Art above everything else – A conversation with Jude Idaba

Jude Idaba

A deep craving to add value to lives is what drives film director, playwright, script writer, novelist and poet Jude Idaba who is of the opinion that his words introduce cultures, which work to create a more tolerant society.

After years of ignoring his artistic calling in collusion with those around him—especially his now-dead father, a wealthy Nigerian lawyer who felt his son would be throwing his future away if he took such a road—Idaba is where he needs to be.
