There are several elements that make up the essentials of the movie industry. However, out of all these elements too numerous to list out, two are very critical to achieve a crispy production: creativity and organisation. Creativity, as it has always been emphasised, is the currency of the art world. Without the expression of ingenuity in any work of art, especially in a movie production, such a work would be deemed meaningless because movies, noted as make-believe shows, are expected to transmit a message which would have a heartfelt impact on its audience. And transmitting such message would have to be done in a manner that is imaginative, believable and entertaining enough, to bring in some level of reality. Similarly, have a good organisational process is also very important in achieving an excellent movie production. As we have seen in today’s world, while having the talent and being creative is quite important, it is not an end in itself. If is no clear structure which will guarantee critical features such as order, hierarchy, and responsibilities among the cast and crew on set, amongst other things are not in place, then such a production, despite the creative geniuses surrounding it, would be a futile effort. There are very few individuals in the Nigerian movie industry who personifies the elements mentioned above like Saidi Balogun. A very talented actor, Balogun began acting professionally in 1978 and featured in several movies in the Nigerian movie industry. Although clearly more renowned for appearances in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood, he has also acted in a number of movies in the English genre of Nollywood. A versatile actor, Balogun is loved across the movie spectrum for his witty and creative interpretation of roles and scripts. For a person who never did anything close to theatre arts in a higher institution or went to any acting school, Balogun’s dexterity is not only surprising but very impressive. On how he got into the acting profession, he said; “Right from the day I was born. My father used to do comedy and the same blood flows in my veins. I decided to make mine commercial by showing it to the world. I did not want to do it the way my father did his by sitting down and making the whole community laugh, I decided to make mine international as well.” Buoyed by his charming looks, Balogun is always courted by producers and directors in the Yoruba film industry to feature in their movies. His staying power in the industry is quite remarkable, given how long he has maintained his grip in the industry. It is such dominance alongside his hilarious acting skills that has earned him nicknames such as “Walata”, “Omo Alhaja”, and “James Bond.” A respected veteran in Nollywood, the 49-year old actor has also shown another nifty side of him by diversifying into movie production and directing. Balogun, who is President of The Golden Movies Ambassadors, has produced and directed a number of landmark movies acclaimed as innovative. His first movie production was in 1989 with the movie titled “City Girl.” What is surprising is that he ventured into production just 11 years into his movie career and also did it at a time where actors in Nigeria, especially the young ones, were just content being actors and did not fantasise about going into movie production. Balogun, who has produced over 20 movies, has been hailed as a revolutionary in Nollywood, because of the quality of his films. Some of his movies scored a first not only in Nollywood but also in the African film industry. Among the list of his lengthy achievement includes the production of the first two-cast movie in Africa titled “Modupe Temi”, and the production of Africa’s first ever three-cast movie titled “Gbogbo Ere”. He also produced “Third Party”, the first ever ankara movie in Africa. These are indeed laudable achievements considering the complexity, technicality and extensive logistic required to bring these productions alive. Indeed, we celebrate the outstanding quality of a large cast and budget movie of foreign movies and ridiculously scandalise our own Nollywood movies, Balogun’s exploits with his history-making movies has shown that Nollywood can still produce wonderful films that can stand the test of time in terms of quality, technicality, and screenplay in comparison with same budget productions outside of the African continent Speaking on the inspiration for his unique movies scripts, Balogun said he is driven by the need to create art, spectacle, protest, stimuli, conversation, amusement and commerce. “My view of film is that a great film is both entertainment and art. The art in movies speaks to the human experience and it should do this in an entertaining way. These days, I produce movies not because I want to be known, but to nurture, teach and educate people on how to live peacefully in their marriage, in their place of work and as it applies to their day to day activities. We producers adapt three approaches to it. We tell the past, deal with the present and shape the future.” Emphasising more on how he produces his movies, Balogun talked about the importance of research saying; “I like research and that has reflected in most of my movies. I am the first actor in Africa who has produced a two-cast movie and the first to do a film where every actor and actress wore Ankara in West Africa. I also did a movie where I was the only black man, and also the first to do a three-cast movie. All these put together is a result of rigorous research.” Indeed, Balogun has explicitly demonstrated that the tripod of creativity, innovation, and organisation are very important factors which are needed to excel not just in the movie industry in Nigeria, but also in every profession and everyday life. And resourcefully combining all three factors together can place one on the path of making history, to always be remembered forever, as Balogun’s movies would always be. http://www.jalupon.com/saidi-balogun-visionary-filmmaker-and-thespian/

Nollywood is a coat of many colours with indigenous language productions in English, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa, among others. Nothing exemplifies these thriving genres than the decision of pay TV giant, Multichoice, to allot different 24 hour channels to these thriving genres on its platform in 2010 with the launch of Africa Magic Yoruba and Hausa available on Channel 118 and 117 respectively. Talents abound in Nollywood, yet very few are able to break the genre barrier to enjoy mass market acceptance across board among Nollywood fans in the English, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba genres. Ironically, the English genre part of Nollywood is largely being driven Igbo and Yoruba actors in spite of the situation of the National Film Institute in Jos in North Central Nigeria. Today, Nollywood’s best are largely exemplary Igbo and Yoruba genre practitioners that have become widely accepted by Nigerians for their first class English genre delivery, performance and production that gained acceptance among Nigerians. Below is the all time favourite list of top actors who are directors and producers in the Yoruba genre earning the sobriquet, Nollywood Best: 1. Saidi Balogun Popularly referred to as “Walata” by his fans, Saidi Balogun is an individual who epitomises class and longevity in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood. Balogun, who began his professional career in 1978, has featured in over 100 movies, both in the Yoruba and English genre of Nollywood. He has proven himself to be a versatile actor, playing different characters in the numerous movies he has been featured in. A respected veteran Nollywood, Balogun was one of the early birds who diversified into movie production. Balogun, who directed his first movie titled “City Girl’ at a relatively young age of 22, has produced and directed over 20 movies, some of which were historic makers in their own rights. He handled the production of movies such as “Modupe Temi”, the first two-cast movie in Africa; “Gbogbo Ere”, Africa’s first ever three-cast movie; and “Third Party”, the first ever ankara movie in Africa, all from the stables of his production outfit, The Golden Movie Ambassadors. Saidi Balogun has remained resilient, staying at the top of value chain in the movie industry. He remains the solid bridge between the past, present and future of Nollywood. 2. Kunle Afolayan The son of the legendary theatre performer, actor, and director, Adeyemi Josiah Afolayan, better known as Ade-Love, Kunle Afolayan has successfully followed in his father’s footsteps and has established himself not only as a great thespian, but also as a magnificent playwright, and a skilled producer and director. Afolayan, who shot into the spotlight in 2005, has featured in several movies as an actor. A very skilled actor who is very fluent in English and Yoruba languages and has made appearances in both movie genres, he, however, made his mark in Nollywood as a director and producer. The henchman of Golden Effect Pictures, Afolayan, together with his production outfit, have produced movies that have not only the captivated local audience but also enthralled audiences beyond the shores of Nigeria. Movies of Afolayan such as “The Figurine”, “Phone Swap” “October 1”, have won numerous local and international awards and have also been featured at international film festivals. Apart from receiving wide international acclaim for the quality of his movies, Afolayan, a New York Film Academy alumnus, has also seen his movies rack up huge numbers in the Nigerian box office with his movies being one of the most demanded Nigerian movies in Nigerian cinemas. 3. Funke Akindele Olufunke Akindele is a seasoned actress whose impact on Nollywood remains unprecedented. Akindele cut her teeth in the industry with the UN-sponsored sitcom; “I Need to Know”, in 1998. After appearing in a couple of English movies, she then ventured into the Yoruba genre of Nollywood, featuring in a host of films. Her breakthrough movie, however, came in 2009 when she acted and produced the movie “Jenifa.” The movie became a huge success, airing strongly across TV in homes and cinemas, both at home and the diaspora. As a result of this outstanding success, Akindele has gone to re-create the movie into a TV series called “Jenifa’s Diary.” Just like the TV series, the series has gone on to become an accepted and well-liked programme. Akindele has acted, produced, and directed over 100 movies, both in the English and Yoruba genre of Nollywood. To her credit, Akindele, who mostly plays a witty character in movies, has amassed several prestigious awards as a result of her craft. 4. Odunade Adekola Another hilarious actor, Odunade Adekola is a thespian who is much sought after by producers and directors in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood. Popularly called “James Bond” because of his dramatic moves in movies, Adekola is a consummate professional whose interpretation of roles keeps his colleagues and the viewing audience spellbound. He began his acting career in 1996 under the tutelage of the late Nollywood actor and producer, Isola Durojaiye, and has acted in several movies in Nollywood, especially the Yoruba genre. Understanding the importance of collaboration and diversification, Adekola is one of the numerous artistes who is working at crossing over from the Yoruba genre to the English genre. He has acted in a number of English movies with substantial success. He has also produced and directed about six movies, some of which are “Farapamo”, “Emi nire kan”, and “Baba Super.” Adekola has been honoured with several awards, recognising him for his dexterity in the make-believe profession. 5. Femi Adebayo A lawyer by training, Femi Adebayo has gone on to embrace acting as a full-time profession, performing creditably well thus far. The son of veteran actor, Adebayo Salami, Femi, just like Kunle Afolayan, has been able to step out of his father’s shadow and carve a niche for himself. A holder of a Master’s degree in Theatre Arts, Adebayo, who began his acting career in 1995, has featured in several movies, most especially in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood. As with modern day theatre practitioners, Adebayo has also learnt the art of production and has produced and directed several movies of his own. He has a long list of movies to his credits which includes the much anticipated Sonto Alapata, Wura Ati Fadaka, Ma Wobadan and Buga, amongst others. He has also racked up several prominent awards for his excellent acting skills. Adebayo is also among the present generation of Yoruba movie actors handling their way into the English genre of Nollywood.
