R.I.P: Veteran actor Adebayo Faleti is NOT dead



When I first heard about it I know it won’t be true, not that he’s immortal, but my mind not just believing it to be true. Actor Adebayo Faleti is NOT dead. The 83 year old is well-known Nigerian poet, writer and actor. He is also known for being a successful Yoruba translator, a broadcaster, TV exponent and a pioneer of the first television station in Africa, Western Nigeria Television (WNTV). He was also responsible for translating Nigeria’s National Anthem from English to Yoruba. Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association Of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Oyo State chapter, has dismissed the report as false. This was confirmed in a broadcast message sent by Yeye Rose Odika( Chairperson, TAMPAN Oyo State), Baba Adebayo Akande Faleti Ode Ababa is at his Ojoo residence(in Ibadan)
