Yeah, he was Mr Titus.

He acted as "Dr" Bassey Okon on the original Village Headmaster series (he owned the pharmacy and Boniface was his assistant) in the 1960s, '70s and early '80s.

He was Mr. Adio in Adio Family in the 1970s (Rosemary Anieze-Adams acted as his wife).

He also acted as the MD on The Turning Wheel on OGTV in the 1980s (Enebeli Elebuwa played the part of Inspector Ben Alamu).

He was Mr Titus on Story Story.

And he acted as Fred Ade-Williams' doctor in Tinsel on MNET.

He had perfect diction.

Was Jab Adu in Tinsel ? I doubt it. Too old for that. I think they look alike.

He was in Tinsel. He was Fred Ade Williams' doctor when Fred suffered a stroke back in 2010 (his name was also in the end credits).

Good riddance

Re: Joseph Babatunde-Adu, 'Jab Adu', Is Dead by Nobody: 10:48pm On Feb 29, 2016

I remember him from his acting on village headmaster and the adio family(NTA 10 used to show the programme every friday evening at 5pm.
As a student, i remember that his home was not too far from mine in Abeokuta. The grail message building was just next to his.
Actors like these are rare in this days of stereotypes and mediocrity.
This man was just as good an actor as Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando and those old greats.
Rest in peace Baba

mapet:
I can hazard a guess that over 70 % of the NL crew don't know him...i.e. he'd been around decades before they were born

He was on BBC Media Action's radio drama, 'Story Story - Voices from the market' playing the role of Oga Titus. The show had been airing on Nigeria radio stations nationwide for over a decade.

Circa 2007, he acted as Samuel in Wetin Dey TV series that aired on NTA network.

By the way, I'm trying to remember - is he not the one who 'tells the story' on Grail Movement shows

Anyone who can confirm

Oh, 'My name is Bassey Okon' is gone!
The boss of 'Bonifaci, boninose, bonimouth,' according to 'Okoro' in Village Headmaster.
Watched all that some time ago. Yeah, he had near perfect diction.
So sad though that he remained in that ' grail movement'. Wished he believed in the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ before leaving the world.

Bump.

The iconic Jab Adu's biological son, Rotimi Sankore (a popular journalist and Economic Development expert who reeled accurate stats off his head) also passed on just today while his treating his prostate cancer illness.

Both of them were indeed very brilliant men.
