There was a lot of Conspiracy against me. It was intense. What I encountered and became free, some might lose it in the process. We have the good and the bad in the industry. They would smile to my face but behind plan my downfall. It started with some of my colleagues saying “is he the only one? He’s not a Yoruba man.”

There was a time when Femi Adebayo was on my set three times a week. He will be on my constant set with Fathia Balogun. The money I paid then wasn’t small.

My movies were always in demand and no one wanted to exchange them for others. They were sold at full price. That caused some tension so they conspired against me. Despite everything, I give thanks to God.
