Loud music is the only reason house chores get done for me. Once the beat drops, even mopping becomes a music video. And driving without music? God forbid. That one feels like punishment with extra steps. I don’t know how people sit in traffic with only their thoughts.

Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo
Farewell, Oba Lapite
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Kola Oyewo—scholar, actor, teacher, cultural ambassador, and dear colleague.
I had the privilege of working with him on Koseegbe, Oleku and Saworoide where he gave a memorable performance as Oba Lapite. His portrayal brought depth, dignity, and humanity to the role, making the character one of the film’s most enduring figures.
Ironically, Lapite’s death in the story created a challenge for me as a filmmaker. Once he was publicly executed by Lagata, I could not bring Kola Oyewo back into the narrative. I missed him then.
Today, I miss him again.
Kola Oyewo belonged to a rare generation that successfully bridged scholarship and performance. He inspired countless students, actors, and audiences through his talent, humility, and lifelong commitment to learning, culture, theatre and film.
Nigeria has lost a remarkable artist.
Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo.
Farewell, Oba Lapite.
Your legacy will endure in the stories you told and the lives you touched.

Attending OAU Ile-Ife in the 00s brought me into proximity with Yoruba Nollywood stars. You could saunter into CC and find Peter Fatomilola mulling over a beer. Or Tunde Ojeyemi walking out of the staff club. Or the pleasant-mannered Kola Oyewo near Pit Theatre. Really sad to hear of his passing. Incredible actor. He gave the performance of his lifetime as the incorruptible civil servant, Mr Mako, in Koseegbe. His next best, imo, is as the corrupt king Lapite in Saworoide, also a Tunde Kelani film. These two films are serious political satires of post-colonial societies in Nigeria. Oyewo acted as both a conflicted hero in Koseegbe and a venal royalty in Saworoide, showing incredible range. May his soul rest in peace.
