During the interview, Deborah recalled how she was advised to produce movies for cinemas to get back her funding.
According to her, she was unaware that the process was complex, hence she invested heavily in the movie project only to be scammed.
In her words;
”was advised to venture into movie production for cinemas in Nigeria. However, while trying to do this, no one warned me that it was difficult and that there were certain procedures and processes to follow.
“Out of ignorance I invited and after the production, I suffered a huge loss while trying to sell it to cinemas”.
“The movie is still not out. When we finished the entire production and took it ti the cinema, I was scammed. they kept giving me fake assurances and even fake release date. I spent about N6 million on fake processing and papers.
“Eventually, when the date arrived and the movie was still not showing, it dawned on me that Ihad been duped.”
