I Wish I Were More Educated - Jide Kosoko

 

Popular actor, Prince Jide Kosoko, in this interview with Olushola Rickett, speaks on his passion for acting, the death of three wives and the tussle for power in the movie industry.What would you have loved to do differently?

I would have loved to be more educated. In whatever you do in life, education matters. I know there are people who are educated than me but are not doing much as I do.  But I have always believed that if I have had more education, I would have done many good things many years ago for the betterment of the industry.


Why didn’t you take education seriously at a time?

I started acting at the age of 10 like I said earlier. But for  a former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Alhaji Femi Okunnu, maybe I won’t even go to a higher institution at all. So, proceeding to Yaba College of Technology at a time I did was because he advised me to get a good education. I did business administration at Yabatech.
