He was able to acquire western education in Ogbomosho, his land of birth, soon he moved to Ghana at a young age, he continued his education in Ghana acquiring it to the teachers' training level. He came back to Nigeria and became a teacher in Oshogbo.
After a few years of teaching, he joined to Oyin Adejobi’s company in 1960 then he crossed to Mbari acting club after a few years.
The transition from stage to film gave him more fame, in 1973, Lere went on to found his own company “Eda Theater Company “ his film house went on to produce about 15 movies.
