One would think you had something sensible to say and that you were going to be more sensible person than the moomoo they were correcting. So Mr Cho cho cho, is the yoruba industry Bollywood? The fact that you don't know someone doesn't automatically mean they aren't popular. I personally do not know him but would that make me say that senseless thing the commenter said?

How can a reputable newspaper like Premium Times write an obituary without the age of the deceased?

May his soul RIP.

You need to come correct here.

The Yoruba movie industry just like the Hausa, Ibibio, Edo, and Efik subsets of the movie industry are all collectively known as the Nigerian movie industry. The English language subset of the Nigerian movie industry is NOT the ONLY segment of the Nigerian movie industry.

As of 1988, the Yoruba movie industry practitioners pioneered the home video industry in Nigeria and that FIRST EVER home video entitled "Soso Ekun" was also screened simultaneously at the National Theatre in Lagos State. Prince 'Jide Kosoko, the late Prince Alade Aromire and many more started the home video industry in Nigeria which a Japanese-American journalist in the United States started referring to euphemistically as "Nollywood" in the early 2000s. That's how that rather insidious term came into being. Several Yoruba home videos subtitled in English were produced from 1988 long before other Nigerian linguistic groups started making their own home videos in the 1990s. These historical timelines which I personally witnessed can be verified online and offline.

As of 1969, the movie "Kongi's Harvest" by the iconic 1986 Nobel Laureate and film maker, Professor 'Wole Soyinka which was done on celluloid and screened in the cinemas in Lagos State and elsewhere became the FIRST Nigerian movie to be wholly produced by a Nigerian film crew led by the iconic Francis Oladele. The 1969 movie "Kongi's Harvest" is the film that the veteran film maker 'Tunde Kelani said motivated him to pick up a career in the movie industry because he watched it at a cinema in Lagos State in 1969!

I'm typing this post for the benefit of the younger folks who don't know how the Nigerian film industry started FULL blast from the 1960s till the home video revolution (Betamax and VHS tapes were used to package the home videos) started in 1988.

Last but NOT least, the Indian movie industry has long REJECTED the condescending and derogatory term "Bollywood" because it assumes that Indians are "Hollywood wannabes" and the Indians say they are NOT a caricature of Hollywood! Nigerians and Ghanaians especially some of the uninformed entertainment journalists who gleefully use the terms "Nollywood and Ghollywood" MUST reject those terms "Nollywood and Ghollywood" as well like the Indian movie industry folks have done. Period.

Whoa! More than 40 movies done by this gentleman (Okemesi)! I have to go check them up.

It's been long I watched Nigerian movies BUT I'm glad they've massively improved from the brilliant reviews I've read online.

At least respect the dead. And because you don't know him is not enough to assume he acted in just a movie.
