Femi Adebayo steps in to defend Odunlade Adekola’s new movie

Odunlade Adekola

Nollywood star Femi Adebayo has set the record straight to defend fellow actor Odunlade Adekola after a social media user mocked the filmmaker’s newly released movie Warlord (Olori Ogun).

Adekola had shared the official trailer of the movie on his X page on Monday, announcing that the blockbuster was now showing in cinemas nationwide. But shortly after the post, a user responded with a harsh critique, writing:

“Na you go be producer, main character, singer, director. Na why your movies no dey make sense. Do better.”

The comment quickly gained attention, prompting Femi Adebayo to respond directly. In a firm but respectful message, he cautioned the critic against dismissive commentary and defended Adekola’s work.

He wrote:

I’ve noticed one or two tweets from this account about my brother’s movie. Understandably, you’re entitled to your opinion, but posting comments from behind a keyboard doesn’t automatically make those opinions accurate.

Let’s keep it RESPECTFUL, that is someone’s craft.

Filmmaking is teamwork, with directors, writers, crew, and actors all putting in their best.

This Project is my brother’s. Watch it at a cinema near you… and judge it with open eyes, not quick fingers.

That’s the fair way!”
