Austen-Peters, Wakaa! producer.
Mixta Africa, Europe’s first-mover and active player in the fast growing African real estate sector, has concluded plans to take Wakaa! The Musical to London’s west end.
The Head, Business Development of Mixta Nigeria, Mr. Tunji Osinulu, made the latest development public at a joint press conference addressed by Bolanle Austen Peters Productions (BAP) and company.
Wakaa! The Musical is a play about the trials, successes and experiences of young graduates with varied background. A wager between them after graduation has a twist when the realities of life and the folly of their choices hit them. The story reveals the struggle and challenge young people face in present day Africa and abroad. Wakaa! The Musical takes you on an emotional roller coaster and is a strong satire of the Nigeria’s politics.
According to Mr. Osinulu, Mixta Africa is sponsoring Wakaa the musical because it is an original African export.
“The plot typifies the current reality of the typical African youth, who is looking for a way out of Africa and failing to see the opportunities that exist in here. When BAP Productions expressed their intention to take Wakaa the musical to the global stage, it wasn’t difficult for us to connect with. First, we want to support the arts, but most importantly, Mixta Africa is about harnessing opportunities by building communities across Africa.
He further stated that, “our support of Wakaa! on the London project is well aligned with our strategy for the diaspora market. As you know, the African real estate sector currently offers huge opportunities for investment: right from affordable homes to luxury homes. There is a very strong African presence in London and we want to use this medium to reach out to them about the opportunities back home,” he said.
