Speaking further he said that Nollywood must look inward and make deliberate efforts to promote and sustain our cultural values. “It was when I got here that I realized the seriousness of today, I am perhaps the only one here wearing oyibo attire. I like this initiative and I wish we can take it further to the national level where we say on this day, all we shall eat, wear or promote is our traditional and culture.

We live in a time when our children are loosing our mother language; very good idea by Don Pedro Aganbi and his team”
