10 days since my first movie got released and it’s been one of the most talked about movies this year.
A lot of people still haven’t watched because they do not believe that someone could excellently write, produce, direct and play the lead at the same time, in a movie at 23.
Well, this appreciation goes to God and the believers. The ones who believed in a young boy’s dreams enough to come out and watch his film. The ones who loved it and have been talking about it. The ones who have shown support in any form, I’m so grateful. Thank you 🙏
Despite the terrible showtimes, despite cinemas refusing to show the film, etc. we are still moving strong.
Thank you God for keeping your word.
This is God’s Film.
To every young filmmaker, let this be your sign. You can do this. I’m rooting for you.
Please keep coming out to watch THE BOY WHO GAVE in all cinemas.
I love you ❤️

You know why I love this app? It’s because you get to learn things whether you like it or not.
Only from this tweet have I learned that the movie “Gang Of Lagos” is in court for a costume they used in the movie. The producers (and Amazon) got hit with a lawsuit from the Isale-Eko Descendants Union over how the movie portrayed the Eyo Masquerade and the Isale-Eko community. The court basically ruled they misrepresented the culture, turning a revered tradition into something tied to gangs and violence. They were ordered to publicly apologize, and there were calls to pull the film.
Also, I was reminded of the past times where a movie is released and the producers get sued because they tried to be real with every element of the acting and the public calls for the movie to be taken down. The wonders you see in Nigeria!
A movie was made and all everyone is more concerned about is the prison uniform worn on set, not the acting and execution. Just because it didn’t suit your supposed narrative, you all labeled it “unfit and poor researching” instead of calling out your government that loves hiding its failures in poor policies and intimidation.
Well, what do I know? But one thing I know is I’m definitely watching this movie. Did you all see the actors’ lineup? Menhhhh 🔥
