“I’m not a good producer.” - Veteran Actor Dele Odule on why he's not producing movies



Im not a good producer.  - Actor Dele Odule on why he's not producing movies Veteran Nollywood actor Dele Odule is getting real about his behind-the-scenes struggles in the movie industry and hes not sugarcoating anything. In a recent chat with Oyinmomo, the respected Yoruba actor opened up on why he rarely produces films, despite his decades of experience on screen. His reason? Money wahala. Im not good at producing. Ive never been a good producer. A good producer must know how to manage money, and I dont know how to do that. Odule explained that while acting comes naturally to him, producing is a whole different ballgame one that requires strong financial sense and strategic planning. And hes honest enough to admit thats not his strength.He revealed that he has produced about 10 movies in the past, but he doesnt even know if they made any profit. In fact, hes not even sure where the master copies are. If you ask me about the master copies of those films today, I honestly dont know where they are. Thats another sign that Im not a good producer. Despite this, hes not shutting the door completely. He says hes still open to producing films for Netflix or cinema if the opportunity comes.But the real shocker came when he revealed that he was blacklisted from acting for two whole years and it wasnt because of any scandal. I have been blacklisted from acting for two years. I feel it happened because I was becoming a threat, and they tried to deal with me by blackmailing me. While he didnt name names, Odule hinted that politics within the industry may have played a role. According to him, being vocal and visible may have rubbed some people the wrong way.
