“I invested over N200million of my money into two films and now we are stuck” :Samuel

In 2013, my guest had a N1 million debt, he almost took his own life. At the time we did this interview, he said he was dealing with ‘gbese’ of over N100,000,000 and he says the lessons he learnt from 2013 is what keeps him going – confident that he will overcome.

Samuel Olatunji is his name – he is one of Nigeria’s biggest talent managers and entertainment publicists, having represented at several times over the past 2 decades Omotola, Mercy Johnson, Basketmouth and a roster of the very A-list including Toyin Abraham and Yvonne Jegede today.

He takes me behind the scenes to the struggles he saw his father deal with, the struggles he deals with today, and the struggles he has seen your favourite celebrities go through on the journey to being superstars today – the epic brand battle between Omotola and Genevieve, the press people who accused Mercy Johnson wrongly of theft and the many battles Toyin Abraham fought to get to success today.

Multiple exclusives today – from the mouth of the man who mints stars for a living.
