Speaking to Pulse Nigeria in 2017, Mike Ezuruonye said that he isn’t a fan of buffoonery, so he is making a different kind of comedy.

“I’m not a fan of buffoonery. Even if it’s comedy, it has to have a message to it, which is what we did with “Divorce? Not Allowed.”

“Divorce not Allowed” comes after Ezuruonye’s self-produced comedy movie “Brother Jekwu,” which reportedly grossed 20 million naira in 10 days.
