Ghanaian actor and film producer Kwadwo Nkansah, widely known as Lil Win, has set the African movie industry abuzz after welcoming a stellar delegation of veteran Nollywood actors to Accra for his upcoming feature film, A Journey to Africa.
A viral video shared online captured prominent Nigerian screen icons including Destiny Etiko, Patience Ozokwor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, and Mike Ezuruonye arriving at the Accra International Airport on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The movie stars were greeted with warm Ghanaian hospitality as they touched down to begin production on what promises to be one of the biggest Ghana-Nigeria cinematic collaborations of the year.
The ambitious project marks Lil Win’s second major international movie initiative, following his highly successful 2024 production, A Country Called Ghana.
That earlier project similarly featured top-tier Nollywood talents, culminating in a star-studded premiere at the National Theatre in Accra in April 2024. Building on that momentum, Lil Win aims to further strengthen cross-border artistic partnerships between Ghallywood and Nollywood, bridging the cultural divide through storytelling and shared creative expertise.
Industry insiders note that A Journey to Africa is designed to highlight authentic African narratives, rich cultural heritage, and high-quality production standards tailored for both continental television audiences and global streaming platforms. The presence of household names like Patience Ozokwor and Kanayo O. Kanayo has already generated massive excitement across social media platforms, with fans eagerly anticipating behind-the-scenes glimpses from the set.
As principal photography commences across select locations in Ghana, media commentators and film critics have commended Lil Win for his unrelenting drive to elevate local film production and position Ghana as a competitive hub for high-budget African cinema.
