A good commentary and a beautiful rendition to those artists who laboured to make today's Nigerian television theatres to become a showpiece of elegance all over the World!

The true legends

He was a big time jester. The likes of Baba Suwe and Latin came into the limelight after the death of Lukuluku. Before him were Baba Sala, Jakobu, Aluwe and Sakaworo. There was also this talkative man they call Ajere. I also remember Opebe, Detan, Otolo and Epo Kinkin
Baba Suwe came to light after Lukuluku bawohuh

Baba Suwe was legit on ground since 1986 when l was in my early teen.

Someone that regularly featured on Channel 7 in the mid 80s in the comedy series: Erin-keekee alongside opebe, Suwe, Pa Kasunmu , ldogo , Engineer Jolo-jolo and others ..

In the early 90s too, Baba Suwe legit acted in a comedy called Agbefo with likes of Shola Smart, Yinka Quadri, lya ngba life, Elesho and co

Not forgetting him also with Obalende , Oloye Ajeere, Deborah, Bayo in Omo Lasan in 1992...

Go and watch Late Gbenga Adeboye's first comedy video ( Iya Onibeji Atowoda) in 1992 and you will see Baba Suwe wearing armless shirt and with full punk haircut

Lukuluku had not even dreamt of acting at that time..

Baba Suwe was the next comic legend after Baba Sala and not even Latin could dethrone him..

He had a setback during his drug saga with NDLEA but came back big afterwards

Anyway, may these legends continue to rest in peace ...

The crying crying Bantashi. He must cry to express himself.

Channel 7 of those days really tried for us.
Not your normal crying o. but that unique crying style wey go first gather momentum, shift, and engage gear!
If his dressing alone did not crack you up, by the time his crying prowess reach gear 4, you will be rolling on floor!

Lukuluku Bantashi, Epo-tintin, Ajere/Pa James, Elesho, and many more made our childhood years great fun.

Nostalgia!
