What about a Bini series shown on NTA Lagos? I so loved their native costumes. Not sure if it was Ovorahmen, not sure

What about the Yoruba ones? Feyikogbon nko? What about the one that had Abeni (The popular Fausat Balogun aka Madam Saje) and Ojo- Can't remember the name of the series

Adekanmbi story nko?

The only "ABIKU" i can recall is the "Omol'okun" character in the Yemi Elebu-ibon's "Ifa olokun asoro dayo" series. He was the mischievious sole surviving son (of omotara?) whose mother doted on him, and this over-indulgence spelt doom for the mother or something along that line.

The other Yoruba ones not yet mentioned are Jimoh Aliu's Arelu, and Yanpon-Yanrin. Those two had Fadeyi oloro, orisabunmi etc, and some weird deformed beings- reke-reke(midget with deformed legs) and one other one.

There was also "Omo araye le" by ola omonitan.

Can anyone recall the series by the late "I-show-pepper"? His family carried on after his death, but it was never the same.

There was also this one that had a character called "Aya Matanga" a plus size femme fatale whose mission was to seduce ministers of God, and bring about their downfall. It was produced by a christian ministry/mission at the time. I cannot recall the title of the series, but the lead characters stand out.

All these people just die without getting proper recognition for what they've done. At the end of the day, iwhat becomes of the privacy they had to sacrife to entertain the public? Reading this below made me feel sorry for Joe Adekwagh (Tanko in Wind of Destiny)

My Background
I was born in Gboko, Benue State. After the civil war, my father was sent to Bauchi at the 143 Battalion, I moved with him including my mother. That’s where I did my primary school, secondary school and I started working in 1984, at the cultural centre. I was sent to go and do a course in Cultural Studies; I completed the course and went back to Bauchi where I worked as a trainee DJ. Later, when the late Chief Hubert Ogunde visited the state to audition the first set of artistes into the National Troupe, I participated and I was taken.

I found myself in the National Troupe of Nigeria. While I was there, I was able to travel to so many countries to represent Nigeria. In 1996 my contract expired. I was to go back to Bauchi where I came from. Then, I discovered that my worldview had expanded, my horizon wider, and by then I have bought two cars. Then, I asked myself, how do I fuel this two cars? How do I keep this lifestyle going? What will they pay me in Bauchi? So, I decided to stay in Lagos. I worked with a few publicity firms and production outfits and as God is always on the throne, I was called back to The National Troupe as a marketing officer in year 2001. From there, I moved on to become the stage manager.

Nollywood is my game plan
I started acting on TV immediately I arrived in Lagos but to have a breakthrough in Lagos became so difficult being an Hausa actor. Until one day as fate would have it through my activities as NANTAP chairman Lagos chapter, one lady Benny whose husband was our member and was very ill came to me to help raise funds to treat her husband. In the course of doing this, we got to know ourselves better, she was with the NTA then. It was she that helped me to feature in Road to Destiny. Tanko was the role I played and it became a household name. After that, I did a couple of films, soaps, and documentaries.
