Pefuele also known as ara osan is in the United States. Now a nurse.
Nurse?
I'm delighted to hear this, but I wasn't aware he had a relevant qualification to work with as a nurse, I only knew he won the visa lottery back in the late 90s.

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 ...
they all started together but Lukuluku has more fame from the mid 80s and got more features cos of his style and people request for him.. though Eri keke was growing on Channel 7 but Suwe huge breakthrough came after his death through bayowa

Suwe didn't start doing yoruba comedy when lukuluku died

They both acted together in many films

Suwe was a producer/creator of his own comedy series and films

Wetin you mean by huge breakthrough
