To many lovers of Yoruba movie industry, the name Odunlade Adekola is like what Omotola Jalade Ekeinde or Genevieve Nnaji mean to Nollywood. No wonder he is one of the highest paid actors in that sector of the Nigerian film industry. Apart from being an actor, Odun, as he is well known by fans, is also a Glo ambassador.
