Stage plays were being captured on camcorders and sold in bookshops, similar to how gospel sermons were distributed. He stated that the practice was pioneered by the likes of Muhideen Alade Aromire, who recorded classics like Ekun in 1989.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214032\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214032\" style=\"width: 552px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-214032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7964.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7964.jpeg 552w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7964-298x300.jpeg 298w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7964-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yemi Solade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>We have been doing it.

He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAgreed, most of them weren\u2019t schooled and they didn\u2019t have access to media. But they were doing the act while others were romancing the media.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yemi Solade further mentioned that respected industry elders like Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello), Iya Rainbow and Jide Kosoko are living witnesses who can back up these claims, noting that many Yoruba actors have been active for over 60 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On his own journey, the actor revealed that he began acting before Pete Edochie, even though the latter is older.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>\u201cI was 17 in 1977 when I represented Nigeria at Festac \u201977 as the youngest actor. I\u2019ve done 48 years and I\u2019m still standing,\u201d<\/em> he declared proudly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While Living in Bondage undeniably ushered in the commercial explosion of Nollywood and helped coin the term, film historians have long noted that Yoruba home videos like Soso Meji (1988) by Ade Ajiboye and Ekun (1989) by Aromire predated it. These productions were simply overshadowed due to lack of publicity, structure, and archival support.
