My auntie recorded in on tape back in the day when it was still "Masquerade" and we listened to it repeatedly until the tape became unplayable.

Hmm....

Masquerade was a production of NTA Aba. Back in the day. 70s. It had Christy Essien in it. Later it went National as New Masquerade

When it comes to being funny you gotta give it to the Igbo man and the Yoruba man but most especially the Igbo man. Zebrudaya and eleyinmi and jegede shokoya were funny as shit

The Igbo man is funny to the Igbo man
He cannot be funnier to an Ogoni man than an Ogoni man

Your comment is unnecessary and senseless

There were not too many weak links on that show, all the characters were extremely talented and funny, jegede shokoya was funny as heck, giringory was funny as shit, eleyinmi was funny as shit, zebrudaya was funny as shit, Clarus was funny, it's all on YouTube

Eleyinmi was in Village Headmaster. Giringory, Natty, Ovularia and Christy Essien Igbokwe (her character name escapes me now) were in Masquerade/New Masquerade.

What a banger of a show that was.

So what?
You are one person
How many people have you met in your life
How many days have you been alive?
If you live for 100 years and meet 100 people every day How man y people will you meet?
What is funny to you is not funny to everyone
The point is there is no logical basis to make that statement
In fact it is unintelligent to generalise from your experience

[quote author=Baatunde post=123719780]Claude Eke- Jegede Shokoya gone too

[/quote

Jegede when his pride has been rightly or wrongly hurt by Ramota (his wife);

He puffs up, packs his "1500" agbada and goes:

"E mi, Jegede Shokoya, the grandson of Ijo Ijalaba, the son of the soil and by the grace of God, the youngest millionaire in the whole universe, its me you are talking to like this Ramota..."

Oh boy...Time sure flies.

Wishing Nigerian actor/comedian Chika Okpala, MFR a happy birthday today (born June 10, 1950). He is popularly known as Chief Zebrudaya Okoroigwe Nwogbo alias 4:30, an appellation he got from his role as "Chief Zebrudaya" in a TV comedy series, New Masquerade (1983-1993).

Happy birthday Chief Zebrudaya

Happy Birthday Sir. You made my childhood memorable. I can't forget Gregory and Cletus and others too.

I remember him with nostalgia. The man with tiger attack marks on his cheeks. Who was the second houseboy after Gringory, any recall?
