Award-winning actor Femi Adebayo has come to the defense of his colleague, Odunlade Adekola, urging critics to approach his new movie, Warlord, with fairness and an open mind.
Adebayo’s statement followed a social media post that criticized the movie for what the user described as production flaws.
The user wrote, “Na you go be producer, main character, singer, director. Na why your movies no dey make sense. Do better.”

In response, Adebayo stressed the importance of respecting the filmmaking process, highlighting that a movie’s success relies on the combined efforts of directors, writers, crew members, and actors.
He further encouraged audiences to watch Warlord without prejudice and to offer constructive feedback rather than resorting to hurtful online comments.
Adebayo wrote, “I’ve noticed one or two tweets from this account about my brother’s movie. Understandably, you’re entitled to your opinion, but posting comments from behind a keyboard doesn’t automatically make those opinions accurate. Let’s keep it respectful, that is someone’s craft. Filmmaking is teamwork, with directors, writers, crew, and actors all putting in their best. This Project is my brother’s. Watch it at a cinema near you… and judge it with open eyes, not quick fingers. That’s the fair way!”
