Nollywood actor, Adewale Alebiosu, who is famous for playing ‘Babalawo’ an Ife priest, in Yoruba movies, has revealed that reciting incantations in movies affected him in real life.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, Alebiosu said, “I never knew there was so much more to the incantations I was delivering. I thought I was just delivering my lines, not knowing there are repercussions to follow. Whenever I get home after the act, while I sleep I would see some strange beings and some would turn to goats and start biting me.”
He, therefore, warned the coming generation of artistes who desire to act the role of an Ifa priest, saying that they should be very careful and be ready to be prayerful.
“I’m saying this to warn them so that they don’t end up regretting their lives or ending up miserably,” he added.
