Adewale Alebiosu, the popular Babalawo or Ife priest character in Yoruba movies, has revealed that reciting some incantations in movies had some negative effects on him in real life.
Alebiosu told BBB Yoruba that he was just doing his job as an actor and had no idea the incantations he was reciting would come back to haunt him in real life.
"I never knew there was so much more to the incantations I was delivering," Alebiosu said. I thought I was just saying my lines, not realizing there would be consequences. When I returned home after the act, I would dream of strange beings, some of which would transform into goats and begin biting me."
Alebiosu forewarned the next generation who wants to play the role of a Babalawo should be very careful and be ready to be prayerful. According to him, the role requires all sorts of precautions.
“I’m saying this to warn them so that they don’t end up regretting their lives or ending up miserably,” he said.
