According to Mayowa, in an interview at the Movie Premiere which was held at Lydia Hall, River Valley Estate, Ojodu Berger, Lagos; “Unemployment is a disease and we must all work hard to make ourselves a doctor that can cure it. And in order to be that doctor, one needs to start thinking of what one can do to be of help. And, one of such things that I feel every youth should do is getting themselves skilled.

“The short film is created to encourage every Nigerian youth with or without a job, schooled or unschooled, literate or illiterate to believe in themselves and to have hope of a better tomorrow.
The short film centered on the struggles of an average youth, with a humble background, raised by a single parent who also suffers from tuberculosis.
