all the wildlife, along with the tribes, bless them for fresh, pure water. All protected from Standard Oil.
