The Yoruba Nollywood movies of recent lack the originality and creativity of those produced years ago. Today, you can easily predict the ending of a Yoruba movie from its title or by just watching a few scenes.
This has made many people yearn for the time past and interested in rewatching oldies epic movies with suspense that get you sitting at the edge of your chairs, scenes that make you drop tears unaware, and moral lessons that encourage good behaviours.
Whether you are tired of watching the new releases on YouTube or just want to rewatch an old Yoruba movie to enjoy some de javu of your childhood, below are some:
1. Ipadabo Abija
This movie surely gives some slang that is still in use till date. The phrase “Ipadajo Abija” is used today to warn an opponent to prepare and beware of one’s retaliation.
