Nigeria loses one of the greatest pioneers of our film industry, Francis Oladele

By

He was a pioneer of the Nigerian film industry and I am sure some of you have probably never heard about him. Francis Oladele passed away this morning June 22nd after a brief illness. He was 82.

He established his film company Calpenny-Nigeria Films Limited, in 1965 and produced his first movie, Kongi’s Harvest, based on Wole Soyinka’s dramatic epic of the same title in 1970. He did a lot for our film industry. Read him up on Google. May his soul rest in peace, amen.

I thought keeping his pics and videos private would allow him to have a more normal life but apparently that didn't really work. There are photos posted of him everywhere besides my account." 'So here u go World! Enjoy my lil smart guy on his Mommy's Page as well #SebastianTaylorThomaz,' she added
