Old Yoruba movies of the 1980s and 1990s were some of the best to have ever been made. Some of these movies got us yearning for more while others scared the wits out of us. They always have a way of catching up with emotions, dragging us to a state of total emotional blackmail. Watching these movies<\/a> gives you the opportunity to still see legendary actors like Elesho, Alaran, Lukuluku Bantashi, Ojoge, and Opebe.<\/p>\n Compared to recent movies, Yoruba movies of the 1980s and 1990s were more low-budget movies. This is because of its video quality and sound production. But despite their low quality, they still project good concepts and nice scripts.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In Aiye<\/em>, Balogun turned a stage production of one of Hubert Ogunde’s popular shows into a major motion picture. The movie’s subject was a traditional narrative of good vs evil. The good characters were traditional priests (Babalawo) while the evil characters were the local witches.<\/p>\n Aiye, which featured several Yoruba<\/a> stage performers and some Black Goddess technical team, was a commercial success. However, much like Ija Ominira, Balogun,<\/span> and Hubert Ogunde, the principal actors and co-producers, had some issues regarding the film’s direction.<\/p>\n The film is a remake of a stage drama that was initially broadcast in 1964. The movie projected problems associated with polygamy.<\/p>\n The Ode-Nla festival is the most well-known festivity in this town. It was tradition for the king to select a new wife during this time. ABORE, PAMIPAMI, and ERELU were notable Chiefs<\/span> in this town. Erelu was the town’s sole female Chief<\/span>. Pamipami and Abore disliked the monarch because he was honest and compassionate. He also refused to let the chiefs or anybody else deceive him.<\/p>\n The monarch would go on to wed a lady named Efuntajobo during one of these Ode-Nla festivities. Efuntajobo’s senior brother, Ogundare, had a companion named Omisore. Two people plotted against Efuntajobo, throwing her child in the river. Mysteriously, the baby boy found his way back to the mother.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The movie focused on\u00a0a chief priest named Osetura who resided in a hamlet. He was the village’s religious, traditional, and political leader. This leader is perpetually at odds with witches, wherever and whenever he finds them. He vanquished them after a particularly brutal struggle, and his community was at peace.<\/p>\n However, unbeknownst to him, the witches’ leader, Iya Dudu, did not perish with the rest when they attempted to call on the ghost of OSETURA. Iya Dudu escaped unharmed and returned home to find a new cult that uses cats to operate.<\/p>\n Osetura, the immortal High Priest, felt he had vanquished and exterminated all the witches, symbolizing the forces of evil, off the face of the planet, believing himself to be the one mediator between man and his maker.<\/p>\n One of them, the Black Witch, the most lethal and wicked agent of death on earth, plunged into the burning flames surrounding Satan and requested more formidable weapons to conquer Osetura. She was assigned the dreaded ‘<\/span>Feared Bird of Darkness.‘<\/span><\/p>\n OSETURA realized it was time to act to preserve the village from bodily and spiritual death. He realized it was time for someone like him to act in order to demonstrate that God is God. He seized the power that he would only use at the least possible time. And this was the final chance.<\/p>\n Ajani Ogun is a movie that tells the story of a teenage Hunter who battles a nasty and corrupt politician. When Ajani’s father passed away, the latter plundered his family’s land with the aid of some corrupt public workers.<\/p>\n Jumoke would rather marry a carefree and irresponsible Ayo than a wealthy old businessman. In a rash act, Ayo impregnates an underage Adunni. They’ve been hurriedly bundled into a disastrous marriage. When Jumoke finds out about the state of affairs, she is taken aback. Shock leads to bewilderment, confusion leads to melancholy, and Jumoke ends up wandering the streets like a mad person.<\/p>\nOldest Yoruba Movies of the 1980s<\/strong><\/h2>\n
