"I only own a computer I use to edit videos in my office," TG revealed on the podcast.
TG claimed that he uses production studios that provide him access to the tools he needs for shooting.

Boy Director as he is fondly called, explained that he first heard about music video directing while he was a student at Wale Adenuga PEFTI Academy.
"I wanted to study film production, but they could not even afford to buy me a laptop, so I went for performing act because all you need is just to be present on stage. So it was in school that I discovered that there is a career called music video director, and you don't even need to have anything, you can actually rent."

A videographer hardly owns a professional camera, it is not mandatory
A fast-rising Nigerian video director, Cultured by Nappy, used himself and his colleagues to point out that not every videographer owns a professional camera of their own.
He further emphasised that most of them have simple pocket or travel cameras, except for the likes of Clarence Peters, a veteran in the field who is more likely to have enough funds to purchase the hefty professional cameras used in music videos
"Not every one of us owns a camera, so we rent," he laughs. It's just a few people that own the big cameras, someone like Clarence Peters has a couple. It's a few directors that have had money to buy and keep for themselves. But many of us do not own the big ones used in shooting because we mostly have the portable cameras or travel cameras we use to do little things until a big project comes up that requires us to rent.
It is not mandatory we own a camera to do big things, there are companies that render the service of lending their equipment to us.
