In the just-released trailer for Brotherhood, GreoH Studios’ long-awaited first cinema release of the year, Tobi Bakre (The Blood Covenant) and Falz (Chief Daddy 2) star on opposite sides of the law.
Tobi Bakre is an actor, model, host, compere, and photographer. He rose to fame after finishing up as a finalist in the Big Brother Naija reality TV show in 2018.
Talking about fatherhood, Tobi said, fatherhood inspires him, because now he is more like to do anything for himself and his family and he wants his son to grow and be proud of his father and to do that, he has to live an exemplary life.
What’s the experience like for you going from a reality tv star to a movie star?
I just have the motto of whatever it is you are given to do in life, just do it very well because it kind of opens doors for other things to come. So Big Brother came and after that, I dappled into acting, it wasn’t like a plan, I just dappled into it but I put in good efforts.

Tobi shared that Gangs of Lagos was his first lead serious film and it was very challenging. I believe the Gangs Of Lagos will be one of the best products in films out of Africa.
In his new movie, Brotherhood, Tobi shared that it is the best thing that will happen to Nigerian cinema. “It is a whole experience and it’s what movies in cinema should look like. It is a movie we are all going to be proud of, this is the new standard” he added.
The crime-action thriller promises to be an emotionally-grounded story exploring familiar themes like the bonds of family, betrayal, and love. “I came from the exact same street. I chose to be a better man,” declares Falz.
