greed in English language, unwraps an intriguing tale about a
money-strapped manager of a shady Petrol Station who decides to rob his
employers but along the line finds out in a sudden twist that he is not
alone in his ambition and that a good reason isn’t always a right one.

different locations very soon before it proceeds on a long cinema run
across over 30 theatres in Nigeria. The Director, Olaitan trained in
Film Directing/Screen Writing Degree at the Colorado Film School and
aspires to make a big impression with this first effort.
Speaking on the movie, the director said, “Ojukokoro was inspired by the
state of events in Nigeria during 2014 elections with the general state
of greed in the nation due to the upcoming elections. It is an ensemble
cast movie that deals primarily with a heist, which is an avenue that
is rarely explored in Nollywood. “From the conception to execution, the
movie that took me three years to produce. I wrote the script when I was
fresh from film school with little knowledge of how the Nigerian Film
industry operates. It’s nice to finally have an end product after many
years of dreaming and scheming,” he added.
