With every step, I feel the weight of our ancestors’ legacy on my shoulders. I want to make them proud, to honour the sacrifices they made for us to be here today. When I look into her eyes, I see a future filled with possibility, a boundless expanse of wonder and adoration.
The joy of every filmmaker is in seeing your work earning recognition from relevant quarters, and in the spirit of the AMVCA season, I am excited for the honour of being nominated, not once, not twice, but a whopping ten times!
I have said so much about my Lisabi experience, and it is a joy to me that all of us, from those who acted alongside me and my wife on the project to those who worked in the background, got recognition through the AMVCA nominations. What more can I say?
Here’s me also congratulating everyone who got nominated in the categories in which my project is featured. We are all winners. Let’s keep the good work up. We owe it to the emerging generations to leave them with works that will last a long time and challenge them to a high standard.
To my people, the Yoruba, Nigerians, and Blacks worldwide, I say: “Let’s hold onto our heritage tightly. Let’s wear our African prints, such as Ankara, aso oke, adire, damask, etc., with pride, speak our languages with joy, and celebrate our cultures with fervour. For in our heritage lies our strength, identity, and glory. Let’s pass it on to our children so that they may know their worth and the beauty of their roots.”
