“I am not interested, why will I be praying for what I am not interested in? Whenever I am interested, I will submit a film and give it to them to see,” he stated.
Reflecting on the situation, Ibrahim added, “I have thought about it, why don’t they invite me because I see younger people attending and winning. Do you know how many awards are in my house?”
