Veteran Yoruba film actor Olalekan Adebayo has shared how a conversation with a herbalist in a remote village influenced his career path. He also credited his work as a filmmaker with helping him secure his future.
In an interview featured in a video uploaded to the official Kunleafod TV channel on YouTube, Adebayo recounted his encounter with the herbalist. The herbalist advised him that to achieve success in life, he should also consider becoming a herbalist.
“I came from a poor family, but I discovered myself with the talent that God gave me,” he added in his statement. “I took responsibility for my own life.” Another herbalist advised me that if I want to be successful in life, I should pursue a career in herbal medicine. I was selected from the film business to be one of the individuals who would go to a village in order to put an end to those who were selling our films in an unlawful manner. It was during this trip that I had the opportunity to meet the herbalist, and he provided me with the rules that will help me achieve success in my career as a herbalist.
