Surprised seeing many Nairalanders knowing all these things

abiiooo
Most ajebota children watch action films, cartoons, chinese films etc. They hardly even understand Yoruba to watch Yoruba home videos. That's why I'm surprised.

Subtitles na

some of us have parents raised "ajepako" so when they watched it we watched it

Add "Bashorun Gaa" to the list

David,

Did you watch Arelu? fadeyi Oloro, orishabunmi and co

somebody used to talk about it forever but i had no idea who those people were.
Are they gods? How can someone call themselves orishabunmi?

Hardcore ajepakos like me nor even get TV for house, the best we could do was to listen to Nnkan Be through the neighbour's window.

Igbo Irumole

Heard nnkan bee from school friends.
Actually my parents dont watch movies at all so we never saw any yoruba movies except the mount zion long running yoruba soap on OGTV. First yoruba movie i saw . . .

Saworoide is a good one though.

Mainframe movies in general sha. Lere Paimo na funny guy o.

I Like Iwo Ni and Eewo by Bayowa films. I also liked Mr. thompson and Spark the Killer.

Proper Ajepako like me who remembers the days of video sender when VHS video player was a status symbol and your neighbours would send it to you.

Or black and white TV covered with coloured Lucozade like nylons to give colors?

Who else has this relic of standing TV that lloks like wardrobes

Arelu, Omo araiye le, Idamu paadi Mikailu, Efunsetan Aniwura, Bashorun Gaa, O le ku etc and those Mount Zion

Ibere opin Aiye, Ewu Igba Ikeyin, Agbara nla,

I be proper youruba boy

sub wetin? subtitle are often a source of hilarity in their own right - complete with typos, mistranslations or plain bull

Dayo, you sure say you no be yurubu too?

Lmao. obviously. I mean one would have to not have heard a lick of Yoruba to not know which word doesnt match for the most part. Growing up I used to annoy my parents making them translate the incantations. Egabmi, Wetin concern a toad, lizard tail and a snake with what Im watching

What was the name of that Baba Sala film, where he went to the great beyond, got rich
and broke some sort of covenant?

I have never heard of Arelu until this thread, who was in it? Maybe I have seen it but can't remember the title.

Has anyone mentioned Old Ogunde movies? They were scary as hell!

This was a classic in our house. . . Orun mu Oru!

I didn't understand what the heck was going on back then but it was good! The guy died and the angelis won't let him enter heaven (don't know why) and he had to go from one realm to another searcch for something (I don't know what)

Omo laja. . . alls I remember is the chant

Demola ni olo Gani gbo girigiri
Olugbo ni ti eh girigiri

And The song

Ifa jigini jigini
Ifa funmi l'omo kan
Ifa jigini jigini oooh
Ifa funmi l'omo kan oh
Emi ti mo l'obirin mo ri omo gbe jo
Ifa jigini jigini

I know that one!

spikedcylinder:

I know that one!

Lol! Do you remember how the guy was dancing?

I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever (what did I know, I was Kid)

What about Ija Orogun?

Temilomo Temilomo
Temilomo  ti fi ya je mi ooh!

That was so sad? 


Gosh all this old movies. . . when my grandmother used to force us to watch 'em, I used to curse in my mind but now, I"d give anything to watch them again.

Back then? Yoruba movies were scary then, jare.

Oleku was the first Yoruba movie I actually sat down to watch because it was subtitled. My mom speaks the language like a native, so she interprets when there are no subtitles.

The Yoruba girls in my class then went crazy for Yemi my lover and I was like what da heck??

oyb:

Buhahahahaha

Fadeyi Oloro and Orishabunmi, that was scary, abeg. I don't know who sent me message to watch it in the first place.

LOL!
Koto Orun/Aye

Agbara nla.

Ogbori Elemosho

And there's this other popular Abija movie too . , cant rem the title of the movie.

LOL! Yemi My Lover. . . .
It would be funny to watch that again. I think there was another one after that called Yemi on the moon or something like that.
