When the late doyen of the stage, Hubert Ogunde, founded Ogunde Theatre, the first contemporary professional theatre company in Nigeria, in the mid 40s, he would have thought that the enthusiasm with which Nigerians embraced the genre would be a lasting phenomenon. However, the reverse has been the case. In fact, apart from some major cities such as Lagos, where live theatre performances are staged from time to time, stage performances seem almost non-existent in other parts of the country. Although most Nigerian youths still find theatre as an interesting course largely due to the influence of Nollywood, a large number of them end up going into other fields at the end of their study. -- #Goldmynetv #Goldmyne #VideoWheels #NigeriaMusic #NigeriaEntertainment #LiveShows #Wizkid #Ycee #Davido #PSquare #TiwaSavage #Flavour #Phyno
