Nollywood actor Gabriel Afolayan is reflecting on his career journey following his big win at the just concluded AMVCA 11th edition award.
Kemi Filani reported that the talented actor had won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in Inside Life.
Taking to his Instagram page to show off his trophies, he noted how he got into the game in 1990 as a child actor, made a comeback in 2000 after taking a school break, became famous in 2005 and started enjoying his reward.
“Got into the game since 1990 through Baba-Sala as a child actor.

Last year, Afolayan shared a deep message analysing the adage about waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. Disagreeing with the saying, he noted that waiting for the light at the end of a tunnel was wrong when one can have a light throughout the tunnel. He admonished for light and enjoyment through the process of getting to the end of the tunnel.
In 2023, Gabriel, alongside Lateef Adedimeji, was honoured with a Doctor of Philosophy in Arts and Culture from Estam University. Expressing gratitude to the University, he promised to keep shaping the world positively with his Art.
