A Journey to Africa is Lil Win's second international project after A Country Called Ghana, which premiered in April 2024.

The actor is one of Nollywood's most recognisable faces, with a career spanning more than two decades.

In a video shared by Ghana Trends, the ladies presented the wrapped portrait to Ezuruonye, explaining that it was a gift from members of their crew.

Clearly delighted, the actor thanked them repeatedly and told them he loved them. He jokingly said the portrait would not be checked in as luggage but would sit with him all the way to Nigeria.

Ezuruonye also spoke about the purpose of the project, saying it was meant to promote the healthy relationship and similarities between Ghana and Nigeria.

He added that the film would showcase both countries' culture, sound and diversity, as well as their unity.
