That
Odunlade Adekola, the winner of the Yoruba Movie Academy Awards, has a
fair diction of English language should not be a yardstick to measure
his talent or performance in the industry.
The handsome dude who has stated making money in Nollywood with
series of endorsement has come out to tell his critics that he is not
eager to accept a role in any Nollywood movie shot in English.
“Contrary to what you think, I have appeared in two English language
movies that have not been released. Soon, I will proceed on a location
for yet another English language film.
That I don’t act frequently in English film shouldn’t be an issue at
all. Do the Amita Bachans and the Kapoors of India and the Yang Yin or
Chang Chong from China try too hard to speak English? Why should my own
case or those of us proudly projecting our indigenous language be
different?
Those popular soap operas that our ladies nowadays love to watch so
much on TV that are from South America were not originally voiced in
English language but Spanish”
