Yoruba Legendary movie actor,‘Baba Sala’ as popularly known by fans was born on May 18, 1936. He is hailed from Ijesha, Osun State. As an actor, his stage name is ‘Baba Sala’.

The real name of Baba Sala is Mr. Moses Olaiya Adejumo. I know this veteran and ace actor as a musician, dramatist cum comedian. Baba Sala can also be regarded as one of the fathers if not even the grand-father of the modern Nigerian comedians.

He always sings in a spectacular way in all his movies. Hardly you will watch any of his movies without singing in it due to his passion for music.

There were other popular actors and actresses who used to showcase in his film. The likes of Iya Sala and late Adisa (as called in the movies) used to called him ‘Lamidi’. One could not actually say if this Adisa (stage name) was a friend or an apprentice of Baba Sala due to their good relationship.

Karounwi as popularly called in one of Baba Sala’s movie named ‘Orun-mooru’ was a big budget movie recorded on Celluloid which was later pirated into VHS home video then. The piracy of this film cost Baba Sala a lot of havoc which if not for God and his bravery, could have led to one’s death. Thank God Baba Sala is still alive today while the pirate of the movie – ‘Orun Mooru’ is no more alive.

Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala) was a friend to Late Oyin Adejobi – the creator of “Ile Iwosan” a Yoruba home movies series aired on the then Television Station Of Oyo State (TSOS) later changed to Broadcasting Corporation Of Oyo State (because).
He was also an actor alongside a father of actors (especiall Yoruba genre) Hubert Ogunde, the producer and owner of the then ‘Aye’, ‘Jaiyesimi’. Hubert Ogunde, apart from the fact that he was an actor, he was also a musician. He composed and sang ‘Onimoto rora sare o, Onimoto rora gbesele….’. He also sang ‘Yoruba yo yo yo bi Ina ale, Yoruba ru ru ru bi omi okun, Yoruba baba ni baba nse’ and lots more.

Baba Sala was also a friend to Kola Ogunmola – the father of Peju Ogunmola also known as Peju Omobolanle (Pa Aluwe’s wife) and late Ayo Ogunmola (of blessed memory, a film producer and film director during his life time). Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala) was also a friend of late Duro Ladipo, the producer of ‘Sango’ (of that time), ‘Oruka ife’ and others.

Late Ishola Ogunsola (of blessed memory) popularly known as Isho-Peppe was also an actor alongside Baba Sala. Lere Paimo (still alive) and lots more.

A movie produced for TV station by Baba Sala is ‘Obe gbona’ out of many and the movies for cinema are ‘Aare Agbaye’, ‘Orun Mooru’, ‘Mosebolatan’. Mosebolatan was a film produced after the pirated ‘Orun Mooru’ where he showcased the late magician – Professor Peller.

For many people who do not know, Baba Sala started his career as show business as a musician of ‘High life’ as far back as 1964 under a brand name of a band known as ‘Federal Rhythm Dandies’. Through this band, he tutored and guided the master and the King of Juju music(ians) – Prince Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye popularly known as King Sunny Ade (KSA) who played the role of ‘Lead Guitar’ in Baba Sala’s music band.

Baba Sala is married and gave birth to children. He is also a grand father. Among his children are Emmanuel Adejumo, Adedamola Adejumo – the producer of evergreen song ‘Oluwa mi mohun ti o se, Jesu mi mo’hun ti yo se….’

The moral of this is that whatever your hands find to do, do it with your whole heart, with your whole mind and might for in that grave, you could do but nothing.

Nigeria Is Going To Be The Envy Of The World Soon, Says VP Osinbajo On Independence Day

“The reason why we are so optimistic is because we know that we are the best, we know we are going to excel, it may seem like it’s taking a while, and there are many problems, but every one of the over 1,000 days that I have been Vice President for, I grow stronger in my complete confidence that we are going to be the envy of the whole world in a few short years. Well, you might say that that is optimistic, why not, I am a Nigerian” – VP Osinbajo


Remarks By His Excellency, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, Vice President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria, At The Independence Day Dinner And Gala Night Held At The State House Banquet Hall, Abuja, On Monday, October 1, 2018

Protocols

I am extremely pleased to be here to join you all at this special anniversary dinner. I also must thank you all very much for honouring our invitation to be here to celebrate our country, especially on this 58th anniversary of our Independence. I am 61 years old this year, and most of those six decades I have lived here in this country, here in Nigeria. So, I think I can say that I know Nigeria quite well.

A few years ago, a poll reported in The British Independent newspaper declared us the happiest people on earth. The same poll said that we were also amongst the most optimistic people on earth, despite everything that we’ve experienced as a nation. I agree with both assessments, in other words, that we are possibly one of the happiest in the world, but I must also add that we are by far the most humorous people on the face of the earth. Well, if you don’t agree with me, but I can tell you so many reasons why we are the most humourous.

A few months ago, an important Nigerian politician who was on his way to a trial in a court said he was abducted. And after he escaped from his abductors, he remained hiding on a tree for 11 hours. The most interesting part of that story is that many people online in particular, on the Internet, started to tell stories of different birds and how long those birds could remain perched on a tree. All these were the Nigerian contributions to that story.

Yet another very important politician insists, and still insists that the most important attribute for leadership is dancing, and boy could he dance! And for those who think that that is ridiculous at least 200,000 people voted for him in a particular election.

When I served as Adviser to the Attorney General of the Federation between 1987 and 1992, I had a driver who was always broke. But he was always so optimistic. He had 14 children, while I, his boss, had only one child at the time. And I asked him, “Why do you just keep having so many children?” Of course he had more than one wife. He said to me in Yoruba “I don’t know which of them can become President of Nigeria. So, the more I have, the better my chances.” How optimistic can you be? Only a Nigerian can be that optimistic.

Wherever we are from, from whatever part of this great country that we are from, whether we are from the North, the South-South, the South East, West, wherever, we have the same DNA. We love our country and this may not always be obvious, but you try insulting Nigeria if you are a foreigner and you will see our fierce and angry our reaction can be. A Nigerian can say the same thing, but if you’re a foreigner, don’t try it.

We love our food, we love our clothes, we love our merrymaking. We love to be successful and we love success. We are resilient, we are fair minded. Nigerians always fight for the underdog, we believe in justice and the rule of law, even though our system still can do much better. But we are by far one of the smartest and, perhaps, the most talented people on earth. And I don’t say that lightly.

In the US, Nigerians are the most educated ethnic group, not one of the most educated, but the most educated. Sixty per cent of Nigerians in the US, we are told, have college degrees. This is above the American average of 30%. And Nigerians in US are one of the highest income earners in the US, and I choose America as one example. Nigerians earn 25% more than the median US income.

The world’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world-renowned inventor, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian. This means Nigeria has the patent for the world’s fastest computer. The wealthiest black African, a Nigerian. Isn’t that a good thing? We are also told that the wealthiest black woman in the world is also a Nigerian. Who knows who the next wealthiest African would be here or the next wealthiest African?

A Nigerian family, The Imafidons, who live in the UK, have been officially been declared the smartest family in the UK, a family of about six children who have excelled in their academics in incredible ways. The designer of that famous car, Chevrolet Volt, is a guy called Jelani Aliyu, he now works for the Nigerian government; super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State. And for those who think that we are only giants in technology and business, Anthony Joshua is the world’s best heavyweight boxer, for those who watch boxing.

Everybody is dancing to Nigerian music, and our traditional attires, especially our women attires and headgears have conquered Africa. Even our male attire, there’s just something about the Nigerian swag. Whether they like it or not, we Nigerians are just exceptional, we are just different. Anywhere you go, you know a Nigerian, don’t you recognize a Nigerian when you see one? You can just tell. If you see anyone reading a book on How to become self-confident, know that he is not a Nigerian, we are born self-confident.

The reason why we are so optimistic is because we know that we are the best, we know we are going to excel, it may seem like it’s taking a while, and there are many problems, but every one of the over 1,000 days that I have been Vice President for, I grow stronger in my complete confidence that we are going to be the envy of the whole world in a few short years. Well, you might say that that is optimistic, why not, I am a Nigerian.

Happy Independence Day. God bless you all.

I am not the one inviting her. It's her cousin in US who invited her and plan to help her have a residential and work permit.

I have done my best in convincing her that she has a great future ahead of her in America, but she is adamant. Her defence is that she has great plans here in Nigeria.

I am here in Nigeria doing my little legitimate hustling.

Rubyventures:
You cant even answer a question

XaintJoel20:
Please how can I convince my girlfriend to accept an invitation to the USA.

Thanks

marylandcakes:
Of course now.

freecocoa:
This thread really makes me sad to the point I feel my eyes watering. Anyone trying to defend Nigeria by saying ‘it isn’t so bad’ is only lying to themself, a country where you can’t boast of complete 5 hours power supply in a day, what am I even saying? Some placed haven’t seen power in months, a country where people die for lack of police report for proper medical attention, a country where it’s leaders travel to other countries for medical care, a country where you have no emergency response unit for whatever, a country where you get laughed at for being duped or stolen from, heck! You get blamed and called a mugu for being a victim of a corrupt system, I feel very sad honestly especially today, and someone will telll me happy independence? May that independence kee you there, nonsense!

marylandcakes:
Just to let you guys know that I eventually used Tugrow to ship my bakery equipment and I collected them over the weekend. They were all intact and I will be happy to use Tugrow to ship my goods next time. Tugrow needs to improve on his communication with his clients and he knows this and I think he is trying to improve on this. I pray he gets there as communication is the key to any business in this day and age.

Bestattitude:
Hmmm. This one is surely above my comprehension.
