Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo has made his acting debut in a Nollywood comedy
series titled “Dele Issues”. The special episode will be aired
on October 14.
According to Ajibola, the special
episode would mark the high point of the entire web series and would show the
world the never-before-seen side of the former president.
The actor also unveiled the
behind-the-scenes photo of the ex-president rehearsing his lines on the set of
the widely anticipated episode of “Dele Issues”.
He said: “I’ve had this picture
for months, but I’ve been looking at this picture for the past 3 days, knowing
I was going to post it up this morning but not knowing what to write under it
as a caption. Then I woke up this morning and the first song that came to me
was ‘you raised me up so I can stand on mountains, you raised me up to walk on
stormy seas, I am strong when I’m on your shoulders, you raise me up to more
than I can be’.
“And then I got it! This is it!
What I’ve been looking for? My caption would revolve around the Grace of God.
To start with, who am I? That on
my very own first project as a producer (I’m talking about the Dele Issues
nonsense I’ve been disturbing you guys with every time on social media..lol),
that I would have the privilege of having a former president of my country
(Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) feature in my own skit because of an idea I just
conceived in my mind once?
“I meant,
as at the time I thought of this idea I thought I was just being crazy, but
then again I remembered a quote I’ve (sic) seen some time ago that says: ‘Your
dreams are not big if they don’t scare you.’ All I did thereafter was to chase
this dream and I left everything to God’s hands. Now I can confidently say that
on the 14th of October on my YouTube channel (just search ‘Samuel Ajibola TV’
and you will see it) I would be posting the #Deleissues (special edition) skit
by 12 pm.
“If there is any advice I can give
you young guys out there, it is this. Please don’t be ever scared to chase your
dreams that came from any crazy idea you’ve ever thought of in your head. Write
it down and chase that dream with every single thing you’ve got. I mean, you’d
never know…Just like me.”
The web series, Dele Issues (Daily
Issues), revolves around the main character Dele, who always takes on different
roles. The skits are popular for having elements of comedy and satire.
