[00:03:34] through this new uh movie, yeah,
[00:03:37] and um, i saw the thriller last
[00:03:39] of week and i was like, oh,
[00:03:41] b, emmanuel, it's up again for another thriller that will blow the minds
[00:03:45] of nigerians, mean, so
[00:03:47] in um,
[00:03:48] of jesus was amongst other things a storyteller, and he just told
[00:03:51] captivating stories, and stories have a way of
[00:03:55] driving home the point, because they bring you
[00:03:58] into scenarios.
[00:04:00] you can now see
[00:04:00] in yourself in familiar situations who have been
[00:04:04] here before and this is how i
[00:04:06] a would act if it where me and all of that and that's why it drives lot of
[00:04:10] conversations and that's why beyond semons
[00:04:14] i'm really passionate about storytelling and
[00:04:17] honestly the level of impact is totally different the kind of
[00:04:21] feedback that i get and all of that yeah that's
[00:04:25] that's why that informs my passion for story telling interesting so
[00:04:29] noticed that on your instagram we don't see like clips of
[00:04:33] it, is that
[00:04:34] in like intentional? think i've only seen one post where you've spoken about
[00:04:37] meltdown, um, so we're going to put more clips of,
[00:04:41] did put a trailer, mean that's on
[00:04:44] instagram, the post on your page, oh yes, yeah, maybe well,
[00:04:48] my post has lot of uh updates, so maybe it's
[00:04:52] somewhere down down, maybe we should just watch the trailer for those who have not seen it now,
[00:06:54] when i saw that um trailer last week, i'm like, okay,
[00:06:58] stop act, but then these people, we know them
[00:07:02] to act differently, i'm talking romantically
[00:07:06] in other movies, and then this is supposed to
[00:07:09] portray christ like living, is that? Yeah, so
[00:07:13] narrative entertainment is
[00:07:14] a faith-based um organization, so we
[00:07:18] may not necessarily be preaching in our presentation, yeah,
[00:07:21] but uh, we want to leave the bread
[00:07:25] crumbs, leave um faith based principles there and and
[00:07:29] tell real life stories from the lens um the
[00:07:33] logos of speak to us on the casting then why these set of
[00:07:36] so that's part of that's part of what I'm saying like I
[00:07:40] just come up with the story. and leave
[00:07:43] it to professionals to do the casting so i don't do casting
[00:07:46] myself right so the only person
[00:07:50] picked was
[00:07:51] omami
[00:07:54] yes i am trying to uh before
[00:07:58] you answer this question i was telling myself mean he's a pastor mean
[00:08:01] i i have been i have been on movie sets and i know how crazy they
[00:08:05] could be and and so on uh how do you how do
[00:08:09] you
[00:08:12] how do i
[00:08:12] how do i put it now? how do you arrange a
[00:08:14] movie
[00:08:17] set? not to interfere with your believes and
[00:08:21] your faith. that's number one. number
[00:08:24] two, when i saw the thriller, i said he's a
[00:08:28] pastor, come they are boxing each other and doing all this
[00:08:32] and so on. you know, i think that's that's part the issues that we
[00:08:35] have. um, we try to do church a
[00:08:39] bubble, and that's why we don't prepare people for real life situation. because
[00:08:43] everybody you see in their Sunday best is going to go to
[00:08:46] offices, they're going to deal with real life issues, believe me,
[00:08:50] sincerely, some christians have been punched and have
[00:08:53] punched, and all of that, for instance, and that's
[00:08:57] exactly what I'm dealing with, in in counseling lot of Christians, I've
[00:09:01] seen that as spiritual as they are, as religious as they are,
[00:09:05] they just have, yeah, self-limiting believes that
[00:09:09] came from their trauma, the kind of upbringing that the... so lot
[00:09:13] of people who are having struggles in marriage like the young
[00:09:17] man in the movie is is not a prayer
[00:09:20] issue, it's not a prayer issue and the kind
[00:09:24] of feedback i've gotten from this we just speaks to that and
[00:09:28] when it comes to movie sets, the truth
[00:09:31] is everything rises and falls on leadership,
[00:09:35] if the kind of person who is um putting together the
[00:09:39] movie, lot of people are are intelligent, they are...
[00:09:42] matter how rascally anybody wants to be, there are some things they
[00:09:46] won't do in an embassy for instance and all of that, and so
[00:09:50] we've never had any such issues, um, this is my fourth
[00:09:54] project and my second release, mean i
[00:09:56] said clean as a whistle, so for me what
[00:10:00] inspires melt down, yes, is this
[00:10:04] a personal experience or the experience of as
[00:10:08] pastor, you meet a lot of people, and that's why you decide to come up with this?
[00:10:12] Oh my god, counselling people, counselling
[00:10:16] people, I mean it's proven psychologically
[00:10:19] that lot of
[00:10:21] people, the the way they act in.
[00:10:25] marriage is a projection of how they had relationship
[00:10:29] with their predominant caregiver when they were growing
[00:10:32] up and so sometimes because i've
[00:10:36] studied a bit the psychology just by seeing how people respond i
[00:10:40] can ask questions and i'm right 90% the time
[00:10:44] so if a child got used to um a caregiver not
[00:10:48] being present
[00:10:50] you know he will now develop what psychologist call an avoidance
[00:10:53] attachment hm so now that kind of
[00:10:56] person, now that kind of person, we
[00:11:00] just discover that in in marriage, he's
[00:11:03] reacting to presence, if you if you are the lovy dovy type, he will
[00:11:07] react to it, he won't like to be held for too long, he won't like to be
[00:11:11] hugged for too long, and he doesn't even understand why,
[00:11:15] because his entire neurological
[00:11:18] system has um attached those kind of
[00:11:22] behaviors to being unsafe,
[00:11:25] because if he brings himself to that point of
[00:11:28] vulnerability, it will trigger the feeling of rejection that he had
[00:11:32] repeatedly when
[00:11:33] it was growing up, so now even the Bible talks about
[00:11:37] renewing your mind, it's not just prayer, and so
[00:11:41] time and time again i've seen prayerful
[00:11:44] people, decent people, honest, in fact people who
[00:11:48] are good individually, but are not good together, together, interesting, and
[00:11:52] so those are kind of statistics, yes. the rate of
[00:11:55] divorce in the country and i see that you play
[00:11:59] a key role in ensuring that you councel young
[00:12:03] people in the church and you said something that it's not about prayer
[00:12:07] because we see lot of people come to the church to pray and at the end they get back home it's
[00:12:11] not only about prayer it's only about prayer they get back home and it's something
[00:12:15] else so how do we address this yes
[00:12:18] so uh you know like i said think a
[00:12:21] good scripture that puts case in point will be
[00:12:25] Romans 12 where he says versus one and two, paraphrasing,
[00:12:29] it says,
[00:12:32] um, um, renew your mind, present your body's living sacrifice, and then renew your
[00:12:36] mind, so there is what to do with your spirit, there's what to do with your
[00:12:40] mind, like I said, if you have limited limiting
[00:12:43] beliefs, case and points, the children of Israel were brought
[00:12:47] out of Egypt, but Egypt was never brought out them, it's a
[00:12:51] mind frame issue, it's it, so... even
[00:12:55] though desert, their minds kept going back, they they couldn't
[00:12:59] see themselves as better than slaves and all of that, it's
[00:13:03] very hard to sell a vision to people who haven't seen
[00:13:06] otherwise, and think it
[00:13:09] is underestimated the
[00:13:13] power for instance of growing up a wholesome family
[00:13:16] where you saw your dad love his wife
[00:13:20] consistently for years where you never saw him hit her or you
[00:13:24] never saw... her whole insults at him and you
[00:13:27] never saw all of that, lot of people don't understand the kind
[00:13:31] of emotional stability, a girl who grew up a
[00:13:34] household where her dad loved her and was present,
[00:13:38] that's not a girl you can throw sweets at on the streets and then
[00:13:42] you fall, mean back to the ground, exactly,
[00:13:46] so those are the kind of things that we're trying to deal
[00:13:49] with, not just the spiritual exercise part of it,
[00:13:53] but using the word of God. as a as as as logos, as
[00:13:57] logic, to create principles and patterns that can be
[00:14:01] repeated and that can transform your life
[00:14:04] in in the long term. so let's let's talk about this um trauma that
[00:14:07] is um prevalent with youths, the
[00:14:11] church is a place where some these people go and find the most
[00:14:15] peace, while for others they have
[00:14:18] their fair of trauma there, and i'm speaking to the
[00:14:22] growing rape allegations. we hear happen in
[00:14:26] churches, i don't know where you stand on that, what you
[00:14:30] would say to the youths, to the pastors, and then i think there's
[00:14:33] also this
[00:14:35] um a game where it's not a game now for the lack of better
[00:14:38] word, you calling out someone that's done something to
[00:14:42] you at the church, but withholding that person's name, where do you
[00:14:46] stand on that, do you think those people should actually call the name so that mean i
[00:14:50] mean, i think that when it comes to serious issues like
[00:14:54] rap fiable um essay
[00:14:57] allegations, i think that criminal issues should be dealt you
[00:15:01] know like criminal treated like criminal
[00:15:04] issues you know so it's
[00:15:07] different from every other thing, in fact the
[00:15:11] moment is a criminal issue is no longer pastoral
[00:15:13] matter, you you mean the the
[00:15:17] right authorities should you take on take it up from
[00:15:20] there um yes and the truth is and
[00:15:24] that's part of what I was saying earlier, the church is not a
[00:15:28] bubble, it's reflection of society, it's the same people in
[00:15:32] society that are coming to church, and unfortunately even
[00:15:35] though church... she's a saddled
[00:15:39] with um immense responsibility, the reality
[00:15:42] is that lot of people come to church too
[00:15:46] late and this is it's just the same way an
[00:15:50] a hospital you can there's some people who are dead arrival there are some
[00:15:54] people who you know like we hear it all
[00:15:58] the time if symptoms persist after three days
[00:16:01] consult exactly so lot
[00:16:05] of pastors have to do the work both both of
[00:16:09] pastors and of parents, because you see people who are
[00:16:12] who were never really um parented well and then you have to
[00:16:16] start a fresh and teach them things that you shouldn't have to have taught them,
[00:16:20] so um so it's not just
[00:16:24] something that happens in religious settings even though the shock value
[00:16:28] is higher there, but it's reflection of something that happens
[00:16:32] everywhere and I don't think it's even more in religious institutions, like I
[00:16:35] said the shock value is more there.
[00:16:37] but it's it's an issue plaging our society. now let's go back to film
[00:16:41] production. um, we don't have lot
[00:16:45] of faith based movies in Nigeria.
[00:16:49] I'm wondering why uh, we have, you are pastor and you are
[00:16:53] into this business, how come you, you're
[00:16:56] not uh putting films together that uh,
[00:17:00] that are completely christian so to
[00:17:04] say. mean, so first and foremost, my wife is also a movie.
[00:17:08] and my wife has movies that are completely
[00:17:11] Christian and like I
[00:17:14] said is just when when Jesus comes on the
[00:17:18] scene and he he says the kingdom of heaven
[00:17:22] is like a marchant seeking goodly pers now that's something that is
[00:17:26] relatable a business socio
[00:17:29] economic sense yeah but it's also a kingdom
[00:17:32] lesson so the truth is many times you want to
[00:17:36] portray churches, pastors in the movie, as if that's
[00:17:40] all the the world has to show, there are real life
[00:17:43] issues, people, the average christian will go to church once
[00:17:47] in seven days, what about those other seven days, what does the word of God have to
[00:17:51] say about those days,
[00:17:53] you know, and that's my preoccupation, and also I have
[00:17:57] bias, I just feel like if I want to preach a sermon, I just preach a
[00:18:01] sermon, I preach lot, I preach every day, every day, you get what
[00:18:05] I'm saying, so I, I don't necessarily have to. in movies, there's no
[00:18:08] rule that says that because I'm a pastor, I must preach, no, I'm just, I'm looking
[00:18:12] at the movie industry generally, like in music, we have
[00:18:15] afro bee, we have this, we have jazz, and believe me, there are so
[00:18:19] many fit based movies, they
[00:18:23] just, they just need more sponsorship, they just need more
[00:18:26] encouragement,
[00:18:28] you know, and and and all of that, let me be a bit personal
[00:18:32] at the moment, because you've been so quiet here,
[00:18:34] and I want to take you off your seats, um, how do you do the
[00:18:38] balancing? okay, because I know you as
[00:18:41] pastor, you father, yes, your teacher, so how do you
[00:18:45] balance? you're also a storyteller, yes, so what time do you
[00:18:49] have
[00:18:50] to do all this, because i i told you earlier that your
[00:18:54] service center in our god is do very well, thank you, so i know you as very busy
[00:18:58] man, now doing storytelling, where's the
[00:19:01] balancing? okay, so let's let's start with milk down, i was
[00:19:05] on set. three
[00:19:07] times throughout the whole two weeks
[00:19:11] the about of casting i mean of shooting i was on set three
[00:19:15] times and each the three times i wasn't there more than
[00:19:18] two hours really oh yes so you were not you're not in the
[00:19:22] movie is that yeah i i'm a movie
[00:19:25] actually see you in the trailer anyway no it's
[00:19:29] deliberate so you've re the
[00:19:32] surprise for it's okay yeah
[00:19:35] so um i'm not a movie I'm I'm I'm a
[00:19:38] movie um so let me let me explain it this
[00:19:41] way something that everyone can relate to you're trying to
[00:19:45] travel and you want to be lazy with your packing so you just
[00:19:49] throw all your clothes into the into the
[00:19:53] traveling bag and you just realize that when you're trying to zip
[00:19:55] it there isn't enough space also it appears but
[00:19:59] then you now bring everything out and begin to fold
[00:20:03] everything and then suddenly everything can fit I think that's that's a
[00:20:06] parable of. my life that um, if you create a space for
[00:20:10] everything and put everything a space, it you
[00:20:13] be surprised how many things you can do, so i've built
[00:20:17] systems, i'm i'm also releasing two music albums this
[00:20:20] year, okay, mean obviously gospel right,
[00:20:24] okay, you're a pastor of many
[00:20:26] exactly, and look, he is just talented person,
[00:20:30] happens to be pastor, you can put it
[00:20:33] that, but i think that... the
[00:20:37] the analogy give, and this is the same way we have
[00:20:41] stereotyped the application the word of God, we have
[00:20:44] lights in this studio, and if a place
[00:20:48] is dark and suddenly light. start shining, you look at the light and that's
[00:20:52] good, you can observe the light, but most importantly the purpose the light is
[00:20:56] that because the light you can see other things, not that you see the light, but because
[00:21:00] the light you can see other things, so we like to look at
[00:21:03] theology, we like to enjoy church services, but the real
[00:21:07] purpose is to take that light into
[00:21:10] society, so that's one of my core
[00:21:13] assignments and so that you can find Jesus in
[00:21:17] music, Jesus in movies and have real social
[00:21:21] impact and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing to also model it for other
[00:21:25] Christians to say, listen, this is the purpose of light,
[00:21:29] because I mean the kind of the kind
[00:21:32] of impact that the movies have had, the kind of conversations they
[00:21:36] spark, the kind of people who have come into you know my
[00:21:39] DM and the kind of, I mean you you be, you'l be shocked, so are you also having
[00:21:43] plans to go into politics because you you've done everywhere, the last
[00:21:47] time I was here, you people. i have
[00:21:51] i have no plan whatsoever
[00:21:54] whatsever when is it when are you
[00:21:58] releasing it? mean so a meltdown has been released in in the past
[00:22:02] couple of days 10 days and counting now and you don't have to go to a
[00:22:05] traditional cinema for it um we're doing
[00:22:09] something innovative is an online cinema so you go to the
[00:22:13] website watchmaildown.com and then
[00:22:17] when you get the ticket it sends a link. to your
[00:22:20] email and then you are able to watch it any device, anywhere in the

[00:28:13] empow yout in
[00:28:15] creating
[00:28:17] uh um a branch which is going to begin in
[00:28:20] Abuja which is the capital because uh the Nigeria Football
[00:28:24] Federation has been the the the
[00:28:27] pioneer of everything I have achieved today and the super hegos players
[00:28:31] at large you. because they gave me partform, they gave me, they gave me chance
[00:28:35] and opportunity to chase my dream and to to tell other
[00:28:39] youth out there about um ensuring to make sure
[00:28:43] that dream is achievable no matter how it
[00:28:45] is
[00:28:53] probably actually says in English, a
[00:28:56] child that spread is is our arms, the
[00:29:00] parents the mother carries i have i have tried to
[00:29:04] achieve lot of things in myself, but with the help
[00:29:07] the football federation, with the help of
[00:29:10] national NLC, national sports
[00:29:13] commission,
[00:29:18] the NFF president, all the super eagles
[00:29:21] player, the super
[00:29:25] captain, and all the, in
[00:29:29] fact, i must say, must say this guinness
[00:29:32] not have come to stand if uh my state governor
[00:29:36] was not actually involved, if the minister of
[00:29:39] youth uh honorable one was
[00:29:43] not involved, if the national sport commission was not involved, because
[00:29:47] i these are the people that came around and my bros
[00:29:50] id sponsor the the
[00:29:54] event,
[00:29:54] you know, i can i can mention, keep mentioning, the national sports
[00:29:58] commission chairman came gave me, because i could remember
[00:30:02] my team went to the national buse, i actually go for
[00:30:06] this event twice,
[00:30:07] i could remember when i did the the first one in June last year
[00:30:10] 2025, did for seven days, so because of some
[00:30:14] technical issues, the guinness world record have a standard,
[00:30:18] so they have to cancel it, i could i could
[00:30:22] imagine what i went through, disappointing a whole
[00:30:25] institution,
[00:30:26] disappointing states
[00:30:30] governor, because i could remember the last time did the first one
[00:30:33] did had to flip down to abuja to
[00:30:37] national stadium to support me and i know how these things feels and i
[00:30:41] know how everything super players were very
[00:30:45] disappointed that why would i what happened you know but because
[00:30:48] guinness b record new the magnitude of our project as
[00:30:52] and um they had to give me the second chance and said
[00:30:56] hey tijo signature you and your team to come together and make sure that
