Despite her first discouragement, she decided to go for it. Now, Kadiri has two million YouTube subscribers. "I have been a producer for a long time but there are too many rules and regulations during

production," she stated. "So I called my colleagues and asked for an opportunity to express myself. For example, if I see anything online, I want to study it and then upload it somewhere.

When I was travelling to give birth, I became bored and began watching a lot of musical videos, and I realised that some individuals uploaded their films on YouTube. "I

promised myself that I'd come back and attempt it. Some people discouraged me, claiming that there is no money in it. But

because I wanted a forum to express myself and communicate my stories, I decided to give it a shot. "I told my team that we should shoot, and if the film isn't good enough, we'll learn from it.
