Former Daily Times MD, Akogun Tola Adeniyi Mourns Jimi Solanke

The news of the demise of Africa’s greatest and best stage actor of all time splashed on my face this morning ruined my breakfast.

Thespian, folk singer, Poet, playwright, dramatist, producer, director, choreographer, theatre teacher, painter, sculptor and guitarist etcetera.

Bundle of talents.

Africa has lost her greatest naturalist actor in the tradition of legendary Stanislavski.

Please accept our shared condolences.May his outstandingly creative soul march on in the Continuum.

High Chief Tola Adeniyi,

President, Tola Adeniyi Foundation for Theatre and the Arts. (TAFTA)
