“My father was jailed when I was one years old, my mother died in an accident on her way to visit him in prison when I was 4”
I spoke with one of Nigeria’s finest actors, and he shared stories from his life that have deeply shaped him—how he loves, how he shows up for the people he cares about, and what motivates him to work.
This episode peels off layers beyond the fine actor who is loved in all his films. He shares stories of hurt and injustice his family has faced and why he is very inspired to fight injustice and tell stories. He tells me the reason he married his wife, and why he would advice everyone to marry.
He tells me about that time he was falsely accused of being a cult member in university and that event that made him depressed after he was expelled helped him find acting and he’s grateful for that.
