average Lagos Taxi driver that could make you laugh so much, you hurts your
ribs!
That is
what the new hilarious comedy, Taxi Driver (Oko Ashewo) is all about. The movie
starring popular Yoruba actor and Glo ambassador, Odunlade Adekola, AMVCA
winner, Femi Jacobs, MTN ambassador, Hafiz Oyetoro (Saka), will be in cinema nationwide

Synopsis:
Taxi driver (Oko Ashewo) is a hilarious comedy drama about working in Lagos
at night, as a taxi Driver.
Adigun played by AMVCA winner Femi Jacobs, is a 31 year old naive village
mechanic coming to Lagos for the first time. His decision comes following the
sudden death of his father, a man he never truly knew… yet a man very popular
in his village as the iconic Lagos taxi driver 'Oko ashewo'.
However, Adigun's coming to Lagos is on the invitation of Taiwo, his
father’s fellow taxi driver played by popular yoruba actor Odunlade Adekola...
but Taiwo is dangerous and as shady as Lagos at night..
Taxi Driver (Oko Ashewo) tells the story of how Adigun copes with dealing
with the multitude of odd characters he comes across from Delia the queen prostitute,
to Kakanfo the unseen vigilante, the notorious assassins ‘three wise men’, to
the Godfather, Baba Mistura and many more interesting characters that ply their
trade in Lagos at night.
In truth, Taxi Driver is as much a funny story about Lagos as it is a
inspiring story about love, greed, betrayal, contradictions and self
discovery..
