He said, “I’m not worried; rather, I’m more excited to see where it will take because there are definitely potentials and many opportunities,” he said.
“I believe one of the problems with Nollywood right now is that a lot of efforts are being made in small numbers, and it doesn’t seem like the industry is trying to grow in its entirety.”
He added, “Many of my friends and I have conversations that are more politically conscious than one another.”
The actor stated that he is working on his soon-to-be-released EP and exploring his musical career.
