pride goes before downfall. If its pride, he should get ready for the other side

Hear Odun's side of the story first na.

NIGERIAN MEDIA WITH THEIR LIES.
These jobless writer has obviously been paid to write rubbish to tarnish Odun's image.
The more you people try, the more the guy keep going higher.

Since when did he start speaking good English that he now features in English-speaking movies? I have heard from his colleagues that he's an humble man. He might have disappointed those folks knowing fully well that that could expose his poor proficiency the more.

I'm not sure it's pride knowing his background but you know the thing with Nigerians,we're very judgmental.any small action and inaction will be mistaken as pride.he's a human being first before being a celebrity. He might have personal or domestic issues he's going through that made him not to show up.but because people don't know they'll start judging him unfairly

Don't mind some stupid people. The moment they have issues with a person, they run to th Internet to right rubbish stories dent the person's image. When he didn't show up for these movies or premiers, did they ask him why? Did they bother to find out? As usual, we all run to instagram, Facebook and the re to right against the person. If you have issues with someone, try to sort it out one on one like an adult. Confront the person and stop running up and down social media.

Writing negative stories about anybody won't change anything.

then he need to explain to people not keeping mute

Whoever is sponsoring this hasn't said anything.

My thought exactly

Too bad if this is true. I dont watch Yoruba movies much but I would surely watch anyone with this guy in it. He takes whatever role he acts to the next level. It would be really bad if he lets unprofessionalism ruin his career.

Ever wondered what happens in a celebrities head when fame comes calling and their fame skyrockets?




One thing remains a fact....... losing one’s credibility along in lineof being famous is a big fail.

Nollywood has got many great actors but one who has continuously stood out over the course of his career is Yoruba actor, Odunlade Adekola.


Odunlade Adekola started his career back in 1996 but became active in 2006. The actor ruled the Yoruba sector to a core but he has since made his way into the English crowd where he seems loved and respected just as much.

While it cannot be contested that Odun is a great and phenomenal actor, the news and reports trailing him in recent times has left people wondering as to what exactly might be happening to the young man who supposedly has everyone in his corner.

Two years ago, he got his first English debut in the movie ‘Taxi Driver’ one would have thought that Odun would be proud of this step, the actor was reported to have been un-bothered about the state of the movie to the extent that he failed to promote it despite the fact that he was paid higher than his usual fee.



Truth is, Odun’s role could have been interpreted better by anyone...

His actions towards the movie could have been said to be a mistake that could not be avoided, Odun pulled yet another stunt with Funmi Holder’s movie ‘The Grudge’. He was said to have failed to turn up at the location while the movie was being shot and his hotel room left vacant because he failed to show up.


To add to it, Odun failed to show up at the premiere after stating that he was going to be there and once again failed to promote the movie on any of his social platform.

His recent action is his lack of commitment to a contract he had signed with the former MD of M-Net Africa, Biola Alabi on her recent movie. It was reported that Odun had failed to show up once again. These re-occurring acts from him has shown that Odun is beginning to thread a path of those who have taken their fame for granted.


Odun is starting to lose his credibility amongst his colleagues especially at a point where his career seems to be doing so well. It is important to ask if Odun has lost the touch of professionalism?
Is his fame starting to get the worst of him? Is this a deliberate action on his path? Broadway Africa decided to reach out to the Nollywood actor but all efforts to get to him through phone calls and text messages has been futile as he has refused to acknowledge any of them.

I thought I was the only one thinking like this. Happy someone else saw it for the smear campaign that it is.

The problem with him is greed and lack of good management. He wants the money but knows he cant attend or honour the contract. He picks the money and attends the most paid jobs. LESSON; dont give contracts based on family or friendship, let business be business. You mess up, i press for damages

I keep dreaming of the day I'll meet this great actor. I even mimmick him when I speak! I know he's not proud.

Odunlade, I drew him sev

Fame not tamed brings shame.
Someone who knows him should drum the above line into his head.

Simfem99:
Good day to u all.... I want to state here with all sense of humility and sincerity that there must be miss up somewhere because I have privilege of working closely with Odunlade for more than six years and I can say here categorically that Odun is not part of an actor that will collect money for a production and end up to disappoint the producer.
He really understand the norms and ethic of his chosen profession (Filmmaking), but on this note I want to beg all memebers of this forum to take this matter easy because we are only reacting on one side story... We should understand that journalism is all about balancing.
Sir/ma, I want to make it clear here that I'm only saying all what I know about this great actor.
He is one actor that respect the feeling of everyone around him, he don't miss pleasure with his job and many professional coallgues can testify to this.
His humility, dedication and submissiveness is second to none.
And I knows that this young, talented and highly focus actor is a friend of media practioners and he can never take any journalist for granted, if u have privilege of holding his mobile phone for just 20 minutes u will understand him even more better.
Imagine 200 missed calls withing 30minutes.... It is our prayers and supports that keep him going and he always appreciate this whenever he have opportunity to address public.
He is a listening type and whatever u have as a suggestion or words of advise should be direct to him @odunladeomoadekola on Instagram...
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
God bless Nairaland
God bless u and i
One love

miss up

This is obviously a sponsored post which reeks of jealousy and envy. So laughable that SDK blog published this write up without thorough investigation with majority hitting back at Stella. Funny enough many Nairalanders are toeing this path by crucifying this fine actor.
Poor journalism .Iranu

exactly. Nigerians have taken cyber bullying and cyber monitoring to a whole new level like they don't have a life outside social media

God bless you. this is what is killing Nigerians , they always want to please everyone . ppl dont need to understand you or what you are doing as long as you understand yourself and what you are doing .
you owe no one any explanation for your actions because you are solely and totally responsible for any action you take

fool, can you lock your father up if he fails to honour a deal with you. Didnt you use your weak brain to read between the lines that he had cordial relationship with the people mention?

He could have been sued if all these shit happened..

Fake stories/rumours circulating everywhere...

Abi who could let someone go away with the money he doesn't work for, who does that?

Unverified stories is what Nigerian's are enticed to most.

E just tire me..

typical Nigerian style of jumping into conclusion. Did you hear his side of the story ? How true is the story ? before you judge hear from both sides

LordofNairaland:
Maybe he developed cold feet and feared that he would gbagaun and be laughed at.

exactly my thought! u know he is not too fluent in speaking English

hi. can you reply my mail?

I saw him live at the Lagos International Trade Fair last year, at the Globacomm stand he was a crowd puller. I was impressed how he was humble funny and entertaining.

We have heard one side of the story let's hear the other.

Contracts should be all inclusive and not after signing the contract you want him to do extras
