According to Gloria Sarfo, her exploits in Ghana and Nigeria had exposed her to how much her home country was lagging behind.

"Honestly, if you're in Nigeria as an actor, you'd realise that you've REALLY WASTED YOUR TALENT back in Ghana. As in, people are shooting on a daily basis, back to back, nonstop. Meanwhile, in my country, Ghana, producers STRUGGLE to even shoot one film in a year!! It's CRAZY, totally disheartening. What has happened to our industry??? Talents are BEING WASTED."
