Why I Can’t Go Back To School – Veteran Actor, Abija by MrGist: 6:16am On Feb 10, 2019 |
From; www.GistMore.com Veteran actor, Tajudeen Oyewole, popularly known as Abija, became famous in the Nigerian movie industry in the 80s and early 90s for his roles as herbalist in movies. However, fast forward to the present day and it seems the once vibrant actor’s name has been consigned to oblivion as he has not been as visible on the television screen as he used to be. In a chat with Saturday Beats, he said some people used to think he was an herbalist because of the roles he played in movies. “People often ask if I am an herbalist in real life because of my routine roles in movies, even though I have a background in Ifa divination, I am not an herbalist. People in my neighbourhood would call me Abija; they used to be scared of me in real life but I always told them I was not a diabolical and that it was just acting. My roles as Abija were my best performances; interestingly, I can handle any role in the movie industry. “When I don’t dress in my attire as Abija, some people don’t recognise me. It still pains me that I didn’t further my education; at this age even though I want to go back to school, it is too late because I have to cater for my wife and children. It was quite difficult for my parents to accept my choice of career; they felt it was only stubborn people that used to act in movies. They were only convinced when I started becoming famous. “I am happy about the positive developments in the movie industry; things have really improved compared to when I started. The youngsters in the entertainment industry have really helped in making the industry bright,” he said. He also added that the government should put more effort into combating piracy in the industry. “The government should help the movie industry because piracy has really affected its growth. If they can help, artisans will be able to get reasonable monetary value for their sweat. If the industry becomes more lucrative, when a colleague needs financial help, others would be able to render help. Presently, aside from acting, I travel to the North to get meat to sell to people that have made requests for it. “My wish this year is that I complete my building project. I have lost some things in the past, and I pray that God will recover them for me. For example, there was a time I was involved in an accident some years back, some people thought I was dead because of how damaged the car was,” he added.

This man was the bomb while I was growing up. I love his actions so much. Nothing last forever I guess. In few years time now we will also stop talking about Ronaldo and Messi. Seriously, this life is really meaningless. 51 Likes 3 Shares

Opa Aje Eyin iya mi osoronga! This actually brought back memories of yesteryears.... NTA started broadcasting at 4 pm, except on Saturdays @10 a.m with Sesame Street. Cockcrow at dawn The rich also cry Samanja Village Headmaster Omo araye le Checkmate Tales by moonlight The masquerade etc People genuinely cared and life had value. Armed robbery and ritual killings were few and far between. Power supply was stable. Naira has purchasing power. Nigeria was good. 66 Likes 7 Shares |

post=75582401: No matter what, one can still remain relevant. The Ronaldo you talked about could become a team manager tomorrow and still continue to be a stakeholder in world football, earning big, even when his strength is gone.. Though life is in phases, you can evolve with time as you upgrade. Besides it is not the strongest that survive in the animal kingdom, it is those that can quickly adapt to changes. 8 Likes |
