Veteran Nollywood star Dele Odule is not holding back when it comes to the hidden challenges of the Nigerian movie industry. In a raw and honest conversation with Oyinmomo, the respected Yoruba actor pulled back the curtain on his personal struggles — from money missteps to being secretly blacklisted.
Despite over three decades of acting excellence, Odule confessed that he’s never quite nailed the producer role. Why? “I don’t know how to manage money,” he said bluntly. “I’ve produced about 10 films, but I can’t even say if they made profits. I don’t even know where the master copies are.”
His revelation has sparked conversation, with many praising his humility and self-awareness. While he admits producing isn’t his forte, he’s open to future opportunities — especially for Netflix or cinema-worthy projects.
But the biggest shocker? Odule disclosed he was blacklisted for two years, not because of any scandal, but allegedly because he was seen as a “threat.” Without naming names, he hinted at industry politics and blackmail attempts aimed at silencing him.
Now, fans are applauding his resilience, reminding us that behind the fame lies a man who has weathered storms and still stands strong.
