Dele Odule, the Nigerian actor famous in the Yoruba film industry, has opened up about the most heart-wrenching moment of his life.
In an interview with another actor Kunle Afod, Odule shared
that the saddest day of his life was when he lost his first child.
The 63-year-old actor described the moment he received the
news as “very hard” on him, particularly due to the circumstances surrounding
the child’s birth.
Although Odule did not disclose the details, he said he
accepts it as the will of God and prays never to face such a tragedy again.
“The saddest moment in my life was when I was told my first
child died. It was very hard on me,” he said.
“It was hard because of the situation surrounding the
child’s birth. It was very hard on me but no one can question the authority of
God. It was so bad and I do not pray for such anymore.”
Odule also spoke about his family and career. He revealed
that his children have a natural talent for the arts, with one showing
potential in acting and another having a talent for singing.
He, however, emphasized the importance of education, stating
that he would not allow his children to pursue acting until they have completed
their studies and become independent.
“My children are naturally artistic. One of them has a
talent for singing, while another shows potential in acting. However, I’ve made
my passion for education clear to them, so they are currently more focused on
their studies,” he said.
“I’m not sure if they may want to pursue acting in the
future, but for now, I would not allow it. If any of them decides to act, it
will have to wait until they have completed their education and become
independent.”
Odule’s career in the entertainment industry spans over
three decades. He began acting in a drama group called Oloko Theatre Group
under the mentorship of Mukaila Adebisi.
His debut appearance in the industry was in 1986, and he
rose to fame after starring in the movie ‘Ti Oluwa Ni Ile’. Since then, he has
featured in over 200 movies.
