Veteran Nollywood actor Dele Odule has opened up about why he doesn’t consider himself a good producer.
Known primarily for his work in the Yoruba film industry, he revealed that he prefers acting in other people’s productions rather than producing his own movies due to the challenges he faces with production.
Odule shared this insight during an interview with Oyinmomo, highlighting that his difficulties with money management are a major reason he doesn’t enjoy producing films.
He explained that movie production is a commercial endeavor that demands a strong grasp of finances to remain profitable—something he admits is not his strong suit.
On a different note, while the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max offer the same performance levels and promise six to eight years of updates, there are additional features that distinguish the two models.
Odule said that although he has produced about 10 films, he cannot confirm whether or not they were profitable and is not particularly sure where the master copies are.
Despite admitting his shortcomings with movie production, Odule declared his readiness to produce for the cinema or streaming platforms if presented with the opportunity.
He said, “I’m not good at producing. I’ve never been a good producer. A good producer must know how to manage money, and I don’t know how to do that.”
“To be a good producer, you need to understand money management because production is a commercial venture. You need to be able to make a profit from the investment, but I’m not good at that. That’s why I prefer acting because it’s where I excel.
“That said, I’ve produced about 10 movies, but I can’t say whether I made a profit.
“If you ask me about the master copies of those films today, I honestly don’t know where they are. That’s another sign that I’m not a good producer.
“Even though I’m not great at producing, if I get the opportunity, I’d love to produce a film for Netflix or the cinema. I wouldn’t do anything less than that.”
Speaking further, Odule also opened up about being “blacklisted” from acting for two years. He argued that he was perceived as “a threat” in the industry.
