    Femi Adebayo Recounts Isolation Experience, Lessons COVID-19 Taught Him

    Femi Adebayo Recounts Isolation Experience, Lessons COVID-19

     

    Following his 21-day isolation experience, Nollywood talented actor, Femi Adebayo says he has learnt a lot of life lessons from the pandemic. 

    Speaking during a chat with Seye Kehinde, the publisher of City People magazine, Adebayo said he had gone into isolation for 14 days after he returned from a trip to the United States and was scared of the disease.

    Adebayo said the only time he spends more than five nights in his house is when he travels out of the country.

    On the lesson COVID-19 has taught him, the actor said: “The first thing I learnt is not to be too desperate about anything. If things were normal, I would have said, by this time, I have to be here and there. Now, everything stands still and there is nothing happening to anybody. Life still remains the same. It has really taught me to take things easy. Everybody globally has been forced to take things easy. It has really taught me to be calm with almost everything. And it also gives me the opportunity to bond so much with my family. It’s a very bonding time.

    Asked if Nigerians should expect a movie on COVID-19, Adebayo, who happens to be the son of veteran actor, Adebayo Salami said he alongside some others were working on a script already

    ”As a matter of fact, we are putting the script together. It’s worth talking about because it has never happened. I’ve never experienced this. I was in the US for the survival of Jelili’s tour when it all started. We’ve paid for several halls, advertisements. People were already showing interest. Some people have even bought their tickets online, and all of a sudden, we have to stop and I have to rush back to Nigeria.

    “I got back to Nigeria on 21st March, isolated myself for 14 days, I did all protection possible when I was coming home. I ensured that I didn’t have any contact, on when I got back I still isolated myself, thank God, I’m all right, I’m safe. I must be sincere, the NCDC people are really working, they make calls to every one of us who came back every day to ensure that we are safe. They told us if we feel any symptoms we should come for the test.

    “Don’t let me lie to you, I was scared. I was more conscious of myself. If I have a little headache, I will be thinking otherwise. I read about all the signs and symptoms and I discovered that I didn’t have any, or show any. After 14 days, I was excited, I must be sincere.”

    Apart from being an actor, Adebayo is a director, producer born into the family of entertainers.

    He officially played his first major role in “Owo Blow” a 1996 film directed by Tade Ogidan.
