He said, “My father completely discouraged any of us from going into acting or filmmaking. He said do you want to be running around like I’m running around.

And those were things I learned which helped me structure the business side of what I do because I don’t want to end up like them.

remember after he passed then Nollywood came and then I would see these films with beautiful stories then

I would be comparing them to the film of my dad and Ogunde with the production quality but how come the audio is bad

How come the makeup is lousy, how can we do and this and I said ok I want to be a filmmaker, I never said I wanted to be an actor.
