Happy 78th birthday to a veteran Yoruba Nollywood Actor, Kola Oyewo.

BACKGROUND:
After management at Ori Olokun Cultural Centre announced that those without a university degree would be laid off as they do not fit into the description of theatre arts to be pursued. This was when late Prof Ola Rotimi left and was replaced by Prof Wole Soyinka. Encouraged by colleagues and professors like Femi Osofisan, Kola Oyewo worked hard to obtain a degree in Theatre Art to avoid losing his spot in the group. He was later encouraged to pursue a master’s degree and PhD by Professor Femi Osofisan who was his undergraduate supervisor.

Oyewo became a father at a young age and had a child when he was 21. Six months after his birth, the child died. Years later, he and his wife had another male child who they named Adewale (the crown has come home). He has since had another four boys.

He loves the songs of Fela, KSA, Orlando Owoh and Sikiru Ayinde Barrister in that order. His father, Mr. Bamgbola Oyewo, was an Egungun dancer (masquerader) from whom he learnt patience.

Oyewo is a recipient of the City People Movie Special Recognition Award.

DAWN Commission celebrates KUNLE OYEWO as a true Akikanju.
