When exactly did you start movie production?

It wasn’t a tea party. I came into Nollywood in 2005 after a friend, Uchenna Ibonabor introduced me to the industry. We became friends but it wasn’t easy getting sponsorship for our movies. Luck smiled on us when a politician based in Dublin, Ireland, sponsored our film, Strange Affection, featuring Mama Gee, Desmond Elliott and Eucharia Anunobi among others. That was my first movie in Nollywood. I was associate producer while Uchenna Mbunabo was producer. We did another one entitled Secret Game which we sold to a marketer out rightly featuring Mercy Johnson and Desmond Elliot.



So, at what point did you produce your first movie?

My first movie was Emotional Blunder, featuring Mercy Johnson, Clems Ohameze, Eucharia Anunobi and directed by Ikechukwu Onyeka. It was after Emotional Blunder. I also produced When You Are Mine featuring Emeka Ike. Others are Confidential Romance, Everlasting Love and When You Are Mine.



How many movies have you produced so far?

I have produced over 32 movies both in Ghana and Nigeria and still counting.



Which was the most successful?

Emotional Blunder was the most successful. Presently the internet has evolved as a powerful tool for movie marketing. My movie, My Unborn Son, which was released on 2013 has been an internet success; it has garnered over 3000 views. Another is Chinalor the Shy Virgin witch has garnered over 500 viewers and it keeps getting better. Presently, The Unthinkable, another of my movies is doing great. I recently lunch my own internet platform known as Nollywood Kingdom dedicated to movie marketing.How do you handle female advances, especially in an industry where a lot of girls are desperate for movie roles?

It is natural to have female admirers as a successful producer but the ability to be assured in the love of your trusted spouse, who gave you opportunity to do your job without any regret is paramount. I have a beautiful wife at home. I married her before I became popular as a producer. There is no amount of a lady’s seduction will kill the love we share.
