Emmanuel Adedolamu Awolowo is an upcoming actor in the Nigerian Movie industry. He has done a couple of works in the acting scene and has worked with a lot of people. He was under late Yomi Ogunmola during his life time.

In an interview with SAHARAWEEKLY, he revealed to us how the going has been.

Excerpts Below:

 

Q- My name is Osho Oluwatosin. A reporter at sahara weekly magazine. Can we meet you sir?

R- My name is Emmanuel Adedolamu Awolowo, I’m an actor & the last born of the family of 5.

Q- What are you working on presently sir?

R- I’m working on a lot of things. Number 1, I’m working on my upcoming movie. A multi-million naira movie. I’m working on a T.V series & also my Acting academy that will be very very soon.

Q- Can you tell us more about your new movie?

R- Its titled ’igun merin’(4 cardinal point).its not a regular story line. It’s a mixture of Yoruba and English to the glory of God, God has given me two awards even without producing it.

Q- What inspired the movie?

R- Wao! God inspired the movie. Its God, not me cos I don’t get my story line from thinking. I get it from inspiration from God. God has been the major inspiration that has been inspiring me.

Q- In that movie, who are those you worked with?

R- I’m gonna work with muyiwa ademola (authentic), funsho adeolu, Joseph Benjamin, Ramsey Noah & some other people in the Yoruba & English sector.

Q- You mentioned something the other time, you said it’s a multi-million naira movie, who are those financing your project?

R- Well, I’m not the one and I don’t have any sponsor expect God. God is my major sponsor & he has been financing it and he will do better.

Q- How has the journey been so far in the movie world?

R- Haa……… the journey hasn’t been easy but I found it easy through God. I started at the early stage of my life. Kudos to yomi ogunmola. So many that I started from him but I’m making it known that I started with yomi ogunmola back then in the early 90s but glory be to God today that he has gone to rest yet I’m still proceeding so glory be to God.

Q- What have been your major challenges so far?

R- My major challenges, number 1 is there is no sponsor & people don’t want to buy into their own idea. Even those we look up to in the industry don’t want the younger ones to go & even in the industry today, they do everything with greed. No one wants to go for another which is the main fact of life but no one up there wants to pull another up expect God pulls you up & that’s why I’ve been looking up to God as the major step of life because I know the sky is the limit but a starting point for everyone that trusts in God.

Q- Can you tell us about your family?

R- My father & mother are from Remo and the only question people will love to ask me which I’ll not like to throw more light to now is about Awolowo but I’ll put that wrap. It’s a story for another time, not for today. it’s a long one & I’m also writing a movie on that titled ‘O.J.A’ which I’ll not tell the full meaning now & that will make us know the original story of some will known people they we never knew & it will throw more light on my background. I’m from Awolowo family & I’m also the last born of my family who is also an actor.

Q- In the movie world, most of the actors & actresses complain of piracy. As an actor, how do you intend to battle that?

R- Ah! Wao! That is another problem we’ve been battling with in the industry. I believe one thing about piracy is that if we can start, God will start with us but I believe there are people behind it. Even the so called marketers, actor who owns a multi-million naira movie see his or her movie being pirated, after challenging them, they will have to build the actor up on his or her challenges, on the money he or she spent. If they don’t have a strong backbone, they wouldn’t be doing that & that is killing our market sector. How will we produce a multi-million naira movie & we see pirates all over the streets. We wouldn’t have made half of our major cost yet we would have seen pirates all over the place. We pray God helps us & help the government ‘cos we are crying out loud to our government. They need to step into the matter ‘cos govt need to work on it.

Q- Another challenge in the movie industry is that most people say they have problem with the marketers & promoters. Do you have such problem too?

R- Well, I don’t have such problem ‘cos I’ve not produced any movie yet. Most of my movies are still coming soon expect those I featured in.

Q- ‘cos of the challenges in the movie in the movie industry, most actors & actresses have one into other businesses though they are still acting. Do you intend going into other business or you have one already?

R- Sure. Apart from acting, I’ve my other business which I’ll not love to talk about for now. God has been helping me. No man would survive without working & without having another business. Any man that has just a business is going No-where.

Q- You are handsome & cute. Can you tell us how you have been able to handle your female fans?

R- Well, I’ve a lot of them & God has been helping me. Everything is about dignity. Protect your dignity. Those who you cannot marry don’t date them. Don’t promise anybody relationship when you cannot marry them. I’ve my dignity to protect, my name; Awolowo to protect. I’ll not put a stain ‘cos of 5 minutes enjoyment, I’ll never. I’ve been able to manage my female fans with God’s wisdom.

Q- I noticed you see Awolowo as a father or a mentor. Before he died, did you at any point of time have a personal relationship with him?

R- Well, I’ll love to put that under wrap for now. I don’t want to show who my true Identity is for now so I’ll put it under wrap for now so later on, we can talk about that.

Q- Can you tell us about your relationship status?

R- Well, I’m still single but getting married very very soon.

Q- What’s your philosophy about life?

R- Life is easy, if you take it easy. Take challenges easy, draw your challenges easy. Take your challenges sweet. You will enjoy every challenge you take sweet. Experience is not what you pass through, its lesson you learnt from what you passed through. Everything about life is ease & take God first. When you take God first, life will be a better place to live. The way you want others to do to you, do it to yourself first.

Q- Can you tell us about the movies you featured in?

R- I’ve featured in so many movies. Let me mention few, I’ve featured in Owo Okuta by muyiwa ademola, Ori, Gospel of Judas, God behind bars e.t.c

Q- Your first movie will be a Yoruba movie. Are you going to be doing Yoruba movies or both Yoruba and English?

R- My taste is high ’cos I’ve a loud vision. A man who has a single vision cannot do far in life. If you are sitting on a single vision, you can’t go far in life, not even for once. The films I’ve featured in are Yoruba & English, so I’ll do both.

Q- Who would you consider as your role model in the industry?

R- My first role model is God ‘cos I’m a Christian & if I’ll take another person as my role model, I’ll take Taiwo Hassan (ogogo). When I watch him in films, he inspires me. He interprets his script very well & he fears God.

Q- What is your advice for upcoming actors?

R- My advice for them is that they should be focused. They shouldn’t be enticed by the things of the world. They shouldn’t be enticed by fame, money, connections. When they are enticed by these, they will never get their bearing in life but if they put God first & they are focused, they will get there

Q- It was great having this interview with you

R- Thanks.

The Ogun State Government has announced plans to deliver a 900-capacity, Artificial Intelligence-enabled digital learning complex at Remo Secondary School, Sagamu, in a move aimed at strengthening technology-based education across the state.

Governor Dapo Abiodun disclosed activities marking the institution’s 80th anniversary, noting that the proposed facility represents a deliberate investment in modern learning infrastructure designed to prepare students for a rapidly evolving, knowledge-driven global economy.

He explained that the digital classroom project complements ongoing smart-education initiatives within the school, which already features a functional resource centre and a state-of-the-art robotics laboratory established to nurture innovation, problem-solving skills, and digital competence among learners.

Reaffirming his commitment to the school’s growth, the governor announced a financial pledge of ₦100m, stating that ₦50m representing half of the amount would be released immediately to kick-start development efforts. He also assured stakeholders that at least one of the outlined projects would be fully executed before the end of his administration.

Abiodun further disclosed that the state government had upgraded the school’s science laboratories, equipping them with modern facilities and teaching tools to ensure safer and more effective practical learning experiences for students.

He added that renovation works had also been completed on both the male and female hostels to improve accommodation standards, enhance security, and promote the overall well-being of boarding students.

Describing Remo Secondary School as a symbol of enduring heritage, the governor said the anniversary celebration went beyond mere commemoration of years of existence, emphasising the institution’s long-standing role in shaping generations of leaders and professionals.

He praised members of the old students’ association for their unwavering support and contributions to the school’s development, stressing that their collective efforts demonstrate a shared commitment to sustaining its legacy of excellence.

According to him, the projects and improvements carried out at the school reflect a strong belief in education as a foundation for future growth, as well as the power of collaboration between government, alumni, and the wider community.
