Quotes

[edit]
  • I am not against criticism but there’s a good criticism that makes the script better and there’s a bad one that makes it worse. So, these were the hurdles I faced earlier in my career.
  • In bringing Shuga to Nigeria, I hope that we embrace it. I hope young people will learn, be entertained and ultimately change their lives. I would like Shuga to help start conversations between friends and families about issues relating to certain taboos, talk about HIV and about teen pregnancy.
  • Screenwriting can be as profitable as you like. It’s a profession you love first before it starts loving you. Every screen­writer’s journey is different. I worked in radio for five years writing full time. And even then it there were long scary moments when nothing was happening. I don’t recommend people quit their day job to pursue screenwriting until your writing can support you”.
