WAITING ON GOD TO REMARRY....... ELESHO (Nollywood Artist)

Elesho

Anyone who has a one-on-one encounter with Yoruba actor Adewale Adeoye, popularly known as Elesho, will undoubtedly leave with their ribs aching from laughter. The CEO (Marital Solution & World Research group on facebook) discovered on Saturday that the popular actor is so talented than even over the phone, he can make the caller laugh heartily.

            For instance, while recalling when he started acting, Elesho says it was so long ago that he cannot exactly remember the year or date. He states, “The time I started acting is getting old by the day. But asking me to remember the exact year is like asking me to recall the person I sat with in primary school. Is it the leg, face or head that I will remember with so many people in my class back then?

            He discloses that he actually learned acting from a man named Femi Olukoga, otherwise called Baba Kudi, way back in Ilorin, Kwara State. Elesho explains that he will not deny the fact that it was from this man he learned the acting tricks which he fine-tuned to extend the frontiers of his trade. I commenced acting when celluloid was the in-thing, with films such as Taxi Driver by Ade Love, Omo Orukan by Adebayo Salami and Ayanmo and Jaiyesinmi, produced by Herbert Ogunde among many others. When home video came, I adjusted to its demands and here we are today by God’s grace, “he says.

            According to the actor, he has three women who mean so much to him. They are his three 'mothers': his biological mother, his late wife, and his children. He adds that he has children, both male and femaole, who make him proud. Elesho's wife passed away some years ago, and he is not in a hurry to remarry. When asked if he is under pressure from women considering his fame as an established actor, he noted that there is no such pressure, he is simply taking his time.

            He adds, “Any man who says women are disturbing him is not being sincere with himself. The opposite sex will be on their own, it is we the men who will go out to disturb them. I am considering remarrying and waiting on God for direction.” He also says he has never stopped acting comedy, which is his favourite. Recently , he starred in movies such as Abule Meco, Kofo Tinubu and  Gboju Nbe which is in two parts. Elesho further states that he is currently release a new film, Ale Mi oni Buru, which is rushing in the market for sales. On piracy and some other problems confronting the industry, the dramatist says even though stakeholders always work on how to tackle piracy; it is only God that can help them because the issue is complicated.

            He states, “We wish something like a thunderstorm will just occur and strike those profit from our intellectual property. We work very hard and they want to reap where they do not sown. We try to cope with the various problems we face as movie makers and actors.

            But whenever you call his mobile number and hear the music of Prince Adekunle about having three friends, with one asking him to sleep on the mat, another on the floor and the last one on his chest, do not think Elesho is using the ringtone to talk about any friend in particular.

            I am not harboring any bitterness towards any friend or indicating anything. It just so happens that I like Prince Adekunle’s music so much. So, using that particular song as a ringtone is a way of thrilling myself and my callers as a loyal fan of the great singer.”
