Million, Six Hundred Thousand Naira) making the Biggest Film in Nigeria.
“If you asked me how it all happened,” AY said from the bottom of his
happy heart, “perhaps I would give you a couple of success nuggets. But
beyond nuggets, and how-to’s, I know there’s an unseen hand behind that
has helped me from January to December. And this unseen hand is the hand
of God.
“That is not taking, for granted, the efforts of people, brands and
organisations, whom though time won’t permit me to mention them all,
were part of my success story in 2014.
“With a grateful heart, I appreciate Maltina for Powering AY Live from
Lagos to Port Harcourt and to Abuja; Lekki Gardens, for generously
consolidating my Ambassadorship; the Cast and Crew of 30 Days in
Atlanta, for giving Nollywood a film to be proud of; Silverbird
Distribution Company, for doing an excellent job with 30 Days In Atlanta
across Cinemas in Nigeria; Midas Interiors, for lavishly, furnishing my
new home; my super fans for showing me the most love this year; the
Media for telling and re-telling my stories; and yes, YouTUBE, for
providing a terrific platform to publish my Comedy Skits.
“Thank you, all for being part of my Team-Success in the year 2014.”
