OGA BELLO CELEBRATES 50 YEARS ON STAGE

Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello, is a veteran in the movie industry in Nigeria having spent over two decades as an actor.

As such, the renowned actor is going the extra mile to celebrate his 50 years on stage later in the year.

Oga Bello, whose son, Femi Adebayo, is also a talented actor, said his style of celebration to mark this milestone, would be different from the norm.

“I want to celebrate this milestone by staging a play, Oloko Oba. We want to bring the old actors back. The play would feature the likes of Yinka Quadri, Muyiwa Ademola and others,” he said.

Salami hinted that he would use the ceremony to resuscitate the stage acting, which is almost dead in the country.

“Stage plays will be revived again. We have made plans with the National Theatre, Lagos. At least once in a month, there will always be a stage play in the theatre. We really want to bring back to life that genre of art,” he said.

Salami also said that a compilation of his 12 movies would be unveiled during the ceremony.
