Veteran Yoruba actor has spoken about a painful period in his early life when frustration and disappointment almost pushed him into giving up on himself.

The actor explained that things were extremely difficult for him before he became successful in Nollywood. At the time, he struggled financially and felt discouraged seeing old classmates doing better in life while his own dreams seemed delayed.

According to him, the pressure became so intense that he once considered death and even checked how much a casket would cost. He said the moment came from emotional exhaustion and hopelessness over his situation at the time.

Despite the difficult experience, Dele Odule eventually found success in the movie industry and built a long-standing career in Yoruba cinema. His story has since sparked reactions online, with many people praising his honesty about the emotional struggles he faced before fame.
