"When I first came back, which was about 2009-2010, I think the cinema culture was just taking off. Figurine had just come out, "Ije" had just come out, and you could see that there was a big jump in production value and production quality in Nigerian film, especially for the cinemas. That carried on for a few years. But lately, I haven't been overly impressed with the films that have been in the cinema. "
