Mo Bimpe wrote: “I’ll be talking about LISABI’s mother- The legendary BIMBO AKINTOLA.

“The role was originally for someone very dear to me but at the last minute, she cancelled on me.
I was devastated. This wasn’t just any role. For me,it was the most crucial part of the film and I had personally casted my fav for this role, “How do I get another perfect actor in such a short time”?. An A list actor who will bring our vision to life in some hours felt impossible. At that moment, I just went somewhere, broke down and cried my eyes out!

“My husband, however, refused to give up. He placed a call through on the spot after deep thinking to Aunty Bimbo. She wasn’t available, she was to travel out of the country the next day! but when she heard the story and how tight we were, she said YES! She made a trip down to Oyo, had her training and took her scenes all under 12 hours so she could make it back to Lagos to catch her flight to the US. She made a promise and she fulfilled her promise!

“I’ve seen some reviews that we didn’t dive deep into Lisabi’s mother, but you all didn’t realize how tough it was, we even had to cut out some intended scenes, It was literally one of the most hectic day on set for all of us! We were on our feet all day! but thankfully, Mama didn’t just deliver, she gave everything, a special delivery! Truly flawless! As you all can see!

“Here’s me saying thank you my woman @bimboakintola for making this film even more special! You will call one and ten will answer. We are truly grateful! May God bring you helpers from where you least expect because you came through for us at our lowest! I have been your fan since I was a child and glad to finally work with you on my own project Ma.

“In all you do, Please do not ever give up no matter the circumstance or challenges you face, One thing is certain, when we humans decide to be humans, God will always show up as God. I am grateful to everyone who supported me on my first massive project, you have given me your Aro, I will be happy to repay whenever you need me by Gods grace. Thank you all ! Await more stories, I have a lot to say.”
