Odunlade Adekola
That Odunlade Adekola, the winner of the Yoruba Movie Academy Awards, has a fair diction of English language should not be a yardstick to measure his talent or performance in the industry. The handsome dude who has stated making money in Nollywood with series of endorsement has come out to tell his critics that he is not eager to accept a role in any Nollywood movie shot in English. “Contrary to what you think, I have appeared in two English language movies that have not been released. Soon, I will proceed on a location for yet another English language film. That I don’t act frequently in English film shouldn’t be an issue at all. Do the Amita Bachans and the Kapoors of India and the Yang Yin or Chang Chong from China try too hard to speak English? Why should my own case or those of us proudly projecting our indigenous language be different? Those popular soap operas that our ladies nowadays love to watch so much on TV that are from South America were not originally voiced in English language but Spanish” The actor is not obliged to apologise to anyone for his preference for Yoruba films. “It’s a life long dream of mine to become a world-class actor with bias for expressing myself in my mother tongue, which is Yoruba. I really don’t see how that has negatively affected some people. Really, I’m not crazy about the English roles because I don’t believe in trying too hard to speak the language that cannot bring out the best in me as a core and proud Yoruba man. They are complaining that I love to act in Yoruba films a lot, but what the complainants don’t realise is, I’m creating job opportunities for graduates of English language to subtitle my films in English,” he says.

Adekola, trust MEE a great deal, your speech is just an escuse for your inhability, and the disability in you to speak and probably write simple and common English Language, period. trust MEE, this is nothing but " a mere consolatory talk", as well as filmsy escuses to defend your inhability to speak simple good English Language fluently.

Why you pple are talking like this, this call English is our borrowred language.For the fact that, one is not an English Actor does not means he /she is local or does not know how to speak English language fluently.Put an end to this..... and find something reasonable to do
Biola | 7/10/2012 7:47:54 AMTo remain relevant in the industry and be internationally recognised you have to be versatile in the universal language called English or you are going to limit yourself to the yoruba speaking genre alone. So please dear i do love you and it's not too late to learn English. There is no doubt about the fact that you are a natural actor and the best one in the yoruba industry for that matter. Please go see the new Amitabh Bachan's movie shot in Hollywood with the likes of Leonardo Dicaprio. He Could have never dreamt of such role if he was not fluent in the English language. Please dear don't limit your talent 'cause the sky is the limit for you. Love you. Smootches..... Reply this thread
WHY | 7/10/2012 7:54:50 PM |
I kind of disagree with you on the basis that vasatility is based on English language.Guess what . . . .VERY WRONG..Bollywood guys ply their trade in whatever their language is called...as long as they are good,they are well known all over the world.Odunlade can speak english, only his diction or accent is heaavy and i prefer him to retain his accent because people like him are more respected in the western world.Nigerians especially the once that speak good english can not flunt anything in front of the westerners because,u can never speak like them,and dont be suprised when people like Odunlade are being given roles in Hollywood.What we see as inability is what they are looking for,if they needed a fluent americanised or british ascent,they will not think of Africans.When you watch hollywood roles that has a role of African ascent they dont look for grammaic white man ascent actors.More so, if there is a good director,there is no reason for Odunlade not to act english roles,the director will showcase him well and you will not even believe it was Odunlade when he starts delivering his speech.In short,Nigerians are shalow minded short sighted,when indians speak english or filipinos threy tell you they prefer to keep their ascent because that is what make you what u arew but 9ja has low self esteem and lack confidence in what they are(not hausas.they keep their culture, ascent,and everything)and Igbos are trying too but i think Yorubas are the only ones that has these problem the most.When i come home to 9ja all children are speaking english,they see Yoruba language as local but if you have ears please listen to me.You can never speak english like the owners.They envy you because you have another language.Please visit Canada and appreciate the beauty of your language or ascent.Thank you Odunlade people like you are preserving our Yoruba language Nneoma | 7/11/2012 2:21:43 AM |
I strongly agree with u, Nigerians have one problem wich is inferiority complex, this is why they can never be real in anything they do. If only we can appreciate who we are & tank God 4 our natural heritage. No matter how hard we try, we can never be oyibo! MEE | 7/11/2012 11:47:05 AM |
In as much as MEE agrees with all your points, and as relevant as they are, the fact still remains that you need to learn, know and understand a language first before your ascent, diction, pronounciation, grammer, dialet and what have you could be considered. MEE thinks what Biola was advising Odunlade in her peice is the need for him to go and learn, know and understand all the nooks and cons of English Language, and how to write it, so as to boost his career to the highest level. And this is a bittered truth that cannot be ignored. Biola calls the English Language a "universal Language" and this is true. Anywhere you visit in the world today, the common language for any transation is English, trust MEE. So Odun and the rest like him needs to learn, know and understand English Language in other for him to excel in his career, irrespective of his ascent or pronounciation or dialet towards the Language. Everybody needs it, trust MEE. WHY | 7/11/2012 12:21:01 PM |
It is so good we are on the same page and we both agree on common grounds.If you watch Oduns Movies and some of his interviews very well,it sis not that he can not speak english,his major challenge is ascent, pronounciation and and lack of fluency,which to me is OK.I once watch one of his movies when he was trying to say Season but pronounced it as sisin.Those are basically his flaws not that he cannot speak english at all. MADAM | 7/12/2012 12:20:19 AM |
It is only Nigerians that would want to cut their tongue or twist it all around in a bid to have another man's accent. Even all of us grammarians here i can still pick one or two errors from our write-ups including mine, so what are we saying here ? Please tell the Indian, Chinese or the Carribean man to have the perfect English man's accent, dictions etc. To hell and to blazes with this english thing and who told you guys that english is the official language of the world ? What about French ? Most countries of the world are multilingual and who told you guys Odunlade needs an interpreter to find his way around town and must he do movie in english before he can be tagged a success ? Amitabh of the popular Bollywood indusrty how many english movie did he do before he became known world wide ? I leave these questions for my opponents to answer and thank you panel of judges. Lalaland | 7/12/2012 1:47:34 AM |
I get your point, but english is essential whether we like it or not.... MADAM | 7/12/2012 5:04:55 AM |
I know, but one should not be given the capital punishment for not knowing how to speak or even understand english. My Carribean friends are dying to learn my pidgin english you hear them speak their Patwa everytime, yet they are closer to the English people than us Nigerian. English no be money, if i no hear english or even fit speak english i go use "SIGN LANGUAGE COMMUNICATE" WHY | 7/13/2012 12:17:11 PM |
English is essential....YES...and Odunlade has the essential part ...COMMUNICATION.It might not be to your expectation but i can tell you that whereever he goes all over the world that they speak english, he will surely communicate.It is called USE OF ENGLISH.This guy is just being himself because if he is forcing himself to speak, (trying to satisfy you) you will also be the first to conderm him.So please let him be WHY | 7/13/2012 12:17:21 PM |

You talk lie this time! Everybody in this world should know how to speak simple engerlish! Not everybody sabi Yoruba. Engerlish is an ESSENTIAL language round the world! WHY | 7/11/2012 2:31:20 PM |
Nope not all the part of the world,there are some countries that if you speak English to them you are on your own,Even all official documents are all in their local Languages and of course if you are out of this area(country) to move to another country where English is the language they speak then try to communicate in their language and this time it is all about use of english,being able to pass message across. Canada has 2 official languages French and English you must be fluent in minimum of one or at least speak the two(biolinguist).If you go to areas in Quebec you had better forget English and hold on firmly to your French in order to survive and be reckon with. Lalaland | 7/12/2012 1:45:25 AM |

Good we understand each other but Odunlade can speak the required use of English,only that it is not to the general expectation of people,which does not count.As long as he can communicate,answer questions and can respond to issues...i am cool with it and i think that is what matters. Jane | 9/2/2012 3:40:14 PM |
@True talk. Shame on you! Just look at the very bad grammar you have written here! you have written "those that does not know,," "Those" ( plural) and "does" ( singular) can never be used together! Even a child in primary 3 should know this! Did you even finish primary school? If yes why disgracing yourself by writing very bad English like this? I am sure when you speak English people run for cover from your heavy mortar shelling of r*****h English! Your are one of those people who CANNOT speak and write even simple English and you deceive yourself by hiding behind the cliche of " English is not our language!" Shame on you!

Nigeria is blessed with millions of very educated citizens who went to very good schools and they are from educated families where they have been encouraged to speak and write English , properly. It is a big disgrace to speak English like, "we have hentered awa ouse ! " ( we have entered our house!) ! ! LMAO ! r*****h! Yes , we should be proud of our native tongue, but we should also be able to speak and write simile English correctly because English is Nigeria's official language and it is the world's lingua franca. If you borrowed something and keep using it for over 50 years and the owner never asked you to return it , then that thing is no longer borrowed. English is no longer a borrowed language in Nigeria. It is now a Nigerian language. Reply this thread
