‘I grew up in the slums of Ibadan and had my university education 13 years after leaving secondary school’ – Muyiwa Ademola reflects on life at 47

Nollywood actor, Muyiwa Ademola celebrates his 47th birthday today
and he’s taken time out to reflect on his life and small beginnings.

According to the award winning actor and movie producer, ‘a superlative
birthday shout out to me. I’m a definition of grace. I was born into a
very humble family. My father never owned a motorcycle let alone car. My
father never bought a TV not until after my secondary school. I grew up
in one of the “slumest” slums in Ibadan. No electricity for several
years,I had to make use of “kuufin” (local lamp) while reading for my
SSCE (We had only one lantern which no one dare touch). I had my
university education 13 years after my secondary school, yet I’m being
celebrated in this manner. What else can I say than to keep appreciating
my CREATOR? THANK YOU FATHER FOR ALLOWING ME WITNESS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL
YEAR’.
