I’m creating job opportunities for graduates of English language — Odunlade Adekola

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”
