The film was shot in both Ibadan, Nigeria in November 2019 and Houston, Texas, United States in February 2020.[3][4] The US filming rounded up before the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdown began.[3] The language used in the film is majorly English with a minor mix of Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa languages. The film premiered on 10 September 2021 at Terra Kulture, Lagos.[6][7]
