Apart from Tunde Kelani, Antar Laniyan,Tade Ogidan(not active anymore in yoruba genre),Tunji Bamishigbin,Mike Bamiloye,the late Yomi Ogunmola,which other yoruba director do you think is very good?
I don't really think that we're blessed with directors who can tell stories very effectively visually and i do wish Tade Ogidan will do more yoruba movies.
Please,let's have names.

Yinka Quadri apparently directs!!!!!!!! The guy still looks in the camera....Speaking of Mr Quadri, all his wardrobe people should be captured, tied up to iced sculptures, and have their legs dipped in boiling hot water while they get flogged by blind soldiers who think they're killing cows with horsewhip....

Yinka Quadri and Lanre Hassan, they're rich, they're showing up everywhere, yet they don't know that leather pants in Nigeria is a big NO NO. God it hurts me to see the way they dress. Light blue satin agbada with sequence. WHY ME???????!!!!!!!!! And their sunglasses. They make Igo l'oju omo odaran look like a good thing. I need to take them shopping and change their wardrobes man, SERIOUSLY

OUCH!

Late Funmi Martins

She did Eto Mi, and a bunch of others I can't remember, and Omoladun (pa suwe's other wife), she's an amazing director, I loved her work OBAKAN. AMAZING piece

Abbey Lanre, I guess Toyin Adegbola, Oga Bello.
Talk of yoruba films - they are cars without control. They all write, direct & feature.
Thank God Alade Aromire has got the gist & that singer who did maradonna years back.

@all: Didn't Abbey Lanre direct the movie "Akobi Gomina"? I thought the movie was alright.

I think WEMIMO PAUL ----( no Rival 1&2 and Oyato 1&2 ) and the director of K K K (kodun Kopo Kope) are very good directors (if not the best)

wasn't it also wemimo paul who directed tim ba ta ye wa? i'm not sure though but that's another nice film

Have you seen 'Mosope' (I rejoice) a new yoruba film directed by Dele Odule. It has a good storyline & well directed.
Worth watching & am sure few errors can be ignored - worth pointing out though for improvement.
