Nigerian actor Femi Adebayo has jokingly called out fans for not giving him enough credit for his role in the new Netflix movie “Jagun Jagun.”
In the movie, Adebayo plays Ogundiji, a powerful warrior who is tasked with protecting the kingdom from evil forces. Despite being the lead actor and producer of the film, Adebayo feels that his performance has been overlooked, with fans instead focusing on the roles of his co-stars, Lateef Adedimeji and Ibrahim Yekini.

In a social media post, Adebayo wrote, “Saving kings and men isn’t an easy job – if a Man does well, we should reward him o. I personally think the way you people don’t rate Ogundiji calls for alarm! Ogundiji himself! The only man that can eat 9 snails at once! Ehn, if e easy – you sef do am.”
He continued, “Everytime, Gbotija! Gbogunmi! Do you think becoming a mighty warrior of might and caliber doesn’t come with sacrifices? Ogundiji too is someone’s father o! He deserves justice for the bad names you people are calling him! Besides, If you were Ogundiji – will you not have done the same things he did?”
Adebayo’s post has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Some have agreed with him that he is being underrated, while others have pointed out that his co-stars have also given great performances.
Regardless of the reaction, Adebayo’s post has definitely gotten people talking about his role in “Jagun Jagun.” And who knows, maybe it will even lead to more people giving him the credit he deserves.

Femi Adebayo Sold His Properties to Fund “Jagun Jagun” Movie
Nigerian actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo has revealed that he sold some of his properties to finance the production of his latest movie, “Jagun Jagun.”
In a recent interview, Adebayo said that he wanted to avoid seeking funding from financial institutions or individuals, so he used the earnings from his previous movie, “Agbeshinkole,” to fund “Jagun Jagun.”
“Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and I can’t say the exact amount I spent on it,” Adebayo said. “But I can tell you that I faced financial challenges at some point. However, I believed in the project’s potential and ended up selling some of my properties to make it happen.”
Adebayo also spoke about the challenges he faced while building the warrior school that was featured in the movie.
“We started the warrior school from the ground up,” he said. “The land posed a challenge as we initially intended to buy it. We reached an agreement and made the payment, but the landowner’s children later changed their minds. By the time we had constructed half of the school, the owner’s children, who had come from Lagos, insisted we halt construction. They were prepared to dismantle our progress, causing a delay of almost a week. We had to involve the police and local leaders, appealing to them. Eventually, we were advised to only film on the property rather than purchasing it.”
Despite the challenges, Adebayo said that he is proud of what he was able to accomplish with “Jagun Jagun.” He said that he hopes the movie will inspire other filmmakers to pursue their dreams, even if it means making sacrifices.
