Kunle Afod, a seasoned actor and director with nearly four decades of experience in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, has revealed an essential life lesson learned during his career.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, he declared, “There is no friend or foe anywhere.”
Afod recommended against labelling people as lifelong friends or adversaries, stating that relationships and situations might change abruptly.
He said: “Someone believed as a friend can turn to be a traitor, and another fellow perceived as an enemy may become instrumental to one’s success.”
Kunle Afod reflected on his career, which began in 1986, and gave insights into human nature and relationships.
“I have learned there are no friends or foes anywhere. I think it is better for people to be liberal. The person you see as your friend might come to stab you, and that fellow you see as your enemy might be the person that will help you,” he added.
In addition to these lessons, Afod announced plans to work on a significant cinematic project in 2025. He also revealed new episodes of his ‘Proverbs Challenge’, a series that reflects his love for generating entertaining and competitive material.
“This year, I am looking toward the big screen. I will also be coming up with new series of the Proverbs Challenge this year. I like creating content that is competitive,” he said.
Kunle Afod advised budding actors and filmmakers on self-improvement. He urged them to continuously improve their skills and expertise.
“Directors should also be willing to carry out lots of research to improve on their work, upgrading their knowledge from time to time,” he concluded.
