He continued, "Mummy, thank you for seeing something in me, believing in my potential and using your heart to open this door for me."
Oboh-Oshioke added, "Your support has moved this dream from a conversation to a real-life experience. Mummy, my God will bless and perfect all that concerns you in Jesus’ name. I will never take this for granted Ma."
He posted a video showing his journey from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos to Gatwick Airport in London. Oboh-Oshioke said this trip is the start of a new phase in his filmmaking career.
He wrote, "So, this is not just another trip. It’s a new chapter, a new frame and definitely a bigger production!"
He also said, "From Lagos to London, the camera keeps rolling… and I’m grateful for every scene."
He added, "Now, enough talking… London Film Academy… LEGGO!"
