How reciting incantations in movies affected me in real life — Actor Adewale Alebiosu
Nollywood actor, Adewale Alebiosu — who’s famous for playing Babalawo or Ife priest in Yoruba movies — has revealed that reciting some incantations in movies affected him in real life.
Speaking with BBC Yoruba, Alebiosu said: “I never knew there was so much more to the incantations I was delivering. I thought I was just delivering my lines, not knowing there are repercussions to follow. Whenever I get home after the act, while I sleep I would see some strange beings and some would turn to goats and start biting me.”
Alebiosu warned that the coming generation who wants to play the role of a Babalawo should be very careful and be ready to be prayerful.
According to him, the role requires all sorts of precautions. “I’m saying this to warn them so that they don’t end up regretting their lives or ending up miserably,” he added.
