In an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Nollywood actor and film producer, Bolanle Ninalowo, revealed how he overcame early career setbacks to achieve resounding success in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
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.
Reflecting on his Nollywood journey, Ninalowo credited his initial failures for his eventual success.
When asked about his motivation to persevere in an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, the 44-year-old emphasised that being down can present unexpected opportunities for self-discovery.
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.
Ninalowo’s resilience and determination have made him a household name in Nollywood.
