Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by timidapsin(op): 7:06am On Mar 22

He revealed that despite years of fame, he does not own a house or a car, which shocked many Nigerians.

He also stated that at the peak of his career, he earned two thousand five hundred naira per episode, and currently earns about forty-five thousand naira per episode. However, filming is not consistent. Sometimes it happens once a year, and in some cases, there are gaps of up to two years, making the income unreliable.

He also explained that the “Papa Ajasco” name and character are owned by Wale Adenuga Productions, meaning he cannot use the identity for personal deals or endorsements.

After the interview went viral, his account details circulated online and donations started coming in. King Mitchy also visited him and supported him financially.

Days later, Wale Adenuga Productions responded, describing his claims as false and misleading. According to them, he is not in distress, has benefited from the company, used good vehicles, and was provided with a house.

They also stated that actors are paid according to industry standards and typically film for about six weeks each year, leaving room for other income sources. They further pointed out that he is a retired civil servant and questioned his retirement benefits.

Pa James also spoke in a separate interview, stating that he has a good relationship with Wale Adenuga and has never been owed by the company.

In a recent development, [b]Abiodun Ayoyinka has now rebranded himself as “Bondu Alaska,” [/b]likely to move past the trademark restrictions.

Baba just need to diversify...build a character for himself apart from Papa ajasco

For instance

Pa james - Ajirebi
Late mana ajasco - Aworuru
Miss pepeye (Ybo)- Now a movie producer

I see some lies , but without evidence both are liars.

Please leave us alone with all these tales.
Na dem dem Sabi.

When things were rosy, no one cared about anybody.

Sometimes I wonder how some of these celebrities reason. When they are in their peak, you can't go close to them as a common person, but when they fall, they expect us to start contributing for them. I don't get it.
As if they weren't paid their salaries and wages

Papa Ajasco na pencil in the hand of the creator

What if “ papa ajasco was a reckless spender”
What if “wale Adenuga wasn’t compensating them enough”
What if all this was a marketing gimmick for a rebranding purpose.

Did Wale Adenuga says Baba Ajasco should not do any other jobs, after some men have use beer and women to ruin their lives they look for who to blame
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by ambimo(m): 8:25am On Mar 22
Baba Ajasco is just like El’rufai- both have entitlement mindsets. They believe they must be stakeholders in success even after they were paid for their services. Why the entitlement mentality? Was it only Baba Ajasco that was starred in the movie? Was he not paid? Why does he think he deserves more?

This is family matter.
They should sort it out Amicably,it necessarily does not involve the other tribes of Nigeria

Hmmmm. Okay. Thanks for the clarification
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by 2fine2fast(m): 8:33am On Mar 22
Did anybody even stop to ask how much Wale Adenuga made from the production at that time?
When you make money you manage your funds, diversify and plan ahead for the future.
Papa Ajasco is only playing on people's emotions.

Used good vehicles. Was provided with a house.

WAP hasn't really said anything. They didn't contradict a single thing he said.

Reckless spender of what? N2,000 six times a year? N45,000 per episode?

Look, I'm not making excusing for Mr Ayoyinka - it was up to him to find other sources of income. But his claims seem correct, as they have not been contradicted by WAP in their robust response.

He had a choice to seek for new contract if he wasn't earning enough. It's a fundamental rights, WAP couldn't have denied him that rights if he did want. So everything is Papa Ajasco's faults and his cross to carry.

Papa Ajasco is a talented actor but a bad money manager.
WAP paid him well, during PMB regime he got lots of gig and to cap it all, he worked for 30 years with the Lagos State government.. So what have happened to his finances.
The average Nigerian never get such opportunities and still excel.
If he's broke due to his financial recklesness, he should come out plain instead of trying to blackmail WAP.
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by joshkke(m): 9:07am On Mar 22
45k per episode is not industry standard at all in 2026 for a show of that magnitude.
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by joseph1832(m): 9:11am On Mar 22
I'm curious to know if he signed a contract. I honestly don't get this lamentation about him not owning a house or a car, when he knows his is no different from an employee.

That would even be more restrictive if you ask me. If should just open himself to another role and the industry more than tying himself to a particular character

So, could it be that Papa Ajasco was lying when he said he doesn't own a car or house?
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by Btruth: 9:27am On Mar 22
The thing is, was he paid what he was supposed to be paid? 🤷. Sentiments apart, some people are still living far below what he was earning. He ought to have planned on his budget then.

Our people need to start seeking expert advice. Your native wisdom isn't enough. He should have found a manager or talked to an entertainment lawyer. I hope he still makes something of remaining life.

That said, 45k per episode is very poor of WAP. Yeah, industry standard. Such poor industry standards.
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by cr7lomo: 9:48am On Mar 22
E be like say this man dey very manipulative...cos dem no allow u use papa Ajasco.... he's definitely lazy mentally... even super man and batman characters act other movies ...they didn't forever depend solely on their superhero character... thats why u are an actor... papa ajasco gave him the platform and fame to be able to pursue other roles in movies .... but he just stuck with papa ajaco... now he says its Alaska .... smh...look at pa James, acting other movies and appearing in musical videos
Re: Papa Ajasco Vs Wale Adenuga: What Really Happened? The Full Story Explained by osuofia2(m): 9:49am On Mar 22
Wale Adenuga did what every reasonable business man will do, no sentiment attached.
I have seen Papa Ajasco couples of time welcoming Tinubu at the airport, which Tinubu personally called him for handshake, I no such meeting always go with something heavy. He worked for the state govt for 3 decades and should have made a fortune, The past Lagos State governors have closely worked with him, how many Nigerians have such opportunities.
Careless lives shouldn't be blamed on others.
