He continues to invite me to be part of his projects, like Anikulapo, a Yoruba-language film, even though I don’t speak the language. Sometimes, the police are simply helpless, not because they don’t want to act, but because powerful people have taken control of the situation. As an actor, it’s important to understand how to engage with producers, directors, and even the audience who look up to you.

From them, I’ve learned the importance of consistent practice and staying true to your craft. I lived there, picked up bits of the culture, joined in local festivals, and blended in. I believe in putting my unique signature on every project I’m part of.

You’ve been notably involved in Kannywood, the Hausa-language film industry.

How would you compare it to the Yoruba film industry, considering their respective developments?

Well, when you look at the development of the film industry in Nigeria, Yoruba cinema has had a strong head start. The album did well when it first came out. How did these different places shape who you are?

I was born in Auchi, Edo State, started primary school in Agbor, Delta State, and finished it in Umuahia, Abia State.

While that’s ongoing, I plan to produce one or two smaller films. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s a daring film that touches on crime, insurgency, and deep-rooted conspiracy. Many times, avoiding excessive theatricality, Funky Mallam performs with restraint, giving his characters a lived-in authenticity. Fortunately, I met Mr.

Femi, the producer of Sango, one of the biggest blockbusters at the time. That pushed me to be industrious. I went from one production company to another with my script, only to discover later that someone had used my story for a movie. One of the shocking parts of the film is how it reveals a syndicate of powerful individuals making money from organ trafficking.

Funkiest said things are changing and he now accepts different roles in recent time.

Funkiest Mallam has worked with top key players in the Nigerian movie industry like U.C.Ukeje ‘North East,’ among others. He is a popular Nigerian singer, MC and comic actor known for playing the role of Hausa Muslim scholar in a popular television series, Soap Opera and movies.

Funkiest Mallam was born half-Fulani, half-Hausa.

Not everyone from my background managed to stay on the right path. You’ll find many Hausas and Igbos who were born and raised in Lagos who don’t speak their native languages fluently, but they speak Yoruba with ease.
