ajepako: 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..
You remeber Baba Sala's chararcter very well amd his cast. Kudos!
aycorporat: 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?
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.
aycorporat: 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!
I grew up watching his shows on TV and listening to his records. Very talented comedian, not the insulting, talk too much version we have in Yoruba movies these days.
Some of the scene and statements are enshrined in my memory forever as a kid.
These older men had better content than the comedians today.
Aragon: My brother this one no be Convince Matter! It is your Right as a Citizen of Nigeria not to Like your President and You definitely Have some Convincing Reason why you do not like him Just as its my Right to like him cos I have some Convincing Reasons to... What is VITAL here is both of us are grown ups that can make our own opinions based on FACTS that are available to us. What we CAN NOT do is allow ANYONE, especially somebody that has benefited hugely from the same systerm he is now trying to tear apart. Somebody born with a Silver spoon that has never known suffering, somebody who always want to be making Money from Government that became Bitter cos that Avenue is Close. That person my dear brother can never be allowed to Influence any of us. I will rather listen to a poor suffering beggar Criticize Buhari, than this FFK. Just go to Youtube and watch some of his Clips and you might want to Slap him if he is standing in your presence. How can a Sane man be Changing his mouth and saying different thing everytime? Abeg Listen to FFK below and Judge for yourself...make sure u watch everything, shame go catch you! I will wait for your take after you watch the Clip
Nigerians have very low emotional intelligence even when they have high IQ, politicians for some shear luck and coincidence have figured this out. And, that is why Fayose, FKK, Nnamdi Kanu etc have large followership today.
Sterope: It is sexual assault. It is illegal. Nothing under the law provides for such despicable act. They can be prosecuted and imprisoned for such behaviour. It is so wrong on many levels, their job description does not include the power to punish. If they want to arrest for public decency, they should and let the law take its course.
I bet you also think prostitutes should be raped because of the nature did their profession. I bet you believe raping a cheating GF is justified. Bloody hypocrite! You call yourself a Christian yet you condone such act. Mr holier than thou! Is it your body? There is something called averting your gaze, it is not very hard.
Ironically, your signature happen to speak to you. You should do well to reflect on it.
iluvpomo: Wrong about Leicester.... they were the champions the previous season. In the season when they beat Sevilla Leicester was 12th in the EPL while Sevilla was 4th .... do not try to 419 the facts there .... Are you ready to bet that Atletico Madrid will win La Liga this coming season?? Put your money where your mouth is ... let me collect free beer from you The EPL has had different teams in the top 4, even Mr 4th place Wenger was disengaged from his spot last season. This is what makes the EPL exciting. With La Liga, it's the same story.... will Barca or Real Madrid win it this season?? ..... BORING!!
How did they end up in the champions league when they were 12th? They were the defending EPL champion that season!
They guy has presented facts, your arguments are watery. He is right about you though. You will never change your mind. Claiming you cannot predict who will win EPL when we all know it is basically between 4 teams and LA Liga between 4 too (Real, Athletico, Barca and always a 4th dark horse. Villarieal, Sevilla etc)
A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion. That is you! A typical Nigerian!
gypsey: okay!, you sound pretty reasonable and Rational to me, you also seem educated, not naive, humble and liberal. the qualities every Adequate guy would want in a girl/woman. I ve been wondering why a hot blooded guy would think they don't want to spoil you.
However, I believe that there's always someone made for someone, it's just perhaps it isn't the right time or you have not met your type yet. also if you ever come across a guy you like don't be too shy to compliment him it makes guys feel good and if they are nice and matured enough not to get carried away by it they will return the compliment.
I wasn't suggesting you behave like a who!re, some carefree atitude and flirtations can attract a guy to you, that doesn't also means you are too easy, it just means a guy would feel comfortable talking about relationships and intimacy with you.
safarigirl: trust me, nobody sees me as too nice. I'm liberal with my words and i'm not very religious, I just wouldn't condone certain whorish acts.
I like smart guys that are equally liberal with their words and not hung up on religion or philosophy. I'm not trying to go after perceived bad boys, but I would rather not date a church boy, we no go kuku get discussion
Why don't you and your adviser hook up.
Wetin u dey find go Sokoto dey the pocket of your " Sokoto" (Trousers)
Mcowubaba: Lol, I dey learn work oo Some people don watch pass me by far..
Yes, friends series is interesting. That's one of my first American TV shows, I was much younger when I watched it... It's not as recent as this other ones ooo, lol. I believe it last aired around 2005 or so , that's the final season (10)
But I advise that you watch it, start downloading from season 1, you can do it.
I began watching the Big bang theory when it was was already at the 9th season , baba I download from season 1 to season 10, average of 24 episodes each.. And I didn't regret it'd one bit
I am addicted to BIG BANG THEORY! So funny and witty. I do not know why a lot of peeps do not follow it in Nigeria. I can never be bored with Big Bang Theory.
I really do not like scandals.

Some guys are not the calling type. If I do not have anything to say, I do not call. Thank God my partner understood this and we are still very close.
I can call once and talk for 30mins to an hour, maybe once in a day or 3 days sometimes.
Like you said, if my partner calls me, I pick or call back when less busy. Although, I have found out early that nearly 95% of phone calls in this clime are unnecessary. As much as I know technology has breached communication gaps, however our parents built lasting relationships even when partners can only communicate through letters that will arrive months later. Now with mobile phones, we actually think we show care by the number of calls.
The most important thing is he calls back.
For some strange reasons, I reply sms almost instantly which I rarely do with calls.
Frankyboy1: I pray you scroll down enough to read my message! Forget what kids are saying down there, I am a man who has been in the game long enough to advise you. DON'T MARRY HER! You have always loved her and she has been ur childhood crush and your kind of ideal woman all along, but she is not who you thought she was all this while! She is not and has never been in love with you neither is she naturally attracted to you! She likes you enough to MARRY you, cause as a woman you foot the bill and the time is right, but for her withstanding you sexually all these years,but was dishing it out to someone else and even insisted on keeping the child outside wedlock! Ogbeni that is the man she really loved! A woman that loves you and is sexually active,can't withstand ur advances for years even when she knows you were genuine about her! Find a girl who loves you for you, and has good moral standards,but her knees grow weak at ur touch or advances! If not you 're marrying a woman whom after a while ur sexual advances might even irritate her! Sexuality and raw chemistry is a big ingredient in marital relationship
charles009: Always hold on to this advice, key 1 Believe in yourself. The position is for a regional sales manager with minimum of 12years experience. I only have 7+. I reluctantly applied and was called.
Interview day, I saw grey hairs from top companies also, some with over 20years in sales , at that point I knew I had an even more chance . a few guys came out and reminded us we having to deal with over 8 Sales consultants interviewing you. Lol
Key 2: Dress to kill. I showed up in a 120k suits and over 50k shoes. These interviewers are gonna judge you before you speak
Key 3: Mix confidence with firmness- read up everything about the position, how you have applied them in the past and how you achieved results. Speak good, clear English. In your salary negotiation be very firm. Tell them your pay and please do not appear desperate.
All this JOB SECURED through Nairaland are too vague.
You may not give details of the company but a simple flow from advert, how you prepared, responded during interview and when offer was made would have been more helpful to the unemployed you are trying to encourage.
Alexk2: To think many didnt see this coming is sad. i know it can only be for personal gains; "Empty Noise-maker"
A wise man once predicted that democracy may not be the best form of government because at a certain stage, when low IQ people are in the majority, a slowpoke will be elected to be president.
Buhari was voted based on sentiments, same with Jonathan (I have no shoes, the poor thought he came to rescues them). OBJ, a little sentiment in his first term but he is by far the most competent since 1999 and he is still below par.
Look at the recently concluded senatorial election in Ede, sentiments too. Hate for Aregbe's woeful performance and death of a brother is the reward for Adeleke.
Did Lere Olayinka not vie for PDP spokes person? just because he put out attacks on APC and Buhari per hour and he automatically becomes the most qualified even when majority of his press release is shallow.
I have always maintained that our president is always a reflection of how majority reason.
Right now with the comments on social media and other platforms, Fayose stands a good chance of becoming VP, if not president.
