It is not every day actors in the Yoruba sphere of Nollywood get to
feature in English speaking Nollywood movies.
Yoruba leading actor Odunlade Adekola stars in this new movie from Tinsel Star
Funmi Holder titled The Grudge, alongside Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) an
actor of repute.
The Abeokuta born Odunlade Adekola who started acting in 1996 is
unarguably the biggest actor in the Yoruba sphere of Nollywood as he is
the actor with the most appearances in Yoruba movies and has the highest
following across different social media platforms.
His face literary sells movies and he is the darling of several film
marketers in Idumota and Aba in the South-west and South-east regions of
Nigeria respectively. He has won the popular City People Entertainment
Awards Best Actor of the Year four times (2009, 2011, 2014 & 2015). In
April 2014, he won the Africa Movie Academy Award, having emerged as best
actor of the year.
For RMD, he is a man who has gone full circle. The highly reverred actor
commands respect anywhere he goes and is indeed a man of many parts; an
Actor, Lawyer, former Commissioner and above all, a family man and grand father..
RMD started acting in the 80s after leaving the university and acted in
the popular TV series Ripples. He even made more headlines when he starred
in another TV series Checkmate playing the role of Segun Kadiri. He has
gone on to star in more than 47 movies. He also headlines the popular TV
sitcom now showing on cable TV titled Hush.
Many movie fans that read about the movie, The Grudge online are of the opinion Odunlade Adekola should have goose bumps as he acts on the same set with RMD and also considering the fact that this is only the second English movie he would be starring in.
The Grudge tells the story of the lives of two lovelorn spouses from
separate marriages and a lonely widow intersect as they struggle to deal
with a grudge that has festered for so long.
The movie The Grudge which will be in cinemas from October 28 also features another Tinsel Star Iretiola Doyle, Jaiye Kuti, Funmi Holder herself and introducing Ijeoma Aniebo.

Chisos! Like he always say. I want to hear him speak English
ReplyDeleteLol. Exactly my thoughts. That's the only reason i'd wanna see the movie.
DeleteLol
DeleteNa pidgin Odun speak in d movie ooo
And na tout scene dem give na sef
Yes,he should.
DeleteAll dis Yorubawood actors the😴
Lol! Anon 17:03 please easy. Lol
DeleteAnd why do I worry about is his "H" factor?
DeleteAnd why do I worry about his "H" factor?
DeleteThe H factor is his mothers tongue.When a French man speaks French with accents,you all go awwwww,he is cute,but always shame your own because of slave mentality.And no I don't have any H or whatever factor.
DeleteStella you're a big foooooool for this post, you have a major crush on RMD and seriously want to fuck him hence your attention seeking madness, find anoda way to get his attention and leave Odun out of it, no carry the boy shine you horny bitch! I hate you for this, ashewo oshi, your slack pussy is panting for RMD's dick, he won't look your side, he doesn't fuck ugly......don't post if you like, at least you've read it.......bye bitch!
DeleteA fool will always be a fool!
DeleteAnd what is wrong about Yorubahood when ur tribe r not even proud enough to speak ur language outside of ur bedroom
I actually thought the write up was about Odun being compared to RMD, wanted to understand the writers point of view, but alas.
DeleteDude has actually brushed himself up in recent times though. He's a good actor, no doubt. Very captivating. He's always in trouble lol. And I think featuring him in this cross over movie acting will help him further. It's about time they stopped the stereotype in the industry. But I hope he maintains the limelight for a longer time because they usually sink to oblivion after a while when their acting becomes monotonous. RMD should know..
Who would think that we could ever get enough of RMD? but as time goes on, new and better actors emerge to take over the screen from the veterans. So it's a wrap.
OK bye
Am Ibo but I only Watch yoruba movies featuring odunlade Adekola becos he is Good,the guy is great. He may not know English but He sure knows acting. That said !!! This write up wasn't done by Stella ,so pls guys no need for the insults. This is just a lifted article to market the movie...
DeleteI will never watch this movie because of this insensitive headline.
DeleteChisos! Like he always say. I want to hear him speak English
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.. I've heard him drop sentences in English and I'm always like 🙆🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽 I hope he pulls it off and spare us the excessive H factor.. 😊
DeleteSo what do you want to do after hearing dat?...kill yoursef or what...rubbish
DeleteChai odun my guy don suffer for una hand.
DeleteWhich one be privileged, na talk be dat.
ReplyDeleteDs write up will only tarnish d image of ds production cos Yoruba movie lovers/odunlade's fans wld only boycott d whole thn if care isn't taken. Y rubbish a man's reputation just to sell a movie when they re both stars in thr respective fields?
DeleteI think Stella's headline is totally different from the content of this writeup.
DeleteYou just said my mind. Why crap! Mtcheeeeeeeeeeew! Grudge ko googg ni........ stella really you should not have posted this. And even if he can not speak English, na im mother tongue? Who English epp? The guy is making good money and adding value to lives. Someone even said he's a tout in the movie- why is he an actor then? Why do you think they call him the best actor?
DeleteWe call Caucasians racist when we are worse😕
My point exactly
DeleteStella what do you mean, please excuse me.
ReplyDeleteHelp me and ask her. What a heading. He should feel privileged becos of what? Is RMD a god? See u comparing two great Actors and saying one she shud be privileged like he doesn't fit to stand infront of the other. So u shud have said that banky W is privileged to act infront of RMD.
DeleteI must see this movie😘
ReplyDeleteOdunlade my G👊
Linda you are mad. Feel privileged how? Is he not about the biggest Yoruba actor....rephrase your heading o jare.
ReplyDeleteLinda bawo?...

ReplyDeleteIt will be beautiful to watch this
ReplyDeleteTalent and skills open doors. He has succeeded. To all the youths out there, get an actionable skill set and be consistent doing...Exchanging personal skilled services for money!
ReplyDeleteClick name tag
Nice.... Rmd still rocks with age.
ReplyDeleteI don't care whether he interpret his role in English or in Yoruba, all i care about is how he interpret and play his role well.
ReplyDeleteI love Odun omo Adekola so much.
Whoever gave that caption is very stupid.How can u claim someone is good and bring him into such disrepute.
ReplyDeleteStella I love you but don't encourage things like this
Iretiola must lobbied for this role like mad
ReplyDeleteThey are both good but... RMD is Oga boss full stop
ReplyDeleteHe should feel privileged? who ever wrote this is a big idiot. Odunlade is a star!!! a big one. versatile actor. what rubbish? he should feel privileged? god who ever wrote this is a skunk. Because He is Yoruba? i dont understand.
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is better looking,
Odunlade is a better actor
odunlade has featured in More movies
He is younger and most likely richer.
Whoever wrote this is an idiot i repeat.
not hating on RMD but Privileged
idiotic.
I agree with you 17:25. The writer is just not tribalistic but plain stupid.
DeleteVery nonsensic headline!
DeletePrivileged kor, privihand ni....
My odun with his "can't u imagine"
Lol
What's the point of this post? Is it to spite or humble odunlade?
ReplyDeleteWhich yeye priviledged???? Stella sha
ReplyDeleteWho RMD help? Abeggi
I Couldn't agree better
ReplyDeleteI'm Glad he got this opportunity to feature in this movie
This might most possibly be his breakthrough in English speaking movies
I Love him and he has never disappointed so far
Wish him the best
HIs roles interpretation is beyond commendable
Who d fuck is RMD?? No b 1 day him sef start to act! Rubbish
ReplyDeleteLol...they guy is so good abeg.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good actor especially when he's a tout.
I don't get, he should feel privileged how? He's good nao.
ReplyDeleteAbeg Jor,
Well, na them Sabi.
I don't get, he should feel privileged how? He's good nao.
ReplyDeleteAbeg Jor,
Well, na them Sabi.
Lol,feel privileged indeed
ReplyDeleteNa wa o.
ReplyDeleteThe insults being meted out on these Yoruba speaking actors is too much mhen.
Even local beings that grew up in the village will start feeling posh once they enter Lagos.
What's special about RMD? MTCHEWWWW.
E pain am o...
DeleteKwakwakwa.
No vex!!!
That is ehn..
Deleteits not a privilege, they are both actors in their own right, regardless of experience. He is very blessed.
ReplyDeleteRMD should feel priviledge acting with Odunlade..
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is the real mvp of our time.
Lmao
DeleteOdunlade movies only sell across Yorba state E.g ibadan, osun, ogun, ekiti, abekuota, 😂😁 while RMD movies sell nationwide. Every angle of Nigeria. That's 36 states baby. Who knows of Odunlade in the East of North Abeg?
Put respect on RMD names. They are not mate in any way. Thank you
I think everyone here knows him except you fool.
DeleteI am a northerner and I know odunlade. We even prefer to watch Yoruba movies cos they are decent and can be enjoyed by all family members. Unlike the son called nollywood movies that try to out do themselves in sex scenes
DeleteVery stupid. The Yoruba actors are well respected and patronized in their own genre. So is RMD. No basis for comparison o jare. Odunlade is doing very well and Yoruba's buy their films not plaigiarising it everywhere like the English films. Which make the English actors starve and die of hunger. RMD means nothing to the people who watch Oduns movies.
ReplyDeleteStarve and die of hunger? You wish...
DeleteRMD na Brad Pitt ? Abegi make I hear word. Like say na Hollywood star him dey act alongside with. Rubbish talk.
ReplyDeleteLmo
DeleteE Don pain all of una today 😂😂😂😂
Lol 😀 odun bawo ni? Sha don't disgrace us with that your over acting...shi o
ReplyDeleteHehehe. What an insult
ReplyDeleteStill trying to understand this post.. is it to ridicule Odunlade or what? He is still one of my fav actors.
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteI watch Yoruba movies just because of him...dude is tall!
Pls do not disrespect his height!
DeleteNext time say....he is veryyy tall!!!!
😂😂
DeleteLmao
DeletePrivileged keh? From what you wrote he seems like a big actor in his own right. I dont know him but I usually see memes of him all over social media.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind d yeye person with yeye headline
DeleteNigerians can insult thou! Haba! goosebumps loun loun.
ReplyDeleteGoosebumps as Odunlade's "Lord and Saviour" that RMD is nah.........mtchewwwwwwww!!!
DeleteWhoever wrote this trash is an idiot, simple!
SHARONNA
They are both successful actors in their own right..una Don dey find unnecessary trouble now o!
ReplyDeleteHiaaaaa! Both are Stars in their own struggles. RMD holds sway in English movies while 'Lade is a champion in Yorubawood.
ReplyDeleteMtcheeeew. Odulande is a fantastic actor. The two of them are unique in their own way. There is no way you won't laugh when you watch Odulande. He is one of my favorite Nollywood actors.
ReplyDeleteOdunlade cracking me up since 1800 ��������
ReplyDeleteWhat a silly thing to say Stella. They are both opportune to be playing alongside each other
ReplyDeletewhat the FUCK? If Odunlade wants to "honor" RMD, that should be his own perogative! Who died and made anyone king over anyone? Stupid people and their ugly souls who always look for means to inflate their EGO.
ReplyDeleteI heard he can't speak good English and yes he is the best yoruba actor,we need him in asaba movies alongside Kelvin Ikeduba who is making waves in asaba movies too.
ReplyDeletePrivileged? Because one acts in a colonial language... Oh please.
ReplyDeleteBTW, is anybody looking for a bad ass script writer, I am here for you.
He should have goose bump abi na pimples for what? Na RMD carry am come Lagos? Nonsense, walk away. 🚶
ReplyDeleteDis post just annoyed me I swear.
DeleteWhat the heck... Pardon my french.
ReplyDeleteWhich kain yeye goosebumps, odun lade aint no child's play when it comes to movies, he knows his onions. Dude isn't just a popular face in yoruba movies, he's a prolific actor. No kind of movie in nigeria is superior than the other. I'm so pissed, if this is pr for the movie it's a stupid one, again excuse my french. If I see it though it's cos of odunlade.
D reason y I watched dat yeye Taxi driver(oko ashewo) was bcos of Odunlade Nt even Femi or any oda English actor.
DeleteMy person, no b goosebump d person want to o....i think he/she meant to say gooseboil!
DeleteBut he is super talented and can interprete any role given to him.Priviledge? I don't think so,he earn it,he worth it.
ReplyDeleteI'll like 2 hear odunlade speak English... he's my crush anytime anyday.
ReplyDeleteand who is RMD and why would adakola feel lucky, his a legend himself.
ReplyDeleteand who is RMD and why would adakola feel lucky,ade is a legend himself.
ReplyDeleteand who is RMD and why would adakola feel lucky,ade is a legend himself.
ReplyDeleteStella seriously what kind of statement is this? He should feel privileged...why? He is a big star in his own right! No wonder the majority of the bvs here are tribalistic. Anyway who English speaking nollywood movies epp? The majority of them are boring and unnecessarily long at best! Abeg park well jare.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Stella is obviously stupid for posting that trash up there. How many people get time for RMD this days. He's living on past glory while odunlade is happening right now. RMD should be d one feeling lucky cos now lots of people will watch that movie cos of odunlade
DeleteAnon 20:43.it shall be well wit u.
DeleteI want to watch this movie.
ReplyDeleteWhy should Odulade have goose pimples because of Damijo. Damijo was not a lawyer before he started acting. He was just a fine boy who struggled like anyone who is not from a privileged home, dated and married a bigger and older woman, May. He just went to read law recently and was eventually made a commissioner. Abeg, nothing to have goose pimples about. Odulade should also improve himself. Rome was not built in a day!
ReplyDeleteI wonder ooh
DeleteWhy should he? He's a very very good actor and a versatile one at that. People like to make mountains out of molehills. They are both actors and should pool their experiences and individual knowledge of acting to impress viewers. Simple!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for reading my mind and putting it down.
DeleteI love adekola,and I would watch the movie because of him,RMD?i don't love but I don't hate him either.
I love adekola even if he has any H factor,most peeps who aren't privilege still find their way,n I think he has nitch a name for himself.
Wa se ire padi e!
DeleteWe all can't be good in English!...
Moreova, who English epp?
Despite is "can't u imagine English", he's still a glo ambassador!
U wey read Cambridge, what have u achieved that he lacks?
I don't even open any post hyping more not cos I hate him.....yet, his post doesn't freak me either!!!
Odunade is a good actor, he just needs to brush up his english speaking. Why should he have goose bumps? Did RMD have goose bumps when he acted alongside Olu Jacobs for the first time in the 80's?
ReplyDeleteExactly! He should just brush up his spoken English. That's his only flaw as an actor.
DeleteI love dat Yoruba actor die..
ReplyDeleteThey r all good actors hence privellege to work with each other.
ReplyDeleteCrazy guy...love him tho..he is d best Yoruba actor ever!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's nt fluent in English at all...dis might just expose him.....hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteWho English epp?
DeleteNa wah oh, is RMD a god. Abegi make we hear word jare. They are both good.
ReplyDeleteY should he feel priviledged. His RMD paying his bills? That he acts in yoruba movies does not make RMD any better than him. RMD is a star in history own way and Odun is also a star.
ReplyDeletefeel priveleged for What exactly, very insensitive of you to say. did he beg to feature in the movie, they found him to be good hence the reason he's bn featured. what an insult on his person. I hardly comment but found that headline very disturbing.
ReplyDeleteYou de mind Stella.mtchumm
DeleteWhy should he???
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for reading my mind and putting it down.
ReplyDeleteI love adekola,and I would watch the movie because of him,RMD?i don't love but I don't hate him either.
I love adekola even if he has any H factor,most peeps who aren't privilege still find their way,n I think he has nitch a name for himself.
End time gbagaun
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow this is news abi
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is the best actor ever English or not.
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is good in his business.Featuring with RMD is no biggy.
ReplyDeleteStella pls before I talk,did you write this headline or it came with the entire script?
ReplyDeleteI want to believe stella didn't write that piece up there...privilege bawo???
ReplyDeleteIt haff pained them today sha
ReplyDeleteLmao
On a lighter note, this Odunlade is in every yorUba poster I see. One time I was always counting every day when I see a poster to know how many he is in so that means he is a big actor in his yorUba movies. Never watched anyone. I can't even speak it after how many years in Lagos. Didn't bother learning. French, English, Spanish and German is OK for me.
Stella and her ways. You dont have to downgrade odunlade like that. He is a good actor so is RMD. Pls dont bring in HATE here. You are fond of being tribalistic. Mtscheeew
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is my best actor, to me he acts more than all yoruba and English actors, infact all Nigeria male actors. He remains my best, abeg stella ur heading jare! Rmd should be d one having goose pimples acting alongside my main man "Sunday dagboru" also known as "spending manager"
ReplyDeleteStella is actually mad to think Odunlade would feel privileged to act alongside RMD in the same movie.
ReplyDeleteAsk yourself, who will sell ur movie more on current form, Odunlade or RMD? Fool!
Hian! That is a sponsored post oh so which one is Stella is mad and foolish? Attack the writer and leave Stella .
DeleteTomorrow now you will come and start asking for giveaways.
Both paid there dues in movie industry,none is superior to one another save for age difference. the problem killing us in Nigeria is our erroneous belief that English language is superior above our various local languages(colonial mentality syndrome or disorder).
ReplyDeleteOdunlade is highly talented in his field just like RMD. Two of them must be glad of the privilege to work together.As a matter of fact,i believe the producer of the said movie must have lobbied to get Odun Adekola so as to boost their cinema sales.
And he was given a tout role to downgrade him. English movies and their ego. Why is rmd not the tout in the movie
ReplyDeleteStella eyaf suffer today, odunlade eyaff suffer tooo, RMD b smiling somewhere and me just hate tribal sentiments, I jus dnt like tribalism
ReplyDeleteStella that caption is very unfair
ReplyDeleteCommon! Stella I don't wabna believ you made this post.. It's damn annoying. Who is rmd? The guy to me is damn boring. I'd pick odun over him anytime. Odun is a veteran and prolific actor who has been able to hold his own forte spanning two decades and hes still on demand while rmd is living on past glory. Goose bumps for what? Abeg
ReplyDeleteWho wrote this crap? The person is an ass wipe like seriously. Odunlade is a master of his craft take it or leave it. I watch Yoruba movies cos of this man and his superb acting. What 'H' factor? & which one is that he should be having goosebumps cos he's acting alongside RMD? Two seasoned actors doing their thing which one come be this humiliating insulations? I will watch the movie cos of Odunlade and not RMD period! And am sure they included him so as to help sell the movie sef...the guy is pulling serious weight among the masses that will help generate profit for the movie.
ReplyDeleteI am not yoruba but Odun stands out and there is no use comparing him to another as tho GMD was a god. I just started watching Yoruba movies and I love his acting skills and when a man is blessed no one can rub him off his gifts. Though Stella I love you too, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteOunlade is my number one actor. Whatever anybody say is non of my business, Infact i prefer him than RMD.
ReplyDeleteOdun is the best actor on current form. He can stand tall as the best in Africa. He has done well feo himself at this young age. He has no controversy surrounding him and looks finer than RMD. So why the evil headline? The writer and Stella are just pure sadists who coincidentally found themselves on the same mission. Its just like saying messi should feel privileged playing alongside ronaldinho. Now is odunlade's time. RMD should enjoy his retirement
