On the 27th of January, a trailer for a Nollywood movie 'Daudu' was released online and it attracted a lot of interest. Why? Because of the role played by popular versatile actor, Odunlade Adekola. In the clip, he's seen playing the role of a young, unmarried gay man whose parents are not in any way pleased with his sexuality.


Now, while some Nigerians laughed at the role, a few others criticized the supposed promotion of homosexuality.

LIB reached out to the actor for better clarification and he made it clear that the movie was just a make believe, with a certain message to be passed.

Asked how he felt playing the role of a feminine gay man, Odunlade said:

"I am not the one that produced the movie but it was directed by me. As a matter of fact, I played the lead role.. As a director, If you get any script, you just have to study/digest the script, understand what the demands are and know where to contribute. That is what I did."

Asked about his response to those criticizing his role after watching just the trailer, Odunlade said:

"I haven't really seen the criticisms from people and you know a movie is make believe. It is also done to correct a lot of impressions and make people understand more about certain topics. I haven't seen anyone criticize me or any of my jobs (roles). Critics should take time to watch the movie, study it very well and understand what we are trying to say in the movie. We are preaching that what happened in the movie that made the lead actor (Odunlade Adekola) to be a gay man is not good. That's the real message."

"I love Nigerians and all who have supported the industry. I am not against anybody or trying to tackle or fight anyone," Odunlade said.

Now is d movie for or against homosexuality

His brain is actually paining him.

Rubbish. All these movies just in a way promote gay

the guy above me is right. since being gay and engaging in same sex is a crime in this country, NBC shouldn't approve nollywood movies that promote it. Don't even tell me they are trying to pass a message.

Actually one of my friends usually says that he doesn't mind having anal sex with the opposite sex (he will be the one penetrating of course). In his words
"The fact that I can kiss a girl on the mouth doesn't mean I can do same for a fellow guy"

Lol

Yoo

Hmmm

is the title of the movie bobrisky

Okay

Alryt

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. If the likes of denrele and bobrisky exist then it's the job of an actor to interpret it, no matter how shameful it looks

Thats it. Thats the way they start little by little to promote this horrible western culture.
Why play it?
To pass which message? ...... maybe teach that gayism is cool or ?
Small small it will start creeping into our society. Africa and their inability to question and observe things before embracing it eh!
