Today
is the 50th birthday of top actor, Alesh Onilegbale and obviously he is in a
happy mood right now. He recently told Citypeople Online how he feels at 50. Below
are excerpts of his interview.
How do you plan to celebrate your 50th
birthday?
I
will definitely mark it. I can't celebrate it big because of COVID-19 pandemic.
Thursday is my 50th birthday which we planned to celebrate so big but the state
of the world couldn’t make it happen but yet I should still observe my golden
age without party. At least celebrate it meaningful without the party as corona
is still ruling
Tell me
about your birthday. How do you plan to celebrate it?
Well
as it’s globally an Identified fact Covid-19 actually taken over the entire
world that no one can plan or have a social event that would allow more than 20
people so with that I can’t really celebrate my golden jubilee as I desired because
initially plan was having K1 on the band stand nd celebrate with high and
mighty of the state
Tell me
about your career. You have been acting for how long? How many movies? How did
you join the caucus?
Well
to God be the glory my career has been a successful one that I can’t say but
appreciate God almighty for all He has done for me. I had my challenges but
with the grace of God I saw I conquered and it’s all a sweet story today
I
have been in the industry for 3 decades under the dynamic Odunfa caucus led by
Alh Yinka Quadri, Alh Taiwo Al-Hassan Babatunde, Alh Tajudeen Abbey Lanre,
Chief Abiodun Jamiu Kakawa.
I
have produced lots of movies if am not mistaken over a dozen movies amongst
which are: BLLB. (Bose Lo Lose Bo), Omo kan, Ire nwa mi ni temi. The only epic
Oba Adegboro, Eleregbe, Ko si asiri; to mention but few and I’ve featured in so
many movies by various colleagues.
I
joined Odunfa caucus from inception despite I had the grace of being a brother
in the hood to Ogogo and Abbey Lanre as we all lived in Ebute Metta, so when
Odunfa caucus was formed I wasn’t wanting and to the grace of almighty Allah I
was accommodated by all the above mentioned Ogas. So being a member of the
caucus actually placed me on a much advantaged situation which helped me a lot.
I
Alesh Rilwan Onilegbale, from the royal lineage of original Lagos. I hail from
Isale Eko. A descendant of Ado Shokun Royal Family, that’s the first monarch
family of Lagos Island Isale Eko, my own branch is Ogboni Iduntafa also known As
ONILEGBALE of Lagos. So I am crowned prince of Lagos. I
was born at Lagos Mainland, Ebute Metta precisely.
I
grew up in the same Ebute Metta and lived greater part of my life in the area.
I grew, schooled the elementary stage at Ebute Metta, married in Ebute Metta,
started my career and succeeded at it in the same area.
