Date Night starts off with a romantic night out between Lota (Adesua Etomi) and Femi (Deyemi Okonlawon). It seems all was going well between them for a minute then sets in the witty dialogue of gods and myths which gives us a sense of something being off. The date comes to a short end when Lota asks them to leave for Femi\u2019s place, showing Femi her bag which she had packed for the night. Femi seems quite excited about this but we aren\u2019t so sure about Lota.<\/p>\n
When they arrive at Femi\u2019s house while the two are having a friendly chat in his living room, Lota intelligently confirms there wasn\u2019t anyone else in the house, slips a pill in Femi\u2019s wine and snuffs him out. When next Femi regains his consciousness, he\u2019s been tied to a table by Lota. Not to have bondage sex with him, but more like a sacrificial-soon-to-be-murdered manner. What ensues is a night that becomes an intense struggle for survival.<\/p>\n
Mike Ezuruonye made his directorial debut when he directed the movie, “Divorce not Allowed.” The movie is a romantic comedy starring Bolanle Ninalowo, Angela Okorie, Eniola Badmus, Iyabo Ojo and Salami Rotimi.<\/p>\n

According to Mike during an interview prior to the launch of the movie, he revealed that the essence of the film is to encourage people to fight for their marriages. He disclosed the cause of the frequent crash of marriages is because many people give up too easily on their marriages.

Overall, Mike believes that if people can fight for their marriage, the world will become a better place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
