He stated that the movie is currently in pre-production, and the script is being written by “gifted individuals.”

The actor said the movie will star actors from different countries in Africa.

He will also be embarking on the next phase of visiting the countries to carry out auditions. He said:

I have plans to shoot a film on xenophobia. I will use mainly South African actors who will work with others from Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Kenya  and Botswana.

What I want to achieve in the movie is to turn the table around and help in promoting peace on  the long run.

The pre-production is on now. The scripting is also on. When I return to Nigeria, we will meet with the directors and technical crew to discuss the effects of the plot.

When the plot  impacts on  our thinking, then we would have achieved something.
