“This is my first cinema film, and honestly, it feels like a dream come true,” she said. “You know how you just have things in your brain, and then seeing it play out eventually, it’s surreal. I don’t know if I’m having an out-of-body experience, but I am trying to stay in the moment and stay present. I’m grateful for this opportunity.”
When asked what made this film stand out for her, she explained, “First of all, it’s my first cinema film. So, it’s a big deal! Also, the storyline.

Just a little teaser—carry yourself to the cinema to watch it. It’s a film you’ll truly enjoy.”
Ariyiike also expressed her gratitude to the people who supported her journey. “I’m thankful to the director for taking a chance on me. I’m also thankful to friends like Yolanda Okereke, who mention your name in rooms filled with opportunities. I’m grateful for everyone who’s been a part of my journey,” she said.
She encouraged fans to experience the magic of the film, describing it as “a beautiful film” with incredible casting, drama, comedy, and love. “A lot of money, passion, and emotions have gone into creating it. We made magic for you to enjoy, and I know you’ll love it,” she added.
