Many people do not know, or might not remember that I started off directing music videos. Since I started making movies however, I haven't had time to express myself through music videos. So you can imagine how I excited I was to see if I still had it, shooting the first single, "SAVE ME" with the legendary voice and talent @official2baba who just recently joined the GOLDEN Jubilee Club. Happy Birthday, Tu and thank you for not only coming through heavy, but delivering that vintage Tuface š„ in "SAVE ME" that we all remember and love šš½
The last time I worked with @official2baba was 2014 on a collaboration song with WIZKID called, "DANCE GO (Eau De Vie), so it was great connecting again - This time, from "SAVE ME" music creation through to the music video production.
Thank you to Uncle O @oscarhemanackah for writing and producing such a beautiful, heartfelt record for the TO KILL A MONKEY project and soundtrack.

HAPPY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, GUYS šš¾ā„ļøšš¾
Our DEAREST #KOBARMYāļø... It's YOUR day today!!! Our Anniversary!!! āļøāļøāļøāļø
I've been reminded, that on this day last year, the TV series and sequel showing, of our iconic title "KING OF BOYS" premiered for the first time, exclusive to Netflix.
What a ride it's been since "KING OF BOYS: THE RETURN OF THE KING" (aka KOB 2) was released. What a ride it's been since the original KOB film released to cinemas in 2018.
Thank you all for the love, the support, the trends, the posts, the memes, the think-pieces, the re-enactments, the selling out of our merch line, and of course you all cementing KING OF BOYS firmly in pop culture.
Thank you to all our amazingly talented actors/actresses of both installments, that have shared with us their incredible craft over the years, and helped create incredible characters, that will be remembered forever in the history of Nigerian cinema.
Thank you to the tireless crew that broke that backs for a place in history. This would never be possible without you. Raise a glass today and be PROUD. You creates this!!!
Lastly - Thank you ALL for anticipating KOB 3 as badly as we want to give it.
We know there's been lots of questions here, whispers there on whether KOB will ever come back... So we're here to remove all doubt on this precious one year anniversary release of KOB 2.
YES... KOB 3 is coming... And coming soooooooooon.
In the meantime... Get ready to experience #KOBArmyāļø interactive space, launching soon on .
God bless you all... And Long Live KOB!!!

This has become one of my favorite moments of the process.
I first did this in 2017. I posted up the title page for the KING OF BOYS script.
I had no agenda.
It was a public declaration to myself of the task I needed to accomplish. I was holding myself accountable to the mission.
A couple years later, I did same for KING OF BOYS 2. And only last week, someone reminded me of the script title-page posted for TO KILL A MONKEY in 2022, and itās incredible journey since that unassuming moment.
So, keeping with tradition... Today... I post here, the title page for my new epic - THE STOOL.
Simple. Unassuming. Just the way itās older sibling-titles first appeared before it. Waiting for itās turn to be let in to the ring.
I leave it here not only as a reminder of the very beginning... but of its INEVITABLE future.
Iām focused. Iām hungry. I understand my mission and I see the vision very clear.
Like I said...
It. Is. INEVITABLE!

This passed Saturday was such a WONDERFUL day. Definitely filed away under great memories.
The ADETIBA/HEMAN-ACKAH squad took a trip down to Ibadan to celebrate with our SOBOWALE family.
Good food, great company, belly laughs... Oh what a wonderful time. I wish I caught a video or pic of my dad looking very handsome in his wine Agbada. But I did manage to steal a video of my mom grooving to the drums just outside the venue.
My MIMS found her KUNLE... An absolutely AMAZING guy who treasures her greatlyā„ļø
Thank you for letting us celebrate this joyous day with your family. It was so fun to dress up and get out there.
Looking forward to celebrating even more beautiful milestones togetherā„ļø
My wife, @kemiadetiba
Four years with you⦠and the depth of what we share keeps unfolding in ways that make me certain this is rare and inevitable.
You came into my life and didnāt just bring loveāyou brought clarity, peace, sanity, and a kind of joy that feels anchored.
What I cherish most is the way we choose each other, again and again, even when life stretches usāespecially then.
You see me. You believe in me. You steady me.
I do not take it for granted.
And today, I want to remind you how deeply I honor you, respect you, adore you, and love youānot just for who you are to me, but for the incredible woman you are in your own right.
Four years is not just timeāitās proof. Proof that what we have is strong. That itās worth everything. That itās only getting deeper, richer, more unshakable.
I look forward to everything ahead of usāthe dreams, the family weāre building, the silent battles, the loud victories, the quiet moments the world will never see but will mean everything to us.
You are my home, my partner, my peace⦠and my greatest gift.
Happy anniversary, baby.
Forever, undeniably yours.
Your protection feels like the warmest hug.
My happiness or sadness affects you greatly, and I guard that power with everything in me.
You are the most incredible thing i have experienced.
The best lesson I have learnt and still enjoy learning.
The original intention of LOVE.
Thank you for these spectacular 4 years.
GIVE⦠ME.. MORE!!!!!
I⦠WANT⦠MORE!!!
Happy Anniversary, baby @oscarhemanackah
