"Well, I don’t think we have really started yet. We’re only scratching the surface at the moment. I don’t think I’m going to feel like I’ve been able to achieve anything until our studio lot is done and we can embark on multi-million-dollar productions of international franchises in Lagos or Nigeria. Until when we can have a production of global standards with a budget of over $200 million, being executed in Lagos or any part of Nigeria, then we haven’t started. I think if you look at the average budget of a film project in global economies such as North America and the UK, it is worth sometimes everything that we have put out in the month. So until when we are able to accommodate that. I’m talking about when we have our film city or film village. At that stage when we can be carrying out multiple projects on a daily and monthly basis. When we can have the capacity to fully engage the majority of the young Nigerians who are keen on participating in the creative industry, then maybe I will feel special but right now, I just feel like there’s a lot more to get done. We are playing our part, we are adding our own quota. We are pushing the limits. We are going to continue to lead in any and every way that is positive. So, how do I feel? I feel like there is a long way ahead and we will get it done by God."
