As of 10 days last year, I sold ₦105 million, but this year, we have sold ₦205 million as of yesterday. That is 95.24%. This is God. This is growth. This is also love from fans and cinema attendants. Many people have tried to put down this work, but God, in His infinite mercy, has continued to show Himself as God.”
