Femi Adebayo Celebrates OAU Student Who Based Research Project on His Film ‘Seven Doors’

Award-winning actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo has expressed joy and gratitude after Oyindamola, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), dedicated her academic research project to his movie Seven Doors. The Nollywood star described the gesture as both humbling and inspiring.

Adebayo, who is the son of veteran actor Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello), took to social media to celebrate Oyindamola’s scholarly work, acknowledging the far-reaching influence of his film. The student’s research, titled “The Aesthetics of Oral Performance in Femi Adebayo’s Seven Doors,” examined the artistic and cultural dimensions of the movie, emphasizing its impact beyond entertainment.

The actor later visited Oyindamola at OAU, where she formally presented her project to him. The meeting stirred excitement on social media, with many fans praising Adebayo’s humility and his willingness to connect with young scholars who draw inspiration from his art.

Sharing photos from the visit, Adebayo expressed heartfelt appreciation for the recognition. He described the experience as a milestone in his career and a reflection of how far his passion for storytelling has come.

“From taking acting seriously to becoming a subject of study, everything came full circle when I met Oyinda at Obafemi Awolowo University,” he wrote. “Grateful to see my art echo beyond the stage into academia. What started as passion and discipline has now become a movement of its own. I feel honoured and motivated to keep giving my best.”
