In an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Bolanle Ninalowo said his initial failures ultimately led to his triumph in the entertainment industry.
When asked about his motivation to persevere, the 44-year-old emphasised that being down can present unexpected opportunities for self-discovery.
Reflecting on his Nollywood journey, Bolanle Ninalowo credited his initial failures for his eventual success. In his words:
Ninalowo’s entry into Nollywood was far from smooth. He began as a producer but faced failure. He then ventured into music, only to find it wasn’t his calling. Undeterred, he returned to acting in the mid-2000s.
His breakthrough came with the 2015 movie ‘Desperate Baby Mamas,’ which propelled him to fame. Since then, the Ikorodu-born actor has appeared in numerous hit films, showcasing his versatility in both Yoruba and English movies.
Some of his notable roles include performances in ‘Fate of Alakada,’ ‘Coming From Insanity,’ ‘Breaded Life,’ ‘Lakatabu,’ and ‘Alter Date.’
