My dad, Oga Bello, threatened to disown me – Femi Adebayo opens up

Beloved Nigerian actor and filmmaker, Femi Adebayo, has revealed how his father and senior colleague, the iconic Adebayo Salami, aka Oga Bello, threatened to disown him.

In a recent heart-to-heart with Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka on his talk show, “Gisting With The GCON,” Femi Adebayo opened up with a nostalgic look back at his childhood dreams of becoming a lawyer, a vision he said was wholeheartedly supported by his father.

He reminisced about how his initial foray into acting was merely a hobby, something to dabble in for fun, until the siren call of Nollywood became irresistible, pulling him into the limelight he once only flirted with.

 

Femi Adebayo stated tha his deep dive into the entertainment world was spurred by the dazzling fame and adoration he and his father, Oga Bello, were showered with.

The Jagun Jagun filmmaker couldn’t help but wax lyrical about his father, describing him as an extraordinary figure whose virtues are so remarkable that he wishes to be his son through a thousand reincarnations.

Femi’s admiration for his father extends beyond the professional realm, delved into his personal life, where he praised Oga Bello for managing a peaceful polygamous household, a rarity in such family setups.

However, Femi didn’t shy away from revealing the stern side of his father. He recounted a dramatic moment when Oga Bello issued an unequivocal ultimatum: any son of his who dared to marry more than one wife would face immediate disownment.
