Veteran Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo Salami joyfully celebrated his senior colleague, Rasak Olayiwola, popularly known as Ojopagogo, on his birthday today. Taking to Instagram, Adebayo marked Ojopagogo’s 21st birthday with a heartfelt tribute, sharing a charming photo of the actor.
In his message, Adebayo expressed deep gratitude for Ojopagogo’s unwavering support and contributions to the film industry and those around him. He praised Ojopagogo's inspiring selflessness, writing, “Happy Birthday and many happy returns, Sir @ojopagogotv. Your constant support and contributions to myself and everyone around you are truly inspiring. Congratulations as you celebrate your birthday, wishing you more success in good health and prosperity.”
However, the celebration comes in the wake of a controversy from the previous year. Gossipinfo reported that Ojopagogo faced criticism from producer Seyi Bonomo after he allegedly refused to refund money for a non-show. In an online video, Bonomo claimed they had an agreement to shoot a movie together but had postponed the date. He also stated that he had sent an additional thirty thousand naira to Ojopagogo for transportation after the actor complained about rising fuel prices. Despite Bonomo's attempts to resolve the issue with industry authorities, he claimed they could not compel Ojopagogo to refund the money.
In light of these events, several Nollywood actors supported Bonomo in the comment section, expressing concern over similar issues affecting the film industry and the lack of individuals willing to advocate for the truth.
