Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon. In a recent interview with Hip TV, he opened up about not receiving any significant awards despite being in the industry for a long time. However, he remains focused and doesn't let the lack of recognition define him.
Okanlawon emphasized that he encourages himself and finds validation within himself rather than relying on awards. He mentioned that while he would graciously accept an award if it comes his way, he believes that his presence in the industry should validate an award, not the other way around. He takes pride in his work and doesn't let the absence of awards dampen his spirits.
It's inspiring to see how Okanlawon maintains his confidence and self-belief regardless of external recognition. Awards can be a great honor, but true validation comes from within.
