Nigerian veteran actor, Wale Akorede, popularly known as Okunnu, has called out Nigerian film production and marketing company, Olasco Films, over an unpaid job.
While speaking in an interview with Olugbenga Oropo Valentine on SAWORO program, Okunnu expressed his displeasure in the marketing company’s refusal to pay for a movie he produced years back.
He narrated the incident, explaining that that although he directed and played the lead role in the movie, he did not get a dime from the movie.
“I once did a movie for Olasco and he didn’t give me anything. Not even N5 for pure water till this moment. I don’t know if I will later be paid on judgement day. I haven’t forgiven Olasco. Mr. Akeem Balogun Olasco, I don’t know about tomorrow, but as at the moment, I haven’t forgiven Olasco. I wrote a movie ‘Aare’. I directed it and played the lead role. Both part 1 and part 2 of the movie were released at the same time. I didn’t see a dime from it. I will be lying if I say Olasco gave me anything from the money made from my sweat”, he said.
