Popular Nollywood actor, Afeez Abiodun popularly known as Afeez Owo has revealed that he financed his education from Primary five till he got to Form five.
The actor made the revelation in a chat with Saturday Beats at the weekend.
The thespian, who went down memory lane said he had to sponsor himself because his parents did not support his career.
Afeez Owo said,
“When I started my acting career, it was rough and tough. The first challenge I faced was from my parents who felt I did not know what I was doing with my life.
“I lived with them in Oyo State and they felt that I ought to go to school to study. They weren’t pleased with me, so they backed off and I had to finance my education from Primary 5 till I got to Form 5.
“When I got to Lagos, I had to fend for myself as well. I got a little place on Randle Avenue, Surulere and whenever I was going for rehearsals, I trekked from my house in Surulere to Saka Tinubu, Victoria Island.
“I never knew that I would become someone in life. I just went with hope and I had it in mind that if I passed out while trekking either to the venue or back home, then so be it.
I got a breakthrough in 1998 and two years later, I produced my first movie.”
