Ninalowo: How my failures inspired me to succeed
Nollywood actor and film producer, Bolanle Ninalowo has shared how the failures he faced early in his career inspired him to succeed.
Speaking on how his early career setbacks pushed him to success in the industry, the 44-year-old superstar said, “When you fall flat on your face and you are backed against the wall, that is when you get the biggest opportunities to discover yourself. I tell people that when I came to Nollywood, the secrets of my success are buried in my failures”.
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.
