These are the people that really suffered for theatre and nollywood that the present ones are enjoying. The passion was the force that pushed them , not money and fame that is making some people join nollywood now, May his soul continue to rest in peace.
Wao, Baba Duro Ladipo is A Genius👼; even as at then, he could speak good English, and also in control of Yoruba language & literature; A Great man indeed; 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍..........
kunle adedotun He was actually a teacher, before he finally retired to pursue his passion; acting. Try to watch his living lovely wife Moremi's interview. He was indeed a legend......
Yea i totally agree that he was a great man you can imagine how fluent he was, it's a pity i wasn't born then😄, may his soul continue to rest in peace.
The play "Oba Koso" was aired on NTV Ibadan, now NTA Ibadan in the late 70s, between 1976-1979. Many other great plays were often aired then. I'm not sure those tapes were preserved. You can imagine this documentary was not done by Nigerians. Yet we can do it. We must keep records. Thanks for uploading. This made my day!
Those are the days when theater group were being joined for the love and passion for it not to show off or feel among like it's been done nowadays, this is so informative and interesting God bless the publisher.
Great memories. Almost brought tears to my eyes. I cant only recognise Mama Abiodun Ladipo (Moremi) and Lere Paimo (Eda onile ola|). God bless the souls of the departed
Although I was too young then to know and appreciate this great man's work, nonetheless, watching this documentary really demonstrates what a great talent this man was. Above all, I so much like his diction and his good command of English language. May God continue to uphold his entire household and all what he has left behind.
Wow👏👏👏may the souls of all the departed rest in peace. Papa Ogunde, Papa Duro Ladipo, Papa Oyinadejobi and all other beautiful and dedicated souls who brought African Theatre to our enjoyment doors, RIP to all.
My grandma danced for ogunde group back then. She told me how supernatural this legends are. Pa ogunde, duro ladipo, oyin adejobi, Jimoh aliyu and more
Pa. Duro Ladipo, one of the founding fathers of entertainment industries in Nigeria. I found this very educative and lovely Yoruba cultural values inside. Goose pumps all over me watching this and making me remember my primary school days. This things still aired so well on NTA Ibadan in the 80s and early 90s.
Instead of focusing on the wonderful innovation and creativity of the man my fellow country men are talking about his good command of borrowed English language. He was just speaking English for the audience the video was supposed to serve. Back then people were proud of who they are. We are not talking about the originality his art is trying to portray even after being brainwashed in the church he went back to his roots and preserved masterpieces for generations to come. He didn't call yoruba a tribe like we demean ourselves today and both men and women maintained their natural beautiful looks that most of us are ashamed today.
@@user-rx4ze1hy7r I'll be more concerned with a good command of our African language as Africans. In China nobody will care about about your good command of igbo or yoruba.
Religionism apart; in facts, We the Youths of today's have missed a lot. We have no knowledge of Cultures, traditions and heritages as well and We are proclaiming to be the Leaders of tommorow. What have We inheritance? Please Let's all support the creation of Oduduwa Nation. A word is enough for the wise. Yoruba ronu oo!
Oh, ma God! Did anyone noticed that Pa, Pa Eda Onile Ola, he seems very young here. I saw him one time on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Nigeria, God bless him and his old age.
If we say ,,,gone are the days, shall we also say ,,gone were the people's of those days ? If they tried their best and gone,,,what happened to the legacy's behind? We should simply remembered them to continue from where they retired on our cultures. Every cultures are important but you just need to promote yours if you believed that. Thanks to all our Yoruba heroes past, we shall never forget them.
You are indeed a great person. You found this priceless piece and shared with the public, I admire you. I wish you knew how much I appreciate you for this because I have heard a lot of great things about Duro Ladipipo but had no opportunity to actually see any of his plays until now. Such an epic piece.
As I always say that History of the pasts are always some lessons to learn and bear in mind for the future generation to come and be aware for the next generation!!! Sule Shangodoyin.
Just watching what an icon of the yoruba nation i pray almighty Allah grant him aljannah fidau rest in peace omo oduduwa rere Baba Duro ladipo awa omo oduduwa imole adulawo ni wa a o si de ile ileri from the contraption called Nigeria a failed country.
Yet, he didn't stop speaking his own Yoruba Language to attain this feat. I think our parent of nowadays have really done alot of damage to our education this time around that even after been forbade to speak our own native language, we still can't attain such feat anymore!
Aliu Salaudeen it is the same even with the Hollywood sir, I guess we've seen it all. It seems we've all ran out of stories to tell,...and nothing is new under the sun no more. Bless up sir.
Olajide Okuneye oh, thank you! Thank you very much. U left this message since 2 months ago and am just seeing it now, funny. Yes, I am very much proud of my own, my and my Yoruba people. Love the people, culture, tradition, names, food, the way of life and everything. I just love being Yoruba too, can't trade it for the world, bless you sir, thanks once more.
Mo gbe de and its producers and the interviewers... a hertfelt thank you for all these fantastic videos and interviews! This is awesome. I learnt a great deal by just watching your program. Many wrongs have been rectified and shed new lights on most and many confusing innuendos. The facts are there and present in plain simple terms - by the actors themselves. Kudos!! E seun gidi-gidi...
This a real theater , and a solid stage performance, not the one out there we are watching , in actual fact % 80 of nowadays, Nollywood actors and actresses cannot do a stage performance except room to room.
I was expecting to see mama awero, iya rainbow, pa aluwe, oga Belo and prince jide kosoko which I believe they are part of the group. May be they were too young or they have not join the group by then. What an epic documentary
These are the people that really suffered for theatre and nollywood that the present ones are enjoying. The passion was the force that pushed them , not money and fame that is making some people join nollywood now, May his soul continue to rest in peace.
Not yibo bastard
The man is just legendary!
TRUE 💯
Lack of good governance in Nigeria ruined many talents and industries.
Wao, Baba Duro Ladipo is A Genius👼; even as at then, he could speak good English, and also in control of Yoruba language & literature; A Great man indeed; 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍..........

Great memories. Almost brought tears to my eyes. I cant only recognise Mama Abiodun Ladipo (Moremi) and Lere Paimo (Eda onile ola|). God bless the souls of the departed
Epic, detailed and priceless... Pa Duro still is, a legend

😊he was a teacher at some point

Nigerian and specifically Yoruba. Africa is a continent not a country
Good diction! A brilliant thespian with selfless love for his craft...
My grandma danced for ogunde group back then. She told me how supernatural this legends are.
Pa ogunde, duro ladipo, oyin adejobi, Jimoh aliyu and more
Is she still alive?

The best and most honest comment here. May Edumare continue to preserve and protect us ase o. Oba Koso! Oduduwa Nation.
He referred to Yoruba as a ' Yoruba country'
The good command of English can't be overlooked

Yes! I saw him on the stage he was so young then.
Sk segun yeah, and very handsome too. Thank you sir.
Yeah he's the one that leads the song back stage.

Gregory Edobor Eweka isn't just sir, isn't it just awesome! I take my hat off to this sir, he did so very well, God bless him, and all of us.

This a real theater , and a solid stage performance, not the one out there we are watching , in actual fact % 80 of nowadays, Nollywood actors and actresses cannot do a stage performance except room to room.
😂😂😂😂
...way before Nollywood was born.
...and will still be more relevant way after "Nollywood is gone"
Àṣà, Ise àti èdè wa ni ile Yoruba ko ni parun o.
That was a really interesting documentary.
Respect for Duro.....
Whao, who else saw baba Lere paimo as a young man dancing on stage ...
Legend
Duro Ladipo the Great (R.I.P. Baba Oshogbo)
May his soul rest in peace
Insightful!
I was expecting to see mama awero, iya rainbow, pa aluwe, oga Belo and prince jide kosoko which I believe they are part of the group. May be they were too young or they have not join the group by then. What an epic documentary
They were in Ojo Ladipo group not Duro Ladipo.
so great congratulations
did anyone see lere paimo eda wow he looks so young
The continued mentioning of the ‘ Yoruba country’ . We Yoruba are a country in a country 😢
I sight very young eda onile ola at the end of the video
Isn't that yemi my lover on top of the vehicle.. Wow
Nope.
father of theater art
Wow
Is Duro Ladipo the grand-father of Kemen?
A Cute App.
He said Yoruba country which means Yoruba was once a country
Waooo image Baba Lare Paimo back them
27:40 Eda onile ola, Chief Lere Paimo MFR
Iya caused the death of Sango. Though it was historical of Yoruba and women's life that shows woman cannot stand interm of problem.
Oya caused the death of Sango for frustrating him by her decision to left him alone
ladipo. lagos
