Oga Bello Reveals Why He Won’t Leave Properties For His Children

Adebayo Salami, well known as Oga Bello, is a veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker who has explained why he will not leave his children homes or estates. He said this in a recent Nigerian Tribune interview.

Bello claims that he has already left his children with the most priceless legacy—education.

The actor, who has two wives and is a proud father of eighteen children, claimed that he decided early in life to allocate his resources to providing his kids with a good education rather than amassing wealth for them.

According to him, “I don’t want to leave any properties for my children. I just need two houses, one in Lagos and one in my hometown. If you meet any money in my account, share it. I’m passionate about education.”

“Even if it’s just a first degree, I wanted all my children to be educated,” he added.

“I didn’t bring or force them to the industry. Whenever I was going for rehearsals and they wanted to follow, I would say no, except they had good results in school. That made them work hard,” he explained.

On the issue of ageing and retirement, Oga Bello also shared deep reflections about life as an elderly actor and the cultural lack of preparation for old age.

“Old age comes with challenges. Preparing for old age is personal. Here in Nigeria, we don’t take it seriously across professions. I invested in my children. In old age, they will take care of me,” he said.

You have done well sir. The best thing you can give to your children is Education and you have done justice to it.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
