However, what many don’t know is the fact that Femi and Odunlade have a lot of things in common which are unknown to many of their fans. Femi owns a theatre school, J-15Media Network, Odunlade owns Odunlade Adekola Productions in Abeokuta, Aside this, Odunlade and Femi, in real life, or when they are not on set, are very playful and funny. This is aside the fact that they both are great role interpreters,especially in the comedy, which is now the soul of the Yoruba movie sector.
Femi and Odunlade are leading actors whose faces fans love to see in films. They are very talented and exceptionally creative. Above all, they were born on the same day, December 31st.
The interesting thing is that since 2009, there has been a supremacy battle between
Femi and Odunlade. This occurs when the committee of the annual City People Entertainment Awards announces its plans to reward the best in the industry. They have both been nominated for the same categories yearly which includes Best YorubaActor of the year, Best Yoruba Movie Producer of the year and the Best YorubaMovie of the year.
Going by history of the awards, Adekola has won the best Yoruba Actor of the year from City People 3 times. He bagged it in 2009, 2010 and 2014. As for Femi Adebayo, he emerged Best Actor in 2011 and 2013. He has in 2 places floored Odunlade when they were both nominated for the best movie producer and the best movie in 2013.
Femi won the Best
Yoruba actor and best Yoruba movie (Sonto Alapata) in 2013. He also bagged Best Yoruba movie producer in 2014. Nevertheless, the actors resumed their battle for the best in 2015 as City People Entertainment nominated them as the Best Actor, Best Producer and their films also got nominated. Meanwhile, another top actor in the industry, Muyiwa Ademola, has joined the battle as he upped his game and he has also been nominated for the award.
Close to 2 decades, Muyiwa Ademola has been in frontline in the industry when he launched himself to the top with the yesteryears movies like Ori, Ile,Alapadupe, Ogo Irawo, Mawe Oku and others. At some point, Muyiwa was dishing out his stuff quietly until 2014/2015 when he featured in virtually all the movies produced in the industry especially from Ibadan.
Other great actors in the Best Actor category 2015 City People Entertainment Awards as Odunlade and Femi Adebayo are Ibrahim Chatta and Murphy Afolabi. These actors are very brilliant when it comes to role interpretation. They worked extraordinarily to take over the industry in the last 1 year.
