Kunle Afolayan, an actor cum movie producer has been getting a lot of positive reviews for the impact he has made in the Nigerian films industry based on his unique efforts and creativity.

Afolayan has raised the bar in Nollywood and challenged other producers to up the ante in respect to the amount of work they put into movie production.

According to a source who spoke to Punch News, the filmmaker now has his eyes set on taking over the African continent in terms of movie production.

If he successfully does this, Afolayan will be breaking a norm that has seen Nigerian movie producers limit their trade to neighbouring Ghana.

“He has made the statement he wanted to make with The Figurine, Phone Swap, October 1 and his movie, The CEO is selling in Nigeria now."

"So he wants to explore Africa beyond the usual Ghana that Nigerian producers explore."

After successfully gathering various international actors in his movie, "The CEO", which was premiered on-board an Air-France flight from Lagos to Paris, then subsequently in Nigeria, there is no question about what this energetic film icon can achieve.
