It's a wrap on my first feature film as a Producer 🎥🥳🎊🎉
Fred's Friend is a comedy horror with a beautiful twist, and it was a joy working on this.
This was a trial by fire, and I was blessed with an amazing cast and crew. You guys are the best I could ask for! ❤️🙏🏽 Thank you for your support, professionalism and dedication 💪🏽

What a year.
I’m thankful. Most of all, I’m thankful for the power of creation.
Counting my blessings, @musajefferydavid trusted me to write some episodes of @motherofthebridestv & I found Jeff to be an amazing person, an artist, a locomotive.
I connected with @okechukwuoku & found Okey to be a true artist with a big heart & passion for storytelling & film.
I connected with @byokpara in our shared disdain for wokism & our collective artistic passion for storytelling, for craft & craftmanship. You’re a brother indeed.
I connected with @mrxavierighorodje & he’s called “The GodEngine” for a reason.
I’m thankful for beautiful people.
I’m thankful for the power of creation.
Selah!
I was amazed when I found that @readthrifts.ng_ had DH Lawrence after I had been looking for his books for years. I’m still in awe of Lawrence’s sentences.

& that was how @musajefferydavid texted one morning &, by default—as it would always be—I answered, “Yes.” & just like that (maybe not quite), he offered me an opportunity to write my first TV episodes. & I read incredible stuff from amazing writers. & I felt the nerves writing every sentence. But then, pressure makes diamonds. & I made a few diamonds.
I know you must be tired of hearing this by now, but thank you Jeff. Thank you for putting me on.
This is one of many to come.
