Veteran Nollywood actress Mujidat Adeyemi, also known as Olori Adeola, has revealed the religion they practice in her family, while also stating why her parents did not approve of her marriage to her Christian husband.

According to the video that was posted on the official YouTube channel of Agbaletu TV during an interview, she made it known that she came from a Muslim family but that she got married to a Christian, saying that her parents did not support the marriage because they did not want her to marry a Christian.

According to Mujidat Adeyemi, she said, “Whenever I went to a movie set, some people usually informed my husband, and he warned me not to join film making. I received a revelation from several clerics that I must leave my husband’s house in order to have a long life and peace of mind. At first, I didn’t believe what the clerics told me until I was told that I may die. I was practicing the Christian religion because my husband was a Christian, and my guardian was also a Christian, but my parents are Muslims. The day I decided to do what the clerics told me, I started crying because my parents were not happy with my decision to marry a Christian. I came from a Muslim family, I married a Christian, but my parents didn’t support my marriage. I moved out of my husband’s house without informing him, but I couldn’t go back to my parents’ house….See More

Ugezu has addressed public assumptions about his financial status, clarifying that he has never portrayed himself as a wealthy individual or someone who lives an extravagant lifestyle. The filmmaker made this known in a statement shared via his Instagram page, @ugezujugezu, where he stated that he has never told anyone that he is a “moneybag” or someone who makes excessive wealth. He stressed that he has never bragged about money at any point in his life and has not engaged in any venture that mysteriously funnels large sums into his account. Ugezu explained that he lives a life of modest income while carrying heavy responsibilities. According to him, beyond his immediate family, he also supports an extended family, friends, and relatives who depend on him in different ways, describing these obligations as real, constant, and demanding. He further addressed the issue of financial demands, noting that some individuals resort to insults or name-calling when their requests cannot be met. Using a metaphor, he stated that “the head is not always as big as the load it carries,” emphasising that many personal burdens are not visible to the public. The veteran filmmaker added that when he does not respond to a request, it should be understood as an indication that he is overwhelmed by personal responsibilities, expenses, and challenges, rather than an act of disregard. He condemned the use of abusive or negative language, especially in private or hidden spaces. Ugezu maintained that those who truly know him understand that he does not hesitate to help when he genuinely has the means to do so, adding that he has never turned away from responsibility out of pride or wickedness. He concluded his message with a call for empathy and fairness, urging people to be guided, humane, and just in their dealings with others.
