Abstract
This article posits that Kunle Afolayan’s directorial experimentation in October 1 had socio-political underpinnings. Among others, it X-rays the directorial style of Kunle Afolayan and initiates a syncretism of Afolayan’s directorial experimentation in October 1 and the sole objective of galvanizing the masses towards a radical socio-political change. The paper brings to the fore that Kunle Afolayan’s directing is hinged on the via- media theory which allows the director to negotiate freely; this in turn made his film a huge success. The paper submits that Kunle Afolayan as a director roots his directorial experiments in October 1 on the socio-political rejuvenation of Nigeria and his penchant for the projection of African cultural aesthetics was not left out.
