INVASION 1897 the ovonramwen story is a movie produced and directed by Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen and set in colonial times. The movie stars Segun Arinze, Mike Omoregbe, and Paul Obazele and is set to be released in 2014.
The 1897 invasion of Benin marked the climax in the inordinate exploitation of Africans and black peoples by the West. This sinister quest began with slavery and later evolved to the famed scramble for Africa where the entire continent was divided among the then European world powers.
The shameful conquest of Africa was actually motivated by the greed and exploitation of the resources of the African people to the advantage of Europe and America. This has left Africa underdeveloped to the extent of becoming beggarly nations.
