Do you think the Olukunle Elukanlo deportation saga would make a good musical?

    Following on from I Keano, Jerry Springer the Opera, etc, do you think you could make a decent musical based on the Olukunle Elukanlo deportation saga?

    Kid escapes gangs in Lagos, makes it to Ireland, gets work in SuperValu, studies for leaving, makes friends, gets deported, pleads in agony from Lagos in his school uniform, his friends rally to his support, Minister has an anguished night of contemplation in his bedroom, grants reprieve, Olukunle returns in triumph.

    You would have to change the lads name... too hard to remember/pronounce... and make him a young gay white man, so that the audience could identify with him.

    Then maybe..... just maybe....
