Since he took on the role of ‘Oga Bello’ in ‘Comedy Half Hour’, the appellation has stuck to Adebayo Salami like a barnacle. The name, many have argued, is perhaps more prominent than the birth name of the veteran thespian.
After over half a century of sustained relevance in the fickle world of make-believe, Salami would be roundly celebrated if he chooses to hang up his boots, but the actor insists that will only happen when he can no longer swallow a morsel of Nigerian staple, eba.
