Hello, My name is Itegboje Daniel. I am a multiple award winning documentary filmmaker and a 5th year student of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Benin. My latest film is competing at the Oscar qualifying shorts category at the Durban int film festival. Here’s my story.
Hello Everyone, I just started my documentary series called “Stories from Benin”. I got broke getting this documentary series together🙏🏽❤️. I’ve been able to tell very unique stories in Benin city, Nigeria. Check this thread for some stories so far🙏🏽❤️. Please reweet🙏🏽❤️
O.Y.O (On your own) follows the lives of young boys growing up in the streets of Benin to adulthood. They live and sleep on the streets of Benin and have formed a brotherhood. These type of boys have come to be known as “Elema boys” in Benin city, Nigeria. Here is the trailer.
I was also sponsored by the French embassy to have a screening of my film in Paris and take part in the biggest documentary film festival in France called FIPADOC at Biarritz, France. I was also sponsored by Sony to take part in the Sony future filmmaker awards in Los Angeles
My latest project O.Y.O (On your own)is the only Nigerian film competing at the Oscar qualifying shorts category at the Durban international film festival. With the winner of the category automatically joining the race for the Oscar’s. It is a long shot but a boy can only dream🫶🏽
I also founded a production company alongside my brothers David and Emmanuel who are also photographers and filmmakers called 3WM productions with a vision to redefine African storytelling.
My films as a documentary filmmaker has screened in over 18 international film festivals with over 8 nominations, 2 awards in 8 countries and 4 continents with the countries being the United States, Canada, France, Zambia, Zimbabwe, India, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa.
In pursuing all my passions I remain steadfast in my passion for medicine with my ultimate goal being to change global health and societal outcomes through storytelling.
I have so much experiences to share and want to become more active here. Follow me let’s talk and vibe. Also follow my Instagram and Linkeldn pages to see more of my portfolio and updates.

Hello, My name is Itegboje Daniel. I am a multiple award winning documentary filmmaker and a 5th year student of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Benin. My latest film is competing at the Oscar qualifying shorts category at the Durban int film festival. Here’s my story.
A bus containing people who are the future of the medical sector in this country has gone missing and are possibly kidnapped!!!. Please retweet this!!!. Let’s get the right authorities on this!!!
IF YOU ARE A MEDICAL STUDENT OR DOCTOR, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW AND LEND A VOICE TO THIS ‼️‼️
A BUS CONTAINING 19 MEDICAL STUDENTS AND A DOCTOR IS MISSING, PRESUMABLY ABDUCTED OR KIDNAPPED
THEY WERE HEADED FROM JOS AND MAIDUGIRI TO ENUGU FOR FECAMDS CONVENTION AND WAS LAST
I grew up in a space that allowed me to be divergent with my passions and started my late teenage years with the dream of becoming a guitar maestro with dreams of playing in bands like the cavemen and alternate sound but life had a different plan for me.
Shortly after, I fell in love with medicine and documentary filmmaking and was admitted to study medicine and surgery at the university of Benin in 2018. Medicine and documentary filmmaking felt poles apart and impossible but I felt determined to make it work.
Over the years I have been able to find a delicate blend between medicine and documentary filmmaking by the grace of Elohim. I am currently in my 5th year in medicine and surgery at the university of Benin and have won awards for my documentary films.

I still wonder why Dr Ngozi okonjo Iweala is not holding a key position in the present Buhari administration. You can nominate her for a global position but you can't integrate her into your government knowing her level of skill, achievements and experience 🤷🏽♂️?
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the nomination of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, former coordinating minister for the economy, for the position of director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), The Cable reports.
This is the story of Mr Michael, a brave man who travelled into a den of kidnappers in Edo state to save his friend from kidnappers. Watch how he recounts his full story on this stories from Benin episode on YouTube. Retweet for awareness❗️❗️❗️.

If chess has any relationship to film-making, it would be in the way it helps you develop patience and discipline in choosing between alternatives at a time when an impulsive decision seems very attractive.
