In a message she broadcasted on her BBM which was published online by her publicist, Emiralty Bello and regranned by her, Yewande alleged that the movie marketer is owing her N2million as royalties for her films which he has helped market. She says he is after her life and that if anything happens to her, he should be held responsible. Read below...
"
Good day Nigerians. My name is Yewande Adekoya-Abiodun. I am a happily
married movie producer, screenwriter and actress. I have been practising
since 2002 and i am presently a bonafide member of Tampan. I want to
beg Nigerians all over the world to pls help me tell Akeem Olatunji
Balogun (Olasco films) to leave my life alone. If anything bad happens
to me, Nigerians, pls hold Akeem Olatunji Balogun responsible. He has
marketed my movies for about six years now and i have nothing to show
for it financially. I do not even have a car of my own. He sold igbodudu
1&2, omo elemosho1&2, kudi klepto1&2, Emere, Irawo meji and
Kurukuru1,2,3. This man is presently owing me the sum of 2million naira
and he has refused to pay because he feels no one can challenge him. He
has been owing me since 2014. When he owes you, you dare not ask for
your money, if you do, he will start war just like the one he has just
started. He is also not the type that signs a contract due to his
dubious character. He prefers verbal agreements. He is very influencial
in the yoruba movie market, so it is almost a waste of time to report
him to anyone there. I know this because i had earlier reported him to
several marketers who have rapor with him, still no result. I called the
president of the yoruba marketers association, he didn't pick my calls.
I was eventually able to speak with his assistant who sympatised with
me and then told me that little or nothing could be done about the
matter. Olasco has humiliated and oppressed me for too long, and now, i
feel it's time to speak up. The last business deal i had with him that
really pissed me off was Kurukuru, a three part movie i wrote and
produced while i was 8months pregnant in 2015. He released kurukuru
online and on DVD in nov 2015, and then claimed we didn't make any
profit from the 3 releases of the movie despite the huge success record
the movie had. I
decided to keep mute about everything since last year, because i do not
like to fight anyone or make noise over anything whatsoever. He sent me
an embarrassing sum of N300, 000 which he believes should serve as my
payment for Emere, Irawo meji and Kurukuru part1,2 and 3. I quietly
moved on with my life and faced my work squarely, but Mr Akeem Balogun
will not let me be. He keeps oppressing and terrorising anyone i choose
to do business with. He even went as far as influencing movie marketers
and some movie producers to stop casting me for movie roles. Why? What
exactly did i do to you? What exactly do you want from me? Mr Akeem
Olatunji Balogun please leave me alone, i refuse to be enslaved by you,
like you enslave some others. You don't pay them and you also won't let
them do business with other people. Maybe it's because i refused to date
you even after all these years, that is why you are strongly determined
to destroy me. I serve a living God Mr Akeem and the God i serve will
never allow darkness overcome light. Olasco films has refused to pay me
my royalty for the three movies: Emere, Irawo meji and Kurukuru part1,
2, 3 and i have not yet taken him to court for that, and he is here,
strongly advocating against me doing business with other marketers and
film distributors of my choice. I know you are tough but my God is
tougher than you. Don't try HIM. I still have the bounced cheque of
1million naira that you gave me in 2011. May my God reward you
accordingly. My beautiful fans and fellow Nigerians all over the world,
pls help me tell this man to leave me alone oooooooooo if he does not
want the wrath of God to decend on his entire household.".

Na wa o these marketers tho
I hope the issue is settled amicably
. ~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
This is unfair
So she produced Kurukuru? I love that movie. I knew she was pregnant for real in that movie and she did a great job
Oga, please pay her and leave her alone
Eva Da Diva...
Hmmm
Na wa o
Olasco pay her and let her be. Don't play tough. Settle her for your reputation sake. All her Movies are good.
Yoruba actresses are low class with no morals. They will do ANYTHING to be in movie and are desperate for fame. This lady entered into business with a movie marketer with no documentation. And you think exposing him wil bring your money.
I keep saying when you watch the quality of movies and production churned out by the other people in the movie industry, the yoruba people will soon send themselves out of market with the rubbish they do bcos its an all comers affair. A platform for prostitutes.
She better thread lightly with all these evil wicked yoruba men. I remember when that girl bisi komolafe died not too long after fighting with Dele Odule. Heartless old men and all these young girls too that won't stay in their place. Dog figiting lion. She should just be quiet for now
omo elemosho you are one of the best to come from yoruba FILM industry.I love your acting and salute your courage to even speak out like this considering the status of olasco... but i am sorry you just announced your retirement from that industry......ask walata(shaeed balogun) he will tell you more about how this dubious marketers frozen him out of the industry because of this same issue. OLASCO WILL USE HIS EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NO MORE RELEVANT IN YORUBA FILM INDUSTRY.... BUT LIKE YOU RIGHTLY SAID, GOD IS THE BIGGEST HE WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLE AND ELEVATE YOU EVEN MORE THAN OLASCO IMMAGINATION.
Only in Nigeria and other parts of Africa can this nonsense happen. Anywhere else, this man could never have gotten his projects this far. His company would have been permanently shut down while his rear end burns in jail. The law is there for a reason. I wish Nigerian politicians and legislators would do their jobs.
If you don't have something good to say, keep quiet. If you have a bad behavior doesn't mean every other person does
My dear God dey that alone is enough just put ur mind hope and all on Him he will definitely fight for u. Oga Olasco if this is true pls pay and leave her alone in case u Dnt know she is an asset. Whatever transpire BTW both try and settle it ure older if u Dnt want too let her b.
Eyahhh
hian pay him na
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Hmmmmmm,d hustle is real
Lib addict#just passing#
That kurukuru movie was really nice. Don't worry God will fight for you.
Oh well
It's not just a book. Ordinary books entertain you!. This is a training book resource that teaches you to fish for money . The benefits are greater than even paying more for a 1-2 month training on Cellphone Repairs. You may forget some things taught but this resource remains with you for as long as you like for which you consult continuously!
A skill is capital! Exchange it for money. Invest in a superb skill!
Get Started!
Olasco has been doing it for ong, cos he slept with people like Ronke Oshodi-Oke and Funke Akindele for years, he thought everyone will be like that, Please pray to God to reward him accordingly. Haba!
This is more like a rehearsal for a season film...There is more to this!!!

You've made a terrible mistake by going into a contract with someone without proper documentation which would have helped you in the court of law. Please don't let that happen again regardless of how close you are to the person. As for this one, don't worry God will see you through. Be careful with all those diabolical people.

This is terrible, and dis man still been allowed to operate freely?
Have you ever watched any of her movies before? Please she's different. Don't judge!
Yewande, I'm proud of you that you voiced out. No one should ever have to sweat for his/her work and cry for his/her reward. Olasco, Kindly do the needful and pay her. Stop bringing ur rascality into a professional job.
This paragraph here is for "certain critics." Don't judge a book by it's cover. You spew out names & slander her cos she's a yoruba actress? The lady you're seeing there is a Babcock Graduate who had one of the best GPA's in her set. I know this cos i dated a boy in her set who was the second best in her class. I was 2 years their junior in d same field. Yewande was nice, patient & was willing to help with some course work that proved difficult. Yewande wasn't my close friend but i could count on her during those times. Guess what? My GP for the semester was one of the best i had, thanks to her and my boyfriend. And some of u just disregard people's work or job just to feel better. You're no different from the Olasco she's calling out. Even a toilet paper is better than u.
Yewande might not even remember me but i do remember her today cos it was part of her effort that put me in a multinational oil & gas firm today.
Sit back and av a rethink of ur life before rubbishing people's profession.
@yewande i hope u get ur money back dear. I will certainly put u in prayers!
Well we only heard from ur side but if ur claim is true. Then relax. Nemesis will catch up with him and Law of Kamar will surely take effect either on him or his children but as advised by ur other fans. Be wise and be formal. Enter a legally binded contract with dem. I expect u to b more wise dan dis. U fall my hands. All d same move on. You are a good artist. He can't take that from u. Some of us might not be on d screen but we as talented as well. So, I'm confirming for u that u r good and we r always happy seeing u on screen. Move and put d enemy to shame.
That is why I hate dis country, olasco suppose to be in jail, and they are fighting corruption.
