One of the lead actors in highest grossing Nigerian movie, ‘A Tribe Called Judah“, Tobi Makinde, has revealed the process he went through in order to deliver an outstanding performance, citing Singer, Portable as his inspiration.

“The character Shina stretched me creatively in the sense that I had to enter another realm, a realm that I had never been to before. Actors draw inspiration from so many things. Some draw from past experiences, and some draw from the experiences of other people”

“For me, I had to pick a reference and it was Singer Portable because when I saw the character that was being created, I felt that he was the best reference to use to interpret the role. I had to do to follow Portable on social media to watch his videos. He makes me laugh and I learned a lot from watching him do his thing. I also had to pull a lot of street language to bring the character to life.”
