Kòseégbé (English: Immovable) is a 1995 Yoruba drama film directed by Tunde Kelani based on a stage play of the same name by Akinwunmi Isola. The cast consisted of actors from the Obafemi Awolowo University theatre. It was released through Mainframe Films and Television Productions.




Plot


Koseegbe tells the story of a morally upright customs officer who replaces a senior official who was dismissed on account of corruption. At his new post, he attempts to sanitize the system as he gets pushed back from the equally corrupt junior officers. In order to orchestrate his dismissal, the junior officers frame him for illicit behaviour. He is however able to secure their confession and absolve himself.

Production


Koseegbe was Tunde Kelani's third film and his first work with Akinwunmi Isola. It started out as a stage play of the same name by Isola who was unable to write the script for film, so Kelani gave him the script for Driving Miss Daisy to use as a sample. It was released on VHS in 1995.
It was listed as one of the 10 best selling Yoruba movies.
