INTERVIEW WITH POPULAR YORUBA COMEDIAN , MASTER OF CEREMONY AND PRODUCER MR JAMES OLANREWAJU OMIYINKA (BABA IJESHA) WHO SPOKE TO US FROM THE LOCATION OF HIS NEW FILM IN LONDON.

The highly humble and religious comedian was at his best.
 

E.P:  How did you develop the interest for Comedy?

Ans: It is God, anyway one cannot develop the talent except through God, that is my calling right from my youthful days when  I talk, people like it, everything one does, it start from the beginning and that what God called me to  make people laugh.

E.P: Which film brought you to the time light?

Ans: Pertaining to that one, anyway when one get to the area of development, it is God that will open the door .we have seen somebody acting in 200 films, he starred in it without been noticed. It is people that I went through (don’t misunderstand me)  but it is God that used me it is God that show me to people (Viewers), so Glory be to God , it is him that showed me up even before I met you, it is written that I will meet you..

E.P:  Can you tell us some films you have taken part in?

Ans: For movies that I have been invited to appear in, it is many but for those I directed myself, we have “ArogboSogeri”, “Dangote”, “SoAgbadiwere”, “IyawoGbajumo” also the one I did with multichioce “Vigilante” I don’t struggle to appear in many films but at least the ones that are purposeful. If ones teeth are not more than two , it should be strong enough to be able to eat meat with. I used to think before writing my films “So Agbadiwere” taught people good lesson on morals and other Sundrys  lesson , I won an award with it. Likewise “ArugboSogeri” which make the marketer to give me good money three times after our agreed terms,  it is still selling Just like the film am currently producing  now  in London, which is why I am here titled “ JogunJogboun” even “Mr Jona” which is in English and Yoruba.      

E.P: How did you get the different endorsement that you are involved in like the trophy advert and others?

Ans: Entertainment Parrot, it is God, the endorsement was not my making, I didn’t fight for it, I didn’t even expect it but it is God and I thank Ojaja the 2 , The Onirisa of Ile ife his royal majesty Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi who is my brother even before he mounted the throne , I have known him. It is the Onirisa  I went to greet, there was a programme he did two years ago and it was at that performance that the brand manager of Trophy who ask me some of the works that I have done and gave me the trophy advert both on radio , on net and on Television.

E:P: Tell us why you decided to go the university to study?

Ans: I believe that it is not good for somebody not to go to school because I am from a struggling family. It is highly important to have a good education.  I am  at the university of Lagos and my course of study is creative arts , am in 400 level.  We are doing it gently and I enjoy the school and the environment like this country I am in. Now it is not my country, I enter Britain from Canada to spend my holiday and record my film, it is not my doing but it is God.

E.P: what is your message to your fans?

Ans: My message to my fans is that I will not disappoint them right, I promise to continue to behave well and for them to continue to give me the necessary support. Like if there are occasions where I could do the work of M.C for them or they want to advertise their products or services and in movies that I appear in for them to continue patronize me.

I promise I will not disappoint them, likewise I recommend this website www.entertainmentparrort.blogspot.com to arts lovers because I know the stuff you are made of. The website don’t gossip just interviews and event coverage.

Thank you, I remain Baba Ijesha .

The Most Versatile Comedian, God Bless You.
