Above the fray.
Think it would be more poignant if he was portrayed by foreign actors.

Osita Iheme as Umar

Not sure if you are a fan of The Wire, but HBO released webisode prequels for some of the characters to promote the show one year. They showed Prop Joe as a kid in one of them.

Nollywood actor you listed here could play Tariq as a kid, hustling other kids.

*here he is as a kid doing the same celebration he did when the last crowdfunding check cleared.

film is Baby Police

"I am a hustling Dada, I do business"
The actor who often teams up with him, Chinedu, would play Tommy.
