Oga Bello's doubt pushed son Sodiq into film production

A single offhand comment from Oga Bello basically lit a fire under Sodiq Adebayo and pushed him straight into production management just to prove a point.

Father’s challenge sparks career shift

• Sodiq Adebayo said the moment happened on a trip to Ilorin.
• Adebayo Salami, known as Oga Bello, mentioned production management as tough.
• Oga Bello assumed his son could not handle that role.
• That doubt stuck in Sodiq’s head and fueled his drive.

Learning the ropes behind the scenes

• Sodiq sought guidance from Lasun Ray Eyiwunmi.
• He also questioned his brother Femi for clarity.
• Alhaji Rasheed encouraged him during that car conversation.
• Passion, not cash, was the initial motivation.

Choosing backstage over the spotlight

• Sodiq once experimented with acting.
• Being naturally shy made front-facing roles uncomfortable.
• He preferred staying behind the camera instead.
• Despite his famous father, he carved a different lane.
