Zeb Ejiro, the legendary filmmaker and Sheik of Nollywood, is a man on a mission. Despite his monumental contributions to the Nigerian movie industry, hes frustrated by the lack of support from his home state, Delta. Hes passionate about grooming his successors and developing the entertainment industry in the state. Ejiros vision is to transform Delta into the entertainment hub of Nigeria, but successive governments in the state have failed to recognize his efforts.
Sharing his sad experience with our reporter in a recent chat, Ejiro stated that despite the treatment meted to him, hes still willing to mentor the Delta youths in the art of film making and acting before he passes on.
His words: "I am tired of these disappointments. They are denying the youths the opportunity to tap from my wealth of knowledge. I want to mentor them now that Im still strong, fit and getting better in terms of my creativity,"
