One of the fascinating stories about Baba ws that he transitioned from being a Non Academic staff to academic in Obafemi Awolowo University by getting admission to study Dramatic Arts- and, I think, his son was even a year ahead of him.
He became a lecturer & rose to the very pinnacle of his academic career.
Those who have never seen him on stage didn't see the best of him. Cameras did not do him enough justice.
He played Kabiyesi in Soyinka's DEATH & THE KING'S HORSEMAN at a command performance in Oduduwa hall & someone missed his lines. He didn't even skip the expression on his face to recover to get the dialogue back in.
A worthy Ife Alumnus, a consummate thespian & a man of culture.
E Sun re o, Baba.
