Shedding light on why he produced STRIVE, Mr. Omoefe said “The inspiration for this project ‘STRIVE’ evolved from the zeal for growth and possible contribution to the Nigerian Movie industry. I believe that the industry carries the image and brand of the African people”

“Our society lies in the era of change where new ideas have birth development in all spheres of our environment; still change seems still as it is much more resisted than understood and accepted. The movie drives to tackle the issues being faced in our society, previewing the different perspectives and façade of the life of an average Nigerian, the effect of good and positive attitude on bad behavior, outlining our country’s shortfalls and promoting hope for a greener country. In a bid to support the transformation campaign of our nation our organization intends to impact the film industry in Nigeria in the following ways” he said.

Also making the movie spectacular is that it was directed by Alex Mouth CEO Blast media international a media and Production Company. His passion for being challenged creatively has put him in high demand for movies across the country.

As frank makes headway in actualizing his dream he is forced to adhere to Bjay’s demands in satisfying Bjay’s client’s urge to have his childhood friend Jenny (Lillian Esoro). Frank and ray are found at cross roads and are torn between making the most important decision that may hurt them forever.
