On his part, the producer, Fola Onifade said, “I decided to do this huge movie project to enlighten the people about the history of Lagos. There is a popular misconception that Lagos is a no-man’s land. I want everyone to know that Lagos is somebody’s land; it belongs to a group of people.
“It’s a fact finding and historical movie. It has the blessing of the Obas of Lagos. However, it’s being solely financed by me alone for now. However, I can assure you that it will cart away a lot of awards nationally and internationally, as it’s a blend of the best hands in the industry. It’s a movie that will become a force to be reckoned with in the industry”.
