Those who were lovers of hardcore nigerian home videos in the 90's would be very familiar with the movie titled 'Nneka the pretty serpent.

Twenty two years after it ruled the silver screen in the 90s as one of the most influential home videos in Nigeria, it is set to hit the screen again, along side epic film, “Battle of Musanga”.

Notable film maker and businessman, Igwe gabosky Okoye who is embarking on this laudable project has commenced the process of reproducing the evergreen Nollywood movies to sustain the legacy.

The films made waves in the 90s, and later went into oblivion when the ovation was still very loud.

While it was in vogue,'Nneka the Pretty Serpent' served as a career Launchpad for the likes of Ndidi Obi, Eucharia Anunobi, Ngozi Ezeonu and Rita Nzelu, Sam Loco and Kanayo O.KanayIt was directed by veteran director, Zeb Ejiro and featured cameo appearances by actors late James Iroha, Claude Eke and singer Nelly Uchendu.

According to Gabsoky, “Reproducing these films is in line with the ideals of my organisation-G-Media. We will be marketing contemporary Nigerian movies as well as classics; those movies that heralded Nollywood which included; “Battle of Musanga', Nneka, the Pretty Serpent, Fatal Desire, Living in Bondage, Evil Passion and Circle of Doom. Some of these films, I still have them in my shelve. I will be meeting with the producers with the aim of reproducing them."

That's why I started by reproducing my own works; Battle of Musanga, Nneka, The Pretty Serpent, Beyond the Vows. I will not limit myself to Gabosky's Productions. I will go beyond that to create the difference in the industry. I want to tell the story that movies are supposed to sell for eternity, and not for a while”.
