THE STORY OF “AGBARA NLA”
1987 - At the National Festival of Christian Drama (HARVEST 87) organized by Mount Zion Faith Ministries, at GOFAMINT- International Gospel Centre, Ojoo, Ibadan, drama leaders and Coordinators were gathered at separate meeting to share the vision with them of coming together with us to shoot the first Nigerian Christian movie.
The meeting was successful as we all rose from the meeting to strategize.
The Script was written and the Title was : “AGBARA TO JU AGBARA LO”.
We began series of meetings and Casting and rehearsals at OritaMefa Baptist Church, Total Garden Ibadan. And drama ministers majorly from church and campus drama groups were coming to the meetings from many cities and campuses, notably from UNILAG, UI, Ogun State University, College of Education, ILESA, etc, including many from Church drama Groups. .
Then, the film shooting began. The Cameraman was recommended for us and attended many meetings and rehearsals with us.
The Village Location was at APETE Village.
Then, after all our efforts and labours of many brethren from church and campuses, when the film shoot was completed, THE CAMERAMAN DISAPPEARED WITH THE TAPES.
All efforts to locate him proved abortive. So the vision was rested and it died.
1993. - When we had already made Five or six movies successfully, and we were more stable in ministry, the Holy Spirit brought up the matter of shooting the movie again. Now as a Television serial.
The Script was revisited and rewritten again.
We called on brethren and drama ministers gathered with us at BADEKU Village, Ibadan.
A FOURSQUARE Gospel Church Pastor gave us N5,000 to deposit for the Camera. And Rev Idowu Animashawun of World Hope Mission, BADEKU hosted us in the village all through the Muwonleru village Scenes
Bro Kayode Oyebode Oju Oluwa-Kay Technical was the Camera man and Technical Director of the 1993 TV Serial: AGBARA NLA
It was broadcast across the existing TV Channels of Western Nigeria in those days.
1994 - The Lord instructed us to go back on location and make the movie in English Language: ULTIMATE POWER. It was the English Version that spread across the Eastern and Northern Nigeria and beyond in 1994.
2025 - September/October we were on film location to do a Remake of this iconic production. 
Rewritten and Directed by DAMILOLA Mike -Bamiloye
Produced By: CHRIS ODEH
Jointly Sponsored by: Mount Zion Films, Sozo Films and Circuit-TV
Therefore the story of the production of AGBARA NLA had began since 1987.
Now it is time to appear on the Global Stage in the Name of the Lord. Amen.

“Here we go again” and yet you couldn’t get through one paragraph without misrepresenting what Mount Zion actually does. Let me help.
MZ doesn’t demonize Yoruba culture. It celebrates it; the colors, the language, the proverbs, the royalty. Eg. Abejoye became a born-again Christian while still speaking deep Yoruba, bowing before his king, and dropping proverbs that’ll make your grandfather nod. Nobody took his culture. The Gospel just took the throne in his heart.
You framed this as “Yoruba spirituality vs foreign religion.” We never did. We frame it as Light vs Darkness and Darkness has no nationality. We’ve called it out in boardrooms, cities, and yes, in the villages. Location doesn’t exempt it.
“Profiting from portrayals” MZ has 200+ films. Less than 30% are traditional settings. Your entire argument is built on a minority of the catalog, filtered through a lens of cultural grievance. That’s not analysis, that’s a feeling dressed up as a fact.
People are asking questions? Good. Watch the films. The full ones. From start to finish.
AGBARA NLA drops OCT 1. 🔥 The name of Jesus is still above every other name, in 1993 and in 2026.
Here we go again with the same stupid, tired propaganda.
Mount Zion and others need to understand that the era of demonizing Yoruba culture and spirituality is over. People are educating themselves now, and these old narratives will no longer go unchallenged.
Respect your faith, but stop turning Yoruba culture into the villain of every story.
For over three decades, films like this have profited from portraying Yoruba spirituality as evil while presenting foreign religious worldviews as inherently good. Yet many of the social problems facing society today clearly weren’t solved by that propaganda.
Mike Bamiloye built a successful career from this formula, moved his family abroad, and now returns to sell the same story again. The difference is that people are now asking questions, and many are no longer willing to accept these portrayals without scrutiny.

Gift of prophecy = 13 points
Speaking in tongues of men = 11 points
Speaking in tongues of men = 16 points
Understanding all mysteries = 19 points
Filled with knowledge = 20 points
Having great faith = 21 points
Total = 100 points
No love = −100 points
Therefore:
13 + 11 + 16 + 19 + 20 + 21 − 100 = 0

Nope, this is not what Christianity is about. It is about the son of God dying for you and having you saved. Charity is however the Christian's nature not his ultimate mission.
