Femi Adebayo: My father doubles as my boss in the industry | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️

Femi Adebayo is a lawyer, actor, director, producer and filmmaker. A native of Ilorin, Kwara, he grew up in Ebute Metta, Lagos. He attended the University of Ilorin where he obtained a bachelor’s degree, and then proceeded to the University of Ibadan for a Master’s degree in Law. Born into a family of entertainers, he played his first major role in Owo Blow in 1996, a film directed by Tade Ogidan. The movie got him the upcoming actor award and brought him to limelight.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t anticipate this huge success when I conceived the idea. I was just very particular about doing it right. I felt for a very long time, the Yoruba culture is going out of extinction and I want to do a project that will bring it back to life. What I did differently here is having collaboration.

Having achieved that, I looked at the marketing angle to ensure I have wider reach and so, I collaborated with Anthill studios and it gave me this result.I think quite a number of those in the Yoruba movie industry should ensure that our stories should be shot properly and encourage collaboration. We should also believe more in our stories and ourselves; we should also avoid being scared of taking a risk. I took a risk and it came out this way.
