Compared with him, Ola Balogun, also of his generation, is very simplistic. His movies are not mass products though and often sponsored from outside Naija based on some message - often medical (AIDS, what have you). I respect him a lot. Very intelligent and sensitive egbon in the business.
I totally agree. I think I've seen Eewo, does it have Kanran or Gbenga Adewusi in it? Is Mr. Ladebo really old? and does anyone know if he plans on making anymore movies?
