This is
good news coming from Oga Bello and family. The veteran actor who has 17 of his
children as graduates, added another feather when the 18th child graduated from
the University of Roehampton, London. United Kingdom, today. Here, the proud
brother, Actor Femi Adebayo poses with sister, Tobi. She graduated with a
degree in Drama, Theatre and Performance. The actor who clocked 63 a
few months back declared in an interview, “My mind is at peace. I have trained
my children (I have 17 graduates and two undergraduates). This means that I
have planned for my old age.”
The father of Femi Adebayo, who is also an actor and
was appointed the Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Culture, Oga
Bello has other sons in Nollywood who are either acting or into production. Was
this planned by him?

He replied, “I never called any of them to, neither did
I insist they join the movie industry, or ask them not to. As a responsible
father, all I owe them is good and quality education. They are graduates and I
didn’t force them to do any course. There is Femi, Sodiq, Tope and Rilwan.
Sodiq is a production manager and producer. Tope is a director, producer and
writer. Femi is an actor and a writer, Rilwan is a production editor. When
Femi, who is a lawyer, decided to act, I gave him my blessings. Sodiq is a
geologist; Tope and Rilwan computer scientists. In fact, when they joined the
industry, I was relieved because I won’t have to start looking for white collar
jobs for them after graduation.”
Congrats!
