Popular Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninolowo, has declared that he is more than just a familiar face on screen but a carefully built brand and a business-minded entertainer who understands the power of positioning.

In a chat with The Nation, the actor, fondly called Makanaki by fans, emphasized that his success didn’t come by accident but through grace, intentionality, and strategic branding.

“Yes, first is grace, and then two is positioning,” said Ninolowo

“My brand is very important to me. I’m not just an actor, I’m a business actor.”

Ninolowo, who has enjoyed a remarkable run in Nollywood over the past decade, noted that beyond acting talent, what truly separates him from others is how he has built an identity that transcends the screen.

“Maybe you can tell me how many actors in the last decade the industry has been able to brand in a way that people call them by a name outside of their acting name,” he said. “So, when you say Maka, see how everybody reacts? That is the brand. For me, brand is key, not just jumping from set to set.”

How Tinubu, wife saved my life after accident – Saidi Balogun

Published

on

Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun has narrated how President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi facilitated plans for him to receive medical treatment abroad following a serious accident several years ago.

Balogun made the disclosure during an interview on OYINMOMO TV, stating that the couple’s swift intervention and concern for his health left a lasting impression.

He said the accident left him in a critical condition, prompting the President and his wife to insist that he be flown overseas for specialised care.

Although he later received quality treatment within Nigeria, Balogun noted that their readiness to act decisively on his behalf deeply moved him.

Recalling a conversation with the First Lady, the actor said he asked why she had gone to such lengths to support him. She responded, “You are a star of God, and they must not let your light dim.”

Balogun said the remark reshaped his outlook on life and reinforced the importance of compassion. He added that he has since embraced the belief that caring for others attracts divine protection for one’s own family, a principle he intends to uphold.

Balogun said, “When I had an accident. President Tinubu and his wife stepped in and asked that I be taken abroad for treatment. I was well treated in Nigeria. I asked aunty why she did it.

“She said, ‘You are a star of God, and they must not let your light dim.’ It was from her I learnt that if you take care of someone else’s child, God will take care of yours.”

Comedian KlintonCod has said having eight Ferraris in one’s driveway is a mental health issue.

He, however, made it clear that his opinion could change if he becomes rich.

He said on X, “Maybe its because i am still broke but having 8 Ferrari’s in your driveway if you dont sell cars is a mental health issue, atleast to me.”

His words sparked a debate, with many pointing out that having such possession could be a war of fulfilling one’s dreams.

@MySpenda said, “No it’s not… Having those cars is a dream come through for him and again it’s a good way of saving your money and a good investment too.”

@naijacivic said, “it’s inferiority complex! And before the mob will say am jealous, I have 4 vehicles in a western working society, one of which is an official vehicle. The cost of one Ferrari alone can be put into stocks or real estate. Anyway to each their own!”

@TEE9ine2 said, “Not at least to you sir…
Even if you are a car thief, you can’t behave like that.
Isn’t it wise to sell some Ferrari and acquire the new models (even of it’s the 3 latest models in your collection)
It’s so unwise but some people will call it poverty mentality.”
