 Achieving an impressive stride within a few months of operation, Sujimoto Construction has not only gained recognition for deviating from the routine standard of mediocrity in the property development industry but also for inspiring new and existing developers in their approach to luxury real estate development with their ability to deliver properties that are comparable to other global counterparts. 

This acclaimed debut property was sold out in record time irrespective of the country's economic shuffles, attributed to its class of design, luxurious finish and flawless attention to detail. Intriguingly the company allocated a certain percentage of its profits to charity as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts.
A remarkable estate precedence has given rise to a high demand for Sujimoto's forthcoming project in Ikoyi "Lorenzo" anticipated in the last quarter of 2015. Inspired by the Ritz Hotel & Apartment, Lorenzo is an unveiling of world class hospitality bringing a redefinition in high value residential structures, comprising of 2,3 & 4 bedrooms and a fascinating addition of penthouses with private swimming-pool.

A rebirth of Nigeria's hospitality standard, for the first time showcasing a 5-star restaurant, spa services, ultra modern gym, a virtual golf course, fitness studios, private jetty for boat owners, virtual golf course and Olympic size swimming pool, deluxe stores (by appointment only), roof top lounge and concierge services.

Individuals and corporate bodies interested solely in the purchase of the properties for investment are not left out, as a number of units have been purchased for the sole purpose of wealth maximization that afford these category of buyers' 8-12% returns in annual rental income, apart from a residual value of at least 15%. 
Other outright buyers can attest to this property as being one of their greatest acquisition of value and expression of opulence and lifestyle.

Filmone: Lunch Time Heroes!

Posted: 03 Aug 2015 09:17 AM PDT

Lunch Time Heroes, the highly acclaimed film for the young and young at heart, has been slated for theatrical release in cinemas across Nigeria. The family drama based genre embedded with pints of comic relief is the first of its kind in the Nation. PHB films and FilmOne Distribution & Production co-produced this delightful film. 


The highly pulsating movie is visually stimulating and boasts of uncompromised top notch production values. It was directed by award winning director, Seyi Babatope and stars Nollywood's finest; DakoreEgbuson, OmoniOboli, Bikiya Graham Douglas, Diana Yekini, Tina Mba, Tope Tedela, and the Child stars;Kada Mathew , Cassandra Rosman,SunshineRosman , DonpetEnebeli, ChrostopherOchiyanbo, Deborah Oboh, and Louie Obioha.

The movie unveils BankeAdewunmi, a 23-year-old National Youth Corp inductee who is posted to the prestigious Junior Secondary School for her primary assignment. The school however, has a policy not to accept any employees outside of it vetting channels, particularly NYSC placement applicants. The school at the present time, through increased costs in management, is going through financial constraints. 
The recourse for a remedy happens to be the annual Governors Scholastic, Sports and Arts Cup. A competition between all the schools in the State that provides the winning school with financial cash prize, computers, and academic scholarships and above all the bragging rights for a year to be the school with the Governor shield of merit, which leads to an increase number of applications to the institution. 

Banke is given the role of a caretaker substitute teacher to the kids considered to be non-athletes and difficult to deal with and who serve no purpose in the quest to win the Governors cup. She wins the hearts of the students and convinces the principal to enter them for the art portion of the competition. Banke uses her passion for cooking and the kid's enthusiasm to use their culinary skills as an athletic prowess, which ultimately wins the day.

According to Kene Mkparu, MD/CEO Of FilmOne "Having produced and released the blockbuster 'When Love Happens' in 2014 which was directed by Seyi Babatope, we are confident that Lunch Time Heroes will repeat the same feat at the Box office. It's another feather added to our cap, being the first to tow the family drama path. There's no family movie in cinemas where the entire family can watch films together without having to put up with the ratings allotted to films which causes a division as to who can and cannot watch the film. Lunch time heroes provide families with a remarkable bonding time and a rejuvenating and inspiring experience."

The Director of the film, Seyi Babatope and CEO Of PHB Films stated "It was exciting working on this film with these talented children and ofcourse the stars. It only goes to show that the Nation has resourceful talents that can be harnessed to achieve great things. There certainly were challenges, being the first of its kind to be produced in Nigeria, but my experience and the acting dexterity of the Cast and sound professionalism of the crew made it a walk in the park. I'm sincerely thrilled about the film and look forward to afantastic run in cinemas and the inspiration to achieve their dreams which children, teenagers, youths and the elderly ones will have after watching Lunch Time Heroes in cinemas".

Lunch Time Heroes will be released in Cinemas from August 28th 2015.
