TheNewsGuru recalls that back in July 2020, Ikorodu Bois received an invite to the premiere of Hollywood thriller, Extraction 2.
Sharing how they felt about the invitation, the spokeman of the group,Tunde Sanni said:“We had been working on the ‘Extraction’ video since May. However, it took us a lot of time and stress to shoot the video. It took me time to edit too.
“Our prayer then was to for the video to get to the producers and actors of the movie. We honestly didn’t expect it to get this far. This is a reward for our hard work and consistency. Before the video was released, we were already persuading our fans on Twitter to tag Netflix and the producers of the movie.
“When we eventually released the video, it started generating buzz in five hours and the Russo Brothers retweeted it in about six hours. We were at home with our parents when it happened. Immediately we saw the retweet, people started calling us. We were so excited that Ikorodu (Lagos State) talents were getting international recognition. It’s a big one for me and my brothers. We would urge other talented young Nigerians to keep doing what they are good at. It’s a dream come true for us.”
