“Yesterday, I and my team visited Oru Ijebu to inspect some of the costumes to be used for Esugbayi Eleko – The Movie! Dele Odule, who is the owner of the costumes, took me around his Ile Asa complex, a beautiful and proudly African culture complex that is set to redefine the arts and culture sub-sector.
His experience and training as an artist also came in handy, as he designed the complex himself and the art materials, as shown in this video.
@deleodule I am proud of you and can’t wait to see that complex completed and in full operation”.
Similarly, Femi Adebayo had expressed pride in his colleague and movie producer, Kunle Afolayan, after he visited his film village. Kunle had shared photos from Femi’s visit and had appreciated him for stopping by and he replied, urging him to keep making Nigerians proud.
Ibrahim Chatta was humbled after the Oyo State National Police Force (NPF) visited his Film village last year. He uploaded a video of their visit while expressing his humility at being welcomed.
He disclosed that they easily talked about confidential movie props, community security, and stopping piracy in Oyo State. His film colony was visited by more than just the police. When Toyin Abraham came to visit his movie village, Chatta made fun of her weight and stomach. He made fun of the actress for having a stomach, and Toyin defended her by pointing out that she had lost weight and that she only eats chew gum
