Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninalowo, has revealed the reason he is not constantly seen in movies in recent times.
According to him, he has been involved in a Hollywood project which took him out of Nigeria.
Besides, he says, he has had to create time to be with his children for closer guide.
In an interview in ‘The Nation’, Ninalowo states: “I’m doing some things in Hollywood as well. Now, you know, creating my mark over there, my presence there as well. I just finished the movie with Vivica Fox and Black Chyna. And I have some roles lined up as well. So I’m taking advantage while I’m dedicated to being there for my kids, as you know, I’m separated, you know, being there for my kids, well, it makes it harder, because you need that presence more, do you get? So while I’m there for them, I take that opportunity to say, Okay, let me extend my tentacles and see the things that I can do in America as well. Also, producing as well.
“There’s a major, major series that I have coming out soon, it’s called ‘Maka ti Japa.’ So that’s going to be one that I feel like the fans are going to love as well. Oh, well, my kids are going to college now, my daughter is 19, my son is 17, and I feel like that’s the most important age that I need to be present, and showing them more about life and being there for them, and making life-long decisions into the next chapter of their life. So I had to make a big sacrifice of saying, look, what’s more important now to me, thank God I made hay while the sun shone.
“Like you rightfully said, there was a time I was in almost all movies, you know, at that time, that was what was important to me. My kids were much younger then. Now they’re much grown. And you know, they need my attention a lot more. My legacy is my children, not the films that I make.”
