Odunlade Adekola Biography
Odunlade Adekola Date Of Birth: He was born on
December 31st, 1977 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.
He attended the Saint John RCM primary school, and
later Saint Peter’s college, both in Abeokuta. After being
into acting for some years, Odunlade Adekola is
currently running an undergraduate in one of the
universities in Nigeria. He has not disclosed which
university this is due what he called “personal reasons”.
Odunlade Adekola started acting at a very early age.
According to him, whenever any anniversary was to hold
in his church (the Christ Apostolic Church, Lafenwa,
Abeokuta), he and a friend, whose name he gave as
“Tunde”, would request to play jesters, and this request
was always granted. He would then write a “script” for a
comedy play involving just two characters (him and his
friend). That was how it all started for this professional
actor, director and producer.
After being motivated by the likes of Taiwo Hassan,
Adebayo Salami, Lere Paimo, and other genius Yoruba
actors in Nollywood, he entered the professional scene
around 2005. However, he never started becoming
increasing popular until 2007. He received training and
additional motivation from Isola Durojaye (Alasari), now
late, who believed in his potential and assisted him in
bringing out the best in him.
