"Africa is interesting. We are unique. For the fact that we’re Africans, our stories are unique. It’s our time, I believe."

"There’s this thing about Nigerians that they believe if you don’t know someone there, it will not happen for you."

"You know, women… we’ve been ignored for a long time. People just believe we can’t do much. And when you ignore someone for a long time, they just wanna prove you wrong… If everybody is given a fair chance, women and men, I believe women would really do well."

"You can have it all. You still be a mom, be a wife and still be a career woman."

"We must stay true to what makes Nollywood great. Nollywood is African stories, by Africans, for Africans. It’s a celebration of who we are and Africans are our primary audience, I just hope that our foreign critics bear with us and seek out some of Nollywood’s newer content – they may surprise themselves how quickly they become Nollywood fans!"

"juggle is most definitely the right word when it comes to my life."
