Nollywood has again added another feather to its cap as a renowned independent producer, Dabby Chimere of Dabz Movie Productions has put all the necessary machinery in place to hit the television screen with a movie series entitled “Lies and Secret” to the viewing pleasure of movie lovers.
This television drama is written by Lawrita Obioha and geared towards filling the gap of stories that are based on real life experiences.
“Lies and Secret” captures the realness of human activity as it relates to everyday lifestyle in the society. Its content is like a reenactment of the stories around us which will no doubt ignite the minds of viewers to stay glue to the suspense of each revealing scenes and episodes.
According to Behind Nollywood’s report and ratings, her casts were meticulously selected from each of the popular airing series, like Jenifa’s Diary, Tinsel and few others. Not just that, wowing revelation created rooms for the mix of Nollywood prominent faces like Daniella Okereke, Daniel Lloyd, Uzor Arukwe and host of other professionals in the Africa’s make-believe industry who all made individual appearances.

Daylight.ng gathered that Dabby did not just storm the location for a one-off production of this value oriented project, rather she debuted with an innovating mindset that is guided by diversity of new ideas on how to strive, create a quality production standards for the reward of viewership.
Since Nollywood debuted back in the days, it has redefined the screen business through quality effort in the sustenance of entertainment in Nigerian homes and audience behaviour for both local and international drama has changed.
To sustain this local and international audience’s appeal, Dabby has decided to champion local content that would engage, stimulate and satisfy intended viewers.
According to her, “There should be quality and reward for viewership, even as we want to maximize the audiences’ interest. It’s not as if we’ve not been into this very business of production, but for the first time my company is doing something different in the same field.
“We will not say because it’s new then we should compromise quality, no, but we will bring our ideas to the table where people can see it, and as well score us for it.
“We just completed the first shoot, and plans are on for airing negotiations, which very soon we will be hooking it to best and reachable channels where viewers can enjoy it without much stress.
She said over the years of filming activity in the country, only Nollywood has been able to gain recognition and boost, based on individual contribution, outside government support, adding that internationally, public funding support for local television drama is commonplace in all but the largest markets.

According to her, superior drama production is high cost and high risk and that it requires a long development period and skilled practitioners to make it. “Production costs in Nigeria are internationally very competitive but still well in excess of local broadcaster revenue for the time slot”, she said.
Hear her: In this high stakes environment Nollywood has been a consistent funder of both the development and production of movie projects. This has seen a large number of well-received blockbusters over the years. But since the attention divert to Nigeria’s television series sector, the country’s television audiences have grown to appreciate and expect high quality drama that matches or exceeds international fare.”
