Dr. Olayiwola Olasunkanmi Razaq, (a.k.a. OJOPAGOGO), is a Nigerian actor, filmmaker, dancer, and drummer. Born in Iseyin, Oyo State, he started acting at a young age. His closeness to his rich cultural background while growing up exposed him to values that shaped his vision, personal, and professional life. A talented man with multiple skills, he enjoys making people happy with his different roles on stage and in Nollywood films. Mostly known for playing the role of the wise old man in Yoruba films, his performances in various films show him to be a versatile actor who is comfortable playing comic and serious roles. His more recent roles in Anikulapo, a feature film, and Anikulapo series show the incredible skills of this supremely humble man of arts and culture. But beyond his skills and talents, another unique quality of this cultured man worth acknowledging is his kindness and consideration. He displayed this when he drove for more than one hour to meet with Kolawole Olaiya of Nollywood in Review at the Cultural Center, Ibadan, to have this conversation on Nollywood films. Here is the conversation:
