Nigerian award-winning film producer and founder of Anthills Studios, Niyi Akinmolayan, has created awarenesses videos on the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria’s three major indigenous languages, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, as well as Pidgin.

Akinmolayan who shared the links to the videos on his Twitter handle, @niyiakinmolayan, urged Nigerians to download and share them widely across social media platforms, especially WhatsApp.

He tweeted: “I noticed most of the information and awareness on the coronavirus is in big English. Meanwhile a huge number of our population can’t understand. So I have cut out 2 mins videos in Yoruba, Igbo and pidgin (couldn’t get a hausa person in short time).

“These videos are meant to be shared on WhatsApp (download links attached to each). Let’s share facts in the same place rumors are being shared. Many thanks to blessing Obasi, Amaka Chidioka and Mariam Adeyinka for helping out in a short time.”

He however uploaded the Hausa version a short while later.

Akinmolayan is the director of blockbuster movies such as, Chief Daddy, The Wedding Party 2 and The Set Up, Out of Luck, among others.
