Odunlade Reacts To Claims He Uses Juju For Popularity

Popular Nollywood star, Odunlade Adekola has reacted to claims that he is using voodoo and also patronizing witch doctors to rise to fame.

The father of four, however maintained that, the only secrete of his thriving career is dedication and divine favour.

Speaking with Punch, the talented artiste even went as far as curing himself if he ever tried the alleged claims of people and what his critics are accusing him of.

His words: “Some people say that I used voodoo or metaphysical powers to be successful. I hear when they say such but I tell everyone that I can never do such. During the graduation of my students last year, I addressed this issue because it was during that time people were peddling rumours of my demise.

“When the rumour of my death hit town, some people said that I did ‘jazz’ to be successful. That was why during the graduation of my students last year, I said it in public that if I had ever thought of doing ‘jazz’ to succeed God should make me lose everything I had ever worked for.

“I never knew I would be successful as an actor; my belief has always been that God should elevate me in my endeavors. I always prayed that God should make me a successful person.

“I hear these comments but they do not move me at all. I am a writer, director, producer and an actor. It is normal for people to talk but it has never upset me.”
