Episode description

Before Nollywood came calling, Collins Okoh worked for Nigeria's Ministry of Health while nursing a dream of becoming a novelist. But that all changed when Nollywood actor, producer, and director Funke Akindele Bello invited him to collaborate on her 2020 film, Omo Ghetto: The Saga. Since then, Collins and Funke have churned out some of the highest grossing movies in Nollywood history including A Tribe Called Judah. All these movies have all surpassed the 1-billion-naira mark. Collins joins us to share his insights and his formula for writing box office hits. Plus, a Maryland resident trying to renew her driver's license discovers that she has been registered as dead though she is very much alive.
