Popular Nigerian actor Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed how he overcame early professional failures to succeed in Nollywood.
In an unreleased episode of the ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Ninalowo stated that his earlier failures eventually led to his success in the entertainment world.
When asked about his inspiration for perseverance in an unreleased edition of the ‘Off The Top’ podcast, the 44-year-old emphasized that being down may provide unexpected possibilities for self-discovery.
“When you fall flat on your face and you are backed against the wall, that is when you get the biggest opportunities to discover yourself. I tell people that when I came to Nollywood, the secrets of my success are buried in my failures,” he said.
In reflecting on his Nollywood career, Ninalowo attributed his early failures to his ultimate success. Ninalowo’s entry into Nollywood was far from smooth. He began as a producer but faced failure.
He then ventured into music, only to find it wasn’t his calling. Undeterred, he returned to acting in the mid-2000s.
