“I Finished With A 3rd Class Certificate But A 1st Class Mind” Deyemi Okanlawon Speaks On His Journey Into Acting

Actor Deyemi Okanlawon bares it all in this inspirational and thought-provoking seesion on the ‘Real Deal with ONOS’ Ariyo on Instagram Live.

The multi-talented actor spoke on how he went from a Math guru with the ambition of following in his dad’s footsteps and becoming an Engineer to how he got carried away with ‘life’ and flunked his grades while studying at the University of Lagos.

From Engineering he pivoted into Sales and Marketing and then found himself in Nollywood as an actor, writer, producer and director while he also currently heads distribution for Nollywood and Independent movies at Silverbird Distribution.

During the discussion he laid out the principles he followed along his path, and still follow, that led to his growth and success within each field of endeavour and those that helped him pivot successfully from one field to another.
