Today brought me a double celebration as I woke up to fantastic news. Yesterday marked the beginning of the filming journey for my movie, “Anikulapo Rise of the Spectre” series. As calls started pouring in to congratulate me, I was unaware of the reason behind it until they shared the list of newly honored recipients of the national award.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Federal Government for bestowing upon me the prestigious OON merit award. This recognition means a great deal to me as a proud Nigerian who firmly believes in the potential of our great nation. May Nigeria continue to flourish and prosper.
In my Instagram post, I captioned it with gratitude, “Thank you to the Federal Republic of Nigeria for this esteemed honor. Ogbeni Adekunle Ayodeji Akande (OON).”
