Despite being a very smart lady and beautiful woman, the scar prevented her from getting a decent job, which further caused her great emotional scars too.
The movie features star actresses like Jaiye Kuti, evergreen actress Tina Mba, Jenifer Obodo, Mofe Duncan, Enem Ufot, Baaj Adebule, Chinoso Arubayi, and many others.
“I love the title ” Scarred “. Though producing it wasn’t easy I have to give kudos to my co-producer, Adeleye Fabusoro, and my crew, we worked ourselves out.. It wasn’t easy but I have my husband beside me, always mopping up my lapses wherever they are. Also playing a lead role could be tough , but we thank God we are able to succeed,” Jaiye Kuti said.
On her own part, Tina Mba said she took up the role she played in the movie based on the script.
” It was a very nice movie. When I was given the script I saw it as one movie that expantiates more on sincerity and submission of true love. So it never took me time to accept to be part of this project and I don’t have any regret whatsoever. ”

Co-Producer, Adeleye Fabusoro said producing such a big project is not new to him as he had produced many award winning TV series such as ‘Borokini’ and ‘Awon Aladun de’ but admitted ‘Scarred’ brought the best out of him.
“Obviously producing is not new to me, but I always aspire to be better than my previous work reason why I have to double my efforts together with Jaiye Kuti to produce this movie and I believe our efforts are well documented going by the feelers I got from the feedback from those who witnessed the premiere.”
Present at the premiere which was powered by Resq Promotions was CEO of SSAfri Homes and properties, Mr. Sunday Ayeni, Dr. Awa Ibraheem FCA, Mr. Dubem Orji ( Marketing Manager Hero larger) and a host of other dignitaries.
