I like how pieces of Yoruba and Nigerian history were kept for us the new and the coming generations.

[@edumarekoredesulaimon8410]

This eloquence is top notch.. I salute

[@gbengaadeniyi]

This my Lord Almighty is a wonderful God, I vividly remember this show ( Aropinteniyan), in 1974 or 1975 with my Late Father, Theophilious Aderibigbe Alimi Adeniyi who was a Customs officer and my mother. He took me along with them to watch the film. The image is still very fresh in my memory, and I can remember when chin-chin & biscuit ware sprayed to the crowed, how all of us rushing to pick one. An interesting stage performance.

I don't know what happened to our Educational sector, Nigerians in the past with just High school certificates spoke great English than most graduates in our generation, Education was top notch then.

[@missyadams]

Olu Jacobs narrated this documentary very well

[@modinatshobajo2526]

Chief Hubert Ogunde,u will forever be missed

[@olubal]

He can never be replaced the grandfather of theatre

[@wilsonakingbade641]

Father of theater in Nigeria, you have done so well

[@ayoolaadedayo8414]

This man should be remembered and celebrated

[@adebowalebabalola3570]

What a man. I didn't realize he was this eloquent. So creative.

[@bofloa]

He was a teacher before he went to acting....what you expected

[@BabyJoyous58]

During his time, standard of education in Nigeria was at highest level. Chief Ogunde only completed "primary 6" education (in his own word). Unlike nowadays when even some university degree holders find it difficult to construct their sentences correctly.

[@stevenwilliams2193]

My father only completed form 3 in CMS grammer sch Lagos. I have not seen a graduate that speaks like him.

[@abayomikadebanjo4362]

To me I do realised that Late Dr. Chief Hubert Ogunde was a multi-talented Artist, who displayed more that theater artist. God blessed him.

[@adesuaolanrewaju752]

God bless you for saying this. Too dynamic. Men who are acting those days are extra brilliant. Check late Adeyemi Afolayan or Ishola ogunshola including Moses Adejumo all of them were multi talented,some sings very well while some dance like no man business.

[@taiwomariam8832]

Am happy that I watch it because am just hearing this name rest in perfect peace pa ogunde

[@abayomiaiyepola6598]

His biographer Prof Ebun Clark, wife of Prof J.P Clark.

[@olanrewajul]

This is very inspiring and brought memories of growing up with my sibblings. We always looked forward to his movies in the theatres. Continue to rest in peace Pa Ogunde.

[@cuddlescutiesinc.1549]

Beautiful documentary

[@okoronkwojohn1319]

WOW... everything about this documentary is awesome.

[@olawuyiolaitan2074]

Thanks Richard for sharing. It was very informative . I was a young boy then when Aye. Aropin te ni yan and co were released. Ogunde was a theatre colossus of his time.

[@waleajayi-owoeye7137]

So blessed to watch this... History lessons that inspire indeed

[@masteradewale1132]

Late Hubert Ogunde was a Legend indeed. Continue to rest in peace Baba.

[@ayoolaadedayo8414]

So, this man started what everyone is enjoying today. What a stage play

[@missyadams]

He modernised Nigerian Theatre

[@oyewalesaheedakintunde8641]

Whaooo to me I didn't know he was educated like that, I was very young when my dad do take me to senima to watch his movies.

[@goldsmith2461]

There was indeed a country and theatre

[@missyadams]

I am a student of Creative Arts, according to one of our courses, Ogunde modernised Nigerian Theatre.

[@alausatresure4832]

PA Hubert ogunde very intelligent man

[@victorojo5967]

He was an Alien. ..Supa dupa Genius...

[@rotimidaniels8637]

So Chief Ogunde was highly educated! May his soul rest in peace.

[@kennyola-alabi3161]

We usually mistake intelligence for higher education. The man only had standard six level education. He was self-trained..

[@SuperMethod123]

I don't know what happened to our Educational sector, Nigerians in the past with just High school certificates spoke great English than most graduates in our generation, Education was top notch then.

[@seuna.8438]

From the interview, he had just primary education. English is just language not a measure of intelligence. Baba Ogunde was very intelligent and also fluent in the English language. The standard of education then was really great. Our stupid leaders that enjoyed such great education destroyed our present education system.

[@ejejejeje4854]

Very interesting

[@ejejejeje4854]

His a great African hero

[@gehtdichnichtsangooglii4840]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@folasadefawale3460]

2019🤤😥😥😥😥😥 God

[@aghonelego2379]

HE WAS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF HIS WOMEN. THE FIRST WIFE CALLED IYALE MANAGED ALL THE OTHER WIVES. YORUBA WOMEN ARE PRICELESS.

[@abayomiaiyepola6598]

[@ejejejeje4854]
