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.

Let my man shine

An actor is under no superior obligation to advertise or promote your movie in which he has acted and been paid off. This writing is rubbish.

Who is doing who?

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

Leave dem,let dem start jumpin into conclusion d way olympic swimmers dive into d pool

why not verify a news before spreading, its a pity

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

Odunlade is that you? From their English we shall know them...ewedu republicans

I like to hear from the accused before judging. Things may really not be as the OP has said

Yes u a very very correct

Whether his grammar is poor or not, that is of no import. We still love him dearly and he is a great thespian.

Even your expression here has few grammatical errors.

All these is happening and no credible daily newspaper or magazine has written about it, but you an unknown common blogger? Ok we don hear you.

Only say there are too many jobless judgemental dolts out there waiting to maim this guy's name

The snake that wanted to bit him at the peak of his grace started climbing with him from the grass but he failed to notice it...

guy u gat real grammar construction issues. u need a serious, upright, very good and talented lesson teacher for real man

Rubbish write up. Everybody knows Odun is not who you have described.

How can you put him on the set of your film and then say anybody could have acted it better? What does that say of you?

You wanted his face in your movie and you got it. Talk to him if you think he hasn't promoted your work enough and stop ranting on social media like a puppy.

He is a good Yoruba actor but for English movies, he's just trying to learn how to speak good English.

UNMITIGATED TRASH!

Do you think his village people are sleeping? They finally agree to pick his call naw. Na small small

Some things are inconsistent here.. U say he failed to show up on set, and also failed to show up at the premiere of the same movie...so how did they shoot his part? And if they went ahead with the production without him then he is under no obligation to promote said movie.
You have also failed to establish if proper contractual terms were stated and signed and was it stated explicitly that he must promote the movie on or offline. If it wasn't, then he is at liberty to promote or do otherwise.
For the mnet job, do u have the contract details? Do you know if Mnet breached their part of the deal?
What is your source? How credible is it? If you are writing from first hand experience then how do we verify your identity? How do we know you are not just someone with itchy fingers looking for a story to tell or someone who's been paid to go on a smear campaign of the actor.

Until these are satisfied... Don't judge.

Before you post anything confirm it first and stop writing what is not true. Check his Instagram page and confirm what I just posted

NIGERIAN MEDIA with their lies.
If he failed to show up at the location for Funmi Holder's movie, how come he eventually was part of the movie.
A fantastic movie which I watched a couple of weeks ago in a cinema with Odunlade Adekola playing his role perfectly well as he has always done.
I believe this headline is the work of some of those haters paid to tarnish his image.
The more you try to bring his image down, the more the young actor will keep attaining greater heights.
and to those of you that doesn't even know Jack about this guy and you just keep running your mouth anyhow on sighting this headline, continue. Shiiooor.

it's not easy to be a star.

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

When the gods has decided to make you poor in life,you start refusing anything that comes your way positively until you go mad in impoverishment.
