God has been so good to me and my fans have been so wonderful. I am
extremely happy. We worked really hard on this movie, and I’m glad the
hard work is paying off. I was expecting something like this but not
this big. 25 million naira in three days is huge’‘We have made 50 million naira now and it has only been a week
since the movie was released to the cinemas. The rate at which we are
selling out is mind blowing, even in non-Yoruba speaking state. I have
been visiting different cinemas, along with other casts members and many
other celebrities and people in large numbers have been storming the
cinema to see the movie. It’s honestly humbling and I feel so loved and
accepted. I am super grateful for this success and for the kind of fans I
have. I just want this to continue as long as the movie remains in
cinema’.
