After lugard and his brothers left Nigeria alone to be an independent state,these men who had no fingernails and toe nails as achebe would describe something of the sort in his book,

There was a movie production by Mr. Mbayase ,after he came home from the British colonies after all his touring in the British colonies ,he came back to Nigeria since Nigeria had gained her independence, he came to apply the much knowledge he had gained over the years from going to school in England to moving from one place to another in the British colonies , working with movie producers and also with stage managers, he had gained enough knowledge.

Since Nigeria was free, he had to go home.
He had in mind to make movies that had the stories of the people interwoven in them, money was not the barrier to break records, he had a handful of it.
His family had money and enough influence in Lagos,so he could do whatever he wanted.

On his arrival to Nigeria, he made his plans known to his family and it was a progressive step to making things better in Nigeria.
If only Markson Mbayase knew that it was not written in the stars for him to actually reach for the stars.

There had to be a meeting after his meeting to stop him from achieving such feat, he was not the only person in Mbayase family that was fated for success.
He had to slow down a bit, because the other side of the Mbayase family wouldn't allow only Markson to make the other sons of the Mbayase's look like they weren't doing anything with their life.

It was short lived for Markson because by October of 1961,a year after the independence, the space he had bought while he was working on the space to make it into a cinema for the Nigerian people to have a feel of progress was something he didn't see the end of it.

It was all penned out in a short while, it was put in place as the space that he bought out was under a refurbishment to actually turn it into a cinema, with additional structures put in place and a restructuring too, while it was in place all done and all set, everyone trooped to see the legacy that Mbayase had put in place.

They were to see a British movie in October 1961 ,while the first home made movie of an African storyline, a Nigerian story line was put in place to be out by the celebration of the next independence in Mbayase's cinema.
Mbayase made a great story by being in a motor accident.

He came to Nigeria to tell stories and became the story himself. The Mbayase's family knew those who were the culprits but how could a motor accident be correlated with an assumed family feud based on jealousy.


In a few years, Mbayase's father immortalised him by building a proper cinema and delved into movie production, which still stands till today.

But the 1960's and 1970's had the memories of who Markson Mbayase would have been if his life was not cut short.
The next drama was going to be how the Mbayase's who were making revenues from the cinema were going to accept a daughter who had come to claim what her father has, A daughter!

But it was a shocker that Markson Mbayase's father indeed actually willed everything to a daughter who came home to claim markson was her father, A daughter who their father only knew was and kept it locked.

After Marksons' Mbayase's father passed and made sure he had a locked will to pass everything to Mbayase's daughter.
It was crazier because it was obvious that Markson refused to die, now it was a daughter who no one knew was having full access to the whole of Mbayase's movie production legacy.

She ran it shortly after she too got married, in a bid to end Marksons' life because they were jealous of his feats, A legacy that should have been in their family left into the hands of another family because. Marksons' daughter took her claim and fell in love, now it was only a ceremonious name 'Mbayase's cinema' because everything totally belonged to her hence the will.


It was a blow to Mbayase's detractors and murderers.
It was a crazy situation to swallow that Mbayase's cinema left just as they made sure Mbayase' left this world.
