Quadri and Femi Adebayo in Taoma’s skit

Adegbenro Adebanjo

It’s distasteful, aberrational and completely at variance with extant tradition of the depicted Race… It’s a poignant disrespect to the traditional institution of the Yoruba people. It is also Communicatively empty and didactically unsound . This is no longer comedy but burlesque of vilest variety.

You should not drive traffic to your page or social media handles or promote your film through ridiculing the reverred institutions of your people.

Certain things are sacred and should not be tainted with such profanity as depicted in that skit.

In the beginning I gave the duo the benefit of the doubt expecting that a third character would be introduced to issue a deafening slap to reset the brain of Quadri and with strong reprimand for his abhorrent disrespect, save the situation. But it never came

Drama , tragic or comic, must teach some lessons. But this taught nothing and the character got away with such terrible disrespect to the King without any reprimand or punishment or sanction.
This is grotesque skit in all ramifications and a desecration of one of the most important mores of the Yoruba people.

All is not fit for Skit making.
