Peter Fatomilola is an actor, poet, playwright, retired academician, and Ifa priest. The 78-year-old Nigerian born on 16 January 1946 is most famous for being the first Papa Ajasco in the renowned comedy series of the same title. From his career, he has accumulated an estimated net worth of $200,000.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Fatomilola has grown with the film industry. His career has seen him through the golden and present eras of Nigerian TV. He has spent over 5 decades acting and writing for stage drama and TV and is most famous for his roles in Rise of the Saints<\/em> (2020), Papa Ajasco<\/em> (1984), and Gold Statue<\/em> (2019).<\/p>\n Peter Fatimilola is currently 78 years old. He was born on 16 January 1946 in Ifisin-Ekiti, Southern Region, British Nigeria, now known as Ekiti State, Nigeria. He is one of the many children of an Ifa priest father and the only child born to his mother (a woman from Kwara State). The actor was raised in a very large family, as his father married 9 women.<\/p>\n At a young age, Peter was exposed to both Christianity and the Ifa – divination and\/or native knowledge and belief system of the Yoruba.<\/a> This is because his mother was a Christian, while his father served as an Ifa Priest known as Oluwo. Most Sundays, he would follow his mother to the church and would also help in preparing a place for his father for the Ifa service.<\/p>\n Before he turned 18, he already knew the intricacy of Ifa divination. This would lead to his later becoming an Ifa priest.<\/p>\n Peter Fatimilola attended the Apostolic Primary School, Iwaro Oke, Ilesa, in Osun State. He also attended Ife City Commercial College. According to the actor, he was very bright and was also enthusiastic about education.<\/p>\n The legendary actor fell in love with acting through the Ifa service. While in primary school, he started writing playlets, and this also led to his starting as a young director of plays.<\/p>\n For his tertiary education, the gifted actor went to the former University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University. With the institution, he started as a member of the Ife Theater in 1967. The group at the time was called Ori Olokun players.<\/p>\n In the 1977\/1978 session, the Department of Dramatic Arts was established, and he was a part of the first set that the department graduated.<\/p>\n The highly skilled actor has a net worth estimated at over $200,000 (about \u20a6138.2 million). He has earned mainly from his career as an actor since the 1970s. Also, he has earned from being a teacher and perhaps from other business ventures that he has kept private.<\/p>\n There are sources that believe that the actor may have a net worth that runs into millions ($1-5 million). However, this net worth has not been attested by the actor. This is a similar case to the net worth that we have estimated (over $200,000).<\/p>\n Regardless of this, it is difficult to ascertain his exact income through the years. This is mainly because Nigerian actors rarely bring to the open whatever they earn. In any case, there are sources that claim that many actors earn from around \u20a6100,000 to even a million. Then, Yoruba actors may earn even lesser.<\/p>\n Since Peter Fatomilola has featured in both stage, TV series, and films of both English and Yoruba languages, it is needless to say that from each of his works, he may have earned over \u20a6100,000 in recent times and lesser at the time he started his career.<\/p>\n Peter fell in love with acting early in life through his observation of Ifa services. In fact, according to him<\/a>, the process of the service was actually when he started acting. Yet, at this time, he did not start earning, but it marked the beginning of his long career that led to his $200,000 net worth.<\/p>\n In primary school, he wrote many playlets, including Atitebi.\u00a0<\/em>He also started directing and later formed a group called Ta Ta Ta, Tu Tu Tu<\/em> while he was working at Esa Oke Farm Settlement.<\/p>\n He later relocated to Ile Ife, where he continued his pursuit of acting. This would lead to his being the co-founder of the Ife City Dramatic Society. \u00a0He led the group to the Oranmiyan Festival of Arts competition. The competition was chaired by the legendary Ola Rotimi<\/a>, who took a special interest and helped him mold his love for the arts.<\/p>\nSummary of Peter Fatomilola<\/strong>\u2019s Bio\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
