Nigerian actor Olatayo Amokade, better known as Ijebu says he once worked as a generator repaired.
Ijebu stated this in a chat with Punch.
According to him, he faced a lot of rejections before he became famous as an actor.
He said, “I actually started my career as a generator repairer. I faced a lot of rejections but they only made me stronger and led me to where I am today.
“Before joining Nollywood, I was a very determined person. I always made good use of all the opportunities that came my way.”
The actor further stated that he tries as much as possible to avoid controversy especially in the entertainment industry.
He added “The question is, can one really avoid controversy? Even if one tries hard to stay away, it would somehow navigate to one. That is one big disadvantage of social media. I just always try my best to distance myself from any drama.”
Ijebu continued “If one loves what one does and it’s one’s passion, one would not have a problem with that. There are good days and bad days, it is the passion one has that would keep one going. It happens in all sectors, not just Nollywood, and some are even worse.”
