its my experience and opinion and I am entitled to share it on a public forum . If you don't like public forums with varied opinions I suggest you log off

Your experience is not reality
Opinions are okay but not fact


If a person has an experience that every Igbo man he meets has body door that does not justify the statement that

"IGBO MEN SMELL.BAD"
That is unintelligent

When NTA was the talk of town then

Always bring laughter with how he acts

Zebrudaya!!! The comic actor who graced our black & white television with so much happiness

Nigeria should celebrate these our legends while they are still alive. I was thinking he will even be much older now. Thank God for his life. I really enjoyed those good days of NTA teledrama. They were top notch and highly professional. I pray that some of them that made us to see a good Nigeria will still be privileged to see a better Nigeria before they leave. Happy birthday sir.

Claude Eke- Jegede Shokoya gone too


He was an excellent actor. He didn’t have a single drop of Yoruba blood, but when he SPOKE. My goodness. You would swear he was born and bred in Ekiti.

All the actors in Masquerade were just first rate.

Same as those in Village Headmaster.

They were comparable to the best anywhere in the world.

The reason he disappeared from acting was when the hollywood (home video) thing began, the producers didnt want him in their films.
I wonder why?

While actors can perform any role.
