Dele Odule Opens Up About Pricing His Casket

Odule claimed that while struggling with the idea that his career had stagnated, he went to a casket shop with coworker Olaiya Igwe.

“I had priced my own casket before, when I was in a state of hopelessness, and complete loss of hope in Abeokuta. Olaiya Igwe went there with me. “Olaiya started crying like a baby.”
