Thank God it ended in good news. I nor fit shout

The one with the record version of him going to America still rings in my ears and the one with Adisa, where he roped him that he stole the King's dog

I wish I can get my hands on some of his works now.

His appearance alone makes me laugh.

And you know what, they can sign too. There was a complete song album made for " Orun Mu Ooru" and it was above average.

Albert Ogunde albums had some deep messages for discerning minds then.

Now Nollywood is trying to copy Hollywood even in act...chai!

Even radio Lagos 107.5 FM announced it on their programme this morning that he's dead

You are probably born in 2000 and something if you don't know him.

Death can never be ur portion.........

RIPEnglish:
I don't knew him so i am cared less

I guess you are an Indomie generation?

RIPEnglish:
I don't knew him so i am cared less

You don't know him 'cos you belong to the indomie generation.

There should be a hefty punishment for false info spreader.

Dangote indomie spotted

He should address a press conference

Oju4190:

BABA SALA WAS A POPULAR COMEDIAN ON NTA IBADAN SERIA SHOWS IN THE 70's to 80'S.

JUST AS YOU HAVE THE LIKES OF BABA SUWE. IBU. EKUA AND OTHERS NOW.

Sincerely my brother. These men of substance did nice jobs. Of recent I watched a Hollywood movie on the internet titled MR JOHNSON where Hubert Ogunde featured. I learnt white people came to Nigeria then to study our stories for film adaptation.
Besides was it true that the movie Orun Mo'oru made Baba Sala bankrupt?

Baba Sala....

The best comedian Yoruba movies ever had..

He acted before.... Jacob, Aderupoko, Papalolo, Papi Luwe, Obalende, Baba Suwe, Pariolodo, Ereke, Alajeju, Otolo, Ojoge, and even Mr. Latin..

He is the best of the best...

Yes, Orun Mooru is a classic comedy and drama depicting that poverty doesn't kill but excessive affluence and indulgence in high life..

It was a film that was watched in cinemas in the 80s and Baba Sala is in the league of legends like Hubert Ogunde, Ade Love, Akin Ogungbe and so on

He borrowed heavily from the defunct National Bank to produce the film titled Orun Mooru with collateral and heavy interest.. The film was meant to be watched in cinemas but it was pirated and began to be sold everywhere.. Even my dad had the video and since everybody had the film at home, no one watched in cinemas again and that ruined him till date..

He made other films like Mosebolatan and Aare Agbaye but not as popular as Orun Mooru...

His major protegee is King Sunny Ade and a very popular comedian in the early 90s called Obalende.

The old man deserves respect for his great talent..

Yes, Orun Mo'oru was produced using bank loan. People got hold of the tape duplicated it and put it on VCR cassettes. This made several people not to pay to see the movie at the cinemas which was where you recoup your money back then.

I think that was even his last major work.

Orun Morun has many songs and some are:

1. Ile Ayo
2. Iku kii pani ayo lo npani
3.Omo Araye, e MA so iku lenu

I remember those songs because l watched the film in cinema with my family and later my dad bought the pirated copy in black market

I also remember the songs very well because we practiced and sang them during our cultural days in school..

My favorite is.... Ile ayo lo woo yii , ni bi ti ko si ibanuje..

Ile ayo, nile awa *2

Eni ba wole wa o wole owo

Eni ba wole wa o wole ayo

Ibanuje ko si o fun WA nile olokun oh iyemoja yeye odo.....

I love those songs and l can't believe I still remember them more than 30 years later..

Personally, l prefer baba suwe after baba sala ..

Thanks @Lagospikin for this eye opener. I remembered back then that dad took us to watch Mosebolatan at Sokoto Stadium then, but like you said, it was not a hit like Orun Mo'oru. He later produced another titled Diamond. I did not know how far that went. These are the real people that should be celebrated. Besides who played the character of Iya Sala then that had a funny accent? I was too small to remember these casts then, I don't know if you could help with that if some of them are still alive.

Thank God ,you are alive

Iya Sala was Aduke George (she is late now)... Other major casts are: Adisa (the educated and enlightened character and the one constantly correcting Baba Sala and bailing him out of his self-induced troubles) then there is Baba Legba, Kari-Ile his dumb and deaf village wife, (that's the one with the funny way of speaking because she is half deaf) Asipe a thug , Obalende, and others... Mainly his Achiles heels are always light skinned women (omo pupa)...

Such comical lot alongside Baba sala..
