I have watched this film over and over again! Sometimes it feels so palpable as if Ajani and Asake were going to jump out of the film 😁 and start living.I have a slightly similar story .when I was going to marry my husband my mum was so much against the relationship promised to disown me if I did reported me to everyone she could possibly did . But I was more stubborn than Asake 😂 I just gained admission then and my husband lived in England but I have met him during his national service before he travelled .I have never loved any man cos I was in my final class in secondary school when I met him and he was a young graduate too.Glory to God we have been married for 14 years now our love blossoms everyday as in we are newly married. There are some people who are meant to be if you stop the plan their lives can never remain the same anymore. It's a great lesson to always hold on to your dreams and aspirations no matter what. My mum will often say that I am grateful to God that you refused to listen to me then
I wish I can say otherwise, my parents were against my relationship, I was adamant but the *guy* messed up badly. My life has never been the same, still hoping to meet my *second love* if it really exist. Happy for you girl and continue to enjoy your marriage... it was meant to be.❤
You are right. But generally, the whole world has completely changed. No country remains the same again. There is hatred, insecurity and conflict everywhere--we are already fighting the Third World War but we are not aware. Only God can make things right.
Im Ghanaian by birth even tho my grandpa from my dad's side is Yoruba...I saw a scene from this movie on Twitter n here I'm watching. I love Mama Africa ❤
Tunde Kelani must surely be one of the best movie makers in Nigeria. This is the 3rd movie I have watched in the space of 24hrs and Oleku leaves me wanting more Kelani movies. If you'd like to get to know Nigeria and the true Yoruba culture, I recommend Tunde's films. I come from a very poor home and Oleku brought the picture to me all over again just as it was in the 70s. I love you man!
I can't tell how many times I have watched this film, yet I always shed tears at the end of it. The best love story I have ever watched. I must carry out a significant project on this story. May the memory of Prof. Akinwumi Isola be a blessing to us all; and God bless Tunde Kelani.
Honestly I felt for Ajani and Asake but was a bit comforted that Ajani didn't die in the movie as compared to the Novel. God rest Prof Akinwumi Isola and bless Sir TK
This movie is evergreen 🥰 . Beautiful story line with deep Yoruba culture well displayed. Watching again with great understanding now in 2024, hopeful to watch again by 2034 with my wife and children 😊. Kudos elders for this masterpiece. 👏👍
Amazing classic, I first watched in 1998/1999 and two decades later, I still come back to watch. My favourite is Lola due to her taking chances but then getting disappointed by Ajani. Asake will have been ideal but she got brainwashed by her father. Sade came across as innocent and I think Ajani chose her because she was the least of the three that gave him grief. Brilliant storyline, acting, as well as lovely vintage fashion. 😊👍🏾
Asake has always been my best. I watched this movie a long time ago 1997. Nice to see it again. Thanks for uploading it. This is a great Yoruba movie of all time. "Ogidi yoruba" Not the kind that are spoken these days.
This movie is nothing short of excellence! intriguing story, wonderful cast, and excellent production. How can I not be proud of my people ? Our Yoruba culture and language that we so take for granted once received breathtaking ratings by visiting westerners long ago. Alagba Tunde Kelani, a true Yoruba son, eku ise opolo o. May the good LORD continue to uphold you. Ase (Amen). n.b. My family bought and really enjoyed the Oleku 1 & 2 when newly released back then.
Weldone Sir! I have been watching the oldies recently, can't just stop watching them because they taught more lessons than the new schools... This particular teaches varieties of lessons, e.g the power of love, parent not to dictate for their wards/children, morals, contentment etc. Thanks Daddy Tunde Kelani
I watched this movie when i was 5 or 6. It wasn't until watching it again today that i realised that so much of it is etched in my memory. Especially the soundtracks...reminiscing much. It exudes great art and culture Awesome work!
Shade is my favourite. Very calculative, focussed and knew how to achieve her objectives with excellent strategies while Lola was arrogant and pompous. Meanwhile, Asake was conservative, well cultured but couldnt match Shade's strategic plans. Thanks that the last part of the play was rewritten. Imagining the death of Ajani was a night mare but thanks to TK for the change in the scene. Very excellent.
Imagine this is the first time to finish watching this movie since 1999,i don't have d opportunity to watch it. Thanks to the internet. So proud to be omo Yoruba atata
i can watch dis movies over and over again........its so real and the story lines have depth and content, not the rubbish we see dis days......more power to your elbows sir.....african culture well preserved
An epic Yoruba movie, full of suspense, hilarious, tactical & comical. The storyline is accurate & it is meant for those who knows how to play their game, i.e Shade! Asake was my favourite but brainwashed by her father. Lola somehow aggressive. Shade drew a strategic plan & she was lucky. Kudos to TK. Ajani i throw away salute
Yoruba people have almost missed the opportunity to hold on to the good part of their culture and let go the undesirable ones. Adultrated foreing cultures, religions, and lack of functional education have played major roles in this dilemma. Thanks for the upload of this ever-green chartbuster.
Kudos to TK for this excellent film. I must not disclose how many times I'v watched this film, or else, TK will sue me for over-watching. For example, during Xmas holiday, I watched it six times per day. It is the most effective anti-depression "tonic" for me here in South Africa.

The thing about Ajani is that he is so smooth. Not Afraid of anything. I dont have the quarter of his boldness. He is so brave. Who brings all his girlfriends to the same party speak more where he is the host. Great movieeeeee. Thumbs up Mr Kelani.
I still have the original VHS of this film that I bought when it first came out; it is one of my old Yoruba Film collections. I later converted it to VCD. Once I start watching it, I always watch it full 1&2.
what a lovely film,a film to be remembered always.the end scene almost made me shed tears before i came to realize i just watched oleku........oleku looooto....films like this will always make memory linger.eku ise opolo oooo..more power to your elbow sir
I just can't stop watching this movie, I'm addicted to all round perfection, the crew,the cast and everybody involved were wonderful, amazing and awesome.
Oleku is a movie that some men really need to learn from, Ajani seems to be a responsible man among the 3 of them, he never put any one down in front of each other and also cares equally. destiny is the master of everything
infact i love this movie and all the yoruba conversation plus the culture and yoruba is the must culture tribe in 9ja.it make's me remember my primary school and my old shool friend pls continual with this and let our childreds know's our culture thanks sir
I sooo love this movie It’s entertaining Educating Realistic too I feel so sorry for Asake 😢 their love is true Sometimes our parents can be too strict Especially father hmmmmmmm Ajani friends are true ones, gone are those days when friends have true value
Asake is my favourite..when I watched this movie back in 1997, I thought when I grow up am going to get married to Asake. I so much love her and always wish to meet her someday..much love Mr TK
It’s an epic movie, I have been watching this movie it’s first sales and I watch it at least 3 to 4 times each year, my kids are growing up right here in America but I want them to watch with me to know how peaceful and loving Nigeria used to be.
i could remember when growing up in the earlt 90s that the elder brothers in my neighborhood memorised the toasting part and eventually used it to toast ladies...
It's a tough one: they were different ladies with different characters that Ajani saw in them: Asake was the first love (homely and wife worthy), Lola was the distraction (good girl but in his 'class'), Sade was the young girl (naive and fresh) they had different characters. I feel Asake suffered the most though. If not for her father's dubious way she would have persevered and married Ajani.
I am very happy that the world can agree with me that he is truly a great man becoz since 90s in fectac town I discovered his dedication to movie productions. You are a great man Sir
I only got to know about this film 2 years ago and can bet no one has watched it more than me 😁 I've watched this movie more than 2000 times Cos I can relate so very well.... just exactly the way it happened to me😊. I am Ajani! Ajani is me😁😁😁 I am always very happy watching this movie cos it brings back those Beautiful memories back in the day😍 23-08-2023
This is the best movie I have ever watched and I can never be tired of watching!! The reminiscence of the past years makes me glued to the cinema. The poetic rhythm and the command of language are second to non.. this is my best movie anyday anytime... I will watch it with my children and children’s children......Great work uncle Tunde Kelani. Non of ur productions is a sham .Hoping to see more from you sir. I’m ur fan forever!!!!!
kudos to you sir, this movie is bringing back memories and portraying more of yoruba culture and language undiluted. please don't delete these videos for more generations to watch it. keep uploading more of these old Yoruba movies 👍👍
2022 this movie 🎦 still the best, one thing I love ❤ about this movie 🎦 is that it full if culture from A toZ. All the sound 🔉 track and the music play all makes my day. No english language throughout this movie 🎦 not like to day movie 🎦 industry that you will not no different between cultural movie 🎦 and English film 🎦. They will give you Yoruba title but they will speak english throughout the film 🎦.
Great movie, great artists and great Tunde Kelani. Keep making movies that inform, educate and entertain the populace. Keep promoting the great culture of the Yorùbá. Long may you live Egbon Tunde.
This is ever and continues classic movie. Mr Kelani, Ajani was a super actor, he most not die o, main actor don’t die. I have seen part 1 & 2 in the early 90’s. However, I watched dem all again over in this global challenge lockdown. Please produce part 3 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
What a good storyline. Asake's father was too harsh.Asake was never encouraged in her love affairs with Ajani. Sade was so cool headed,presentable,well-cultured and went for what she wanted with the help, support and tutelage of her parents. What a world we live in with differences everywhere.One man's food is another man's poison.
... Mr Tunde Kelani, you are a legend, the movie was well done, fantastic plot, impeccable cinematography, great cast, the movie is evergreen. I would have wondered you used the legendary Mr Saka sake wakapass at the wedding, but he appeared again. Who else is watching this movie in the year 2020.
major thing i love about this movie is just the language which is 99% yoruba undiluted, i want more of it kind. I feel so sad for Asake, she still loves Ajani but only trying to form.
"Trying to form"?? hmm maybe he shouldn't have 2-timed her. Some Yoruba/Nigerian men have built a lie about cheating in this manner being "our culture", not true, big difference between polygamy and inability to keep it in your pants.
This is the best production from Mainframe . I cherished the Rich Yoruba culture and Language. The days when things were relatively comfortable and affordable with great hopes . The setting was in the early 60s to Mid 70s. Ajani and Asake were meant to be but Asake"s Father was too Strict because he desired Asake to study in the University.
Oniranu Lomo shade yii, I was touched by asake's mom action wen her father chased her pit of the house mothers are precious.... God bless all mothers anifi oju sunkun omo ooooo. Amin
my friends and i watched this classic drama today here in North Cyrus to celeberate valentine and to remember home and our rich culture. once again im proud of you sir
It is a very awesome movie to watch. The right choice of songs and the reflection of the 70s make me love this movie more. Kudos to TK. Wish other producers would produce more quality Yoruba movies like this and I can happily watch. However, the end part remains confusing whether Ajani died or not. I am really confused and the movie really touched me
He died,they didn't complete it in the movie!In the novel,he died and Asake attended his burial and saw Shade.Shade was already pregnant,so Ashake told her that if she gives birth to a daughter she will make sure her daughter marries Ajani's son!
I so ❤❤❤❤much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 love this story 🎉🎉❤❤❤ this Mrs AJANI YI wọn Yan di oOoOO lolzzzzzzz Mr AJANI, you don't have any Aso imurode mi ni Please bring more of this A lot of lessons is there
Hmmmm,my takes: 1) destiny didn't have Ajani and Asake together, that could not have been changed by anything 2)May my daughter not fall for an Ajani, he is loyal to no one other than his selfish self. Dotun waited for Lola despite her cheating ass, just the thought of been taken for a ride Mr. Ajani took to his heels 3) Fathers and their hot heads, Asake's mother was spineless, taking her stand would have saved the lovebirds pregnancy and ultimately their relationship, as a mother, play your part it goes beyond birthing and nurturing it involves warring and taking some wounds for your wards 4) Sade's parents are what every parent should be to their wards, society will be better off Thoroughly enjoyed this, will be back someday in the future to take a refresher viewing, thanks to the cast and crew.
I love your take on this. Ajani is the true representation of present day Yoruba Demon and his friends, Geng of "Iyawo wa". Asake was really patient but I prefer Lola's spirit.
This movie inspired me to desire University education. It made me want to study in University of Ibadan. Well, I eventually studied in OAU. Every scene brought back memories and got me nostalgic, especially the scene of their final paper. I had similar conversation with my two friends after our last paper. Oleku is a classic that will remain relevant for a very long time. Evergreen!
Honestly, the cinematography is world class. Final scene especially. Such attention to detail! Such clarity! Such focus! Need I say the acting is superb? Unforced. Natural. Fabulous! What a sublime treat! Never been prouder. Thank you, Sir! Ee pe fun wa, o! My dream is for theatre and cinema to be fully restored to their rightful place in our society, accessible to all for perpetual enrichment and improved quality of life.
baba..thanks for the explanation because i was a little confused too..this a a very classic movie about love and fate and it is very real in our daily lives,the story is overwhelming i love it.. and i respect every single technicality behind mainframe production.
I must commend TK for this movie, it’s a timeless movie with excellent production that has an important impact in the life of youths which uphold the Yoruba culture
you are great sir, i have been watching all your movies from my younger days this particular movie oleku is really interesting and teaches a lot of lessons but i dont see most of these great characters in movies again talking about the likes of Asake more greese to your elbow
Someday I'll rewatch this movie with Someone's precious daughter.... I so much love this movie..... aside that the question on my mind is Nigeria progressing or regressing....
I remember the first time seeing this movie !i was 14 then,it's my all time favourite movie in the world after that is koseegbe,TK plz how can I buy all Mainframe movies as I reside in the uk,this are movies the unborn generation needs to see..
Era of true love. You only needed to make a beautiful poem for ladies, unlike now when money is the determinant. A great and always evergreen film. Asake was threatened by her narcissist and nasty father and she was made to lose what she faithfully worked for
I have watched this film over and over again! Sometimes it feels so palpable as if Ajani and Asake were going to jump out of the film 😁 and start living.I have a slightly similar story .when I was going to marry my husband my mum was so much against the relationship promised to disown me if I did reported me to everyone she could possibly did .

There are some people who are meant to be if you stop the plan their lives can never remain the same anymore. It's a great lesson to always hold on to your dreams and aspirations no matter what. My mum will often say that I am grateful to God that you refused to listen to me then
wow
Wow wow
Congratulations,am happy for you
I wish I can say otherwise, my parents were against my relationship, I was adamant but the *guy* messed up badly.
My life has never been the same, still hoping to meet my *second love* if it really exist.
Happy for you girl and continue to enjoy your marriage... it was meant to be.❤
I love your testimony, may God continue to bless your home.
Who's here in 2024 to appreciate this masterpiece?
Thoroughly loved this movie then and now
Ajani was the one that began the Yoruba Demon movement 😅
Same here . I really love the movie
This movie always reminds me of when Nigeria was a better place to live in. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
There has never been a relaxed period in Nigeria since 1950s
There has never been a relaxed period in Nigeria since the 1950s
Hmmmmmmnnn
Honestly speaking
You are right. But generally, the whole world has completely changed. No country remains the same again. There is hatred, insecurity and conflict everywhere--we are already fighting the Third World War but we are not aware. Only God can make things right.
Im Ghanaian by birth even tho my grandpa from my dad's side is Yoruba...I saw a scene from this movie on Twitter n here I'm watching. I love Mama Africa ❤
Tunde Kelani must surely be one of the best movie makers in Nigeria. This is the 3rd movie I have watched in the space of 24hrs and Oleku leaves me wanting more Kelani movies. If you'd like to get to know Nigeria and the true Yoruba culture, I recommend Tunde's films. I come from a very poor home and Oleku brought the picture to me all over again just as it was in the 70s. I love you man!
Oleku is an adaptation. Professor Akinwunmi Ishola wrote the book.
God bless you sir
I can't tell how many times I have watched this film, yet I always shed tears at the end of it. The best love story I have ever watched. I must carry out a significant project on this story. May the memory of Prof. Akinwumi Isola be a blessing to us all; and God bless Tunde Kelani.
Honestly I felt for Ajani and Asake but was a bit comforted that Ajani didn't die in the movie as compared to the Novel.
God rest Prof Akinwumi Isola and bless Sir TK
This movie is evergreen 🥰 . Beautiful story line with deep Yoruba culture well displayed. Watching again with great understanding now in 2024, hopeful to watch again by 2034 with my wife and children 😊.
Kudos elders for this masterpiece. 👏👍
old movies are better than new generation
Dotun truly love Lola and he patiently waited and accepted her back. Lesson of this day for all men
Amazing classic, I first watched in 1998/1999 and two decades later, I still come back to watch. My favourite is Lola due to her taking chances but then getting disappointed by Ajani. Asake will have been ideal but she got brainwashed by her father. Sade came across as innocent and I think Ajani chose her because she was the least of the three that gave him grief. Brilliant storyline, acting, as well as lovely vintage fashion. 😊👍🏾
Asake was the main loser....it was true love.
Asake has always been my best. I watched this movie a long time ago 1997. Nice to see it again. Thanks for uploading it.
This is a great Yoruba movie of all time. "Ogidi yoruba" Not the kind that are spoken these days.
This movie was released on Oct. 5, 1998. It's impossible to watch it in 1997
This movie is nothing short of excellence! intriguing story, wonderful cast, and excellent production. How can I not be proud of my people ? Our Yoruba culture and language that we so take for granted once received breathtaking ratings by visiting westerners long ago.
Alagba Tunde Kelani, a true Yoruba son, eku ise opolo o. May the good LORD continue to uphold you. Ase (Amen).
n.b. My family bought and really enjoyed the Oleku 1 & 2 when newly released back then.
Oga Tunde can you please organize a reunion of the Oleku case please, this will be an epic event
Sade is my fav. She knew what she wanted and just went for it. Nice movie. I have had to buy the CD 4 times now.
Weldone Sir! I have been watching the oldies recently, can't just stop watching them because they taught more lessons than the new schools... This particular teaches varieties of lessons, e.g the power of love, parent not to dictate for their wards/children, morals, contentment etc. Thanks Daddy Tunde Kelani
The new generation ones are just meaningless
The good old days, i miss growing up 😢
I watched this movie when i was 5 or 6. It wasn't until watching it again today that i realised that so much of it is etched in my memory. Especially the soundtracks...reminiscing much.
It exudes great art and culture
Awesome work!
Shade is my favourite. Very calculative, focussed and knew how to achieve her objectives with excellent strategies while Lola was arrogant and pompous. Meanwhile, Asake was conservative, well cultured but couldnt match Shade's strategic plans. Thanks that the last part of the play was rewritten. Imagining the death of Ajani was a night mare but thanks to TK for the change in the scene. Very excellent.
It was a good one. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Ajani had died in the book.
Pls explain this
I'm watching this movie and I'm crying... Brought back so many memories
Am actually crying too...this brought So Many memories of regrets..
Many many memories😥. Most especially my late sister. Very loving and kind sis 😥
A core classic! This is more than just a film. It refreshes a lot in me and captures the truth in our contemporary society. God bless Tunde kelani
Imagine this is the first time to finish watching this movie since 1999,i don't have d opportunity to watch it. Thanks to the internet. So proud to be omo Yoruba atata
i can watch dis movies over and over again........its so real and the story lines have depth and content, not the rubbish we see dis days......more power to your elbows sir.....african culture well preserved
This brings back so many memories. Asake was my celebrity crush as a kid😅
Sir TK is a legend.
An epic Yoruba movie, full of suspense, hilarious, tactical & comical. The storyline is accurate & it is meant for those who knows how to play their game, i.e Shade! Asake was my favourite but brainwashed by her father. Lola somehow aggressive. Shade drew a strategic plan & she was lucky. Kudos to TK. Ajani i throw away salute

🤣🤣🤣 I bet you know every single sentence.
Oyà gather here south Africa group... Never stop watching this movie from time to time... Mind you IB boy is here talking to you bro
The thing about Ajani is that he is so smooth. Not Afraid of anything. I dont have the quarter of his boldness. He is so brave. Who brings all his girlfriends to the same party speak more where he is the host. Great movieeeeee. Thumbs up Mr Kelani.
i came here to watch again...surely comes back in the 2030s to watch again as an old man
😊😊😊
I still have the original VHS of this film that I bought when it first came out; it is one of my old Yoruba Film collections. I later converted it to VCD. Once I start watching it, I always watch it full 1&2.
Can I have a copy, please.....lol
I wonder if we can still see production of this quality that promotes Yoruba culture. Please Mainframe, we want more of this kind. Thank you
what a lovely film,a film to be remembered always.the end scene almost made me shed tears before i came to realize i just watched oleku........oleku looooto....films like this will always make memory linger.eku ise opolo oooo..more power to your elbow sir
May the Chief commander Ebenezer Obey live long, classic songs, inimitable and fit for the occassions
I just can't stop watching this movie, I'm addicted to all round perfection, the crew,the cast and everybody involved were wonderful, amazing and awesome.
Watching this movie makes me understand that NIGERIA 🇳🇬 is actually not progressing but regressing. Movie dope 🔥
Really a classic !
I read the book around 1978 and watched the film on the umpteenth. It's so unputdownable 🎉
Kudos to Prof Akinwumi Isola and TK.
Oleku is a movie that some men really need to learn from, Ajani seems to be a responsible man among the 3 of them, he never put any one down in front of each other and also cares equally. destiny is the master of everything
infact i love this movie and all the yoruba conversation plus the culture and yoruba is the must culture tribe in 9ja.it make's me remember my primary school and my old shool friend pls continual with this and let our childreds know's our culture
thanks sir
I sooo love this movie
It’s entertaining
Educating
Realistic too
I feel so sorry for Asake 😢 their love is true
Sometimes our parents can be too strict
Especially father hmmmmmmm
Ajani friends are true ones, gone are those days when friends have true value
Asake is my favourite..when I watched this movie back in 1997, I thought when I grow up am going to get married to Asake. I so much love her and always wish to meet her someday..much love Mr TK
It’s an epic movie, I have been watching this movie it’s first sales and I watch it at least 3 to 4 times each year, my kids are growing up right here in America but I want them to watch with me to know how peaceful and loving Nigeria used to be.
Same here. I watch this movie 3 to 4 times a year. I'm never tired of it.
Sade is classic, Lola is gorgeous... However there is something unique about Asake that'd make me choose her out of the three damsels.
+Esh A asake is unique, i'd marry her in real life
I would choose Sade for her confidence and for knowing what she wanted and went for it..... lol.
Lola is mean sprited and has quick temper n long mouth. Lol. I'd go for Asake too
Asake's father messed the whole thing up.
I dey trip for that Lola , I go like see her now 😀😀
I must havd seen this film at least a dozen times, but its wisdom only understood now at 30. I have some decisions to make, wish me luck!
i could remember when growing up in the earlt 90s that the elder brothers in my neighborhood memorised the toasting part and eventually used it to toast ladies...
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a tough one: they were different ladies with different characters that Ajani saw in them: Asake was the first love (homely and wife worthy), Lola was the distraction (good girl but in his 'class'), Sade was the young girl (naive and fresh) they had different characters. I feel Asake suffered the most though. If not for her father's dubious way she would have persevered and married Ajani.
I wouldn’t blame Lola because he love AJANI too. Since she heard Asake is pregnant. She has know choice than to let her feelings for AJANI go.
Honestly, I feel for Asake
Same as the 📙, only difference, Ajani died in an accident.. Can't stop watching here in Kuwait 🇰🇼.. Thanks mainframe 🙏
Quarantine mood right in here 2020... kudos to tunde kelani...
Where are d tunde kelani of ds generation
The Afolayan's
I am very happy that the world can agree with me that he is truly a great man becoz since 90s in fectac town I discovered his dedication to movie productions. You are a great man Sir
I can't believe that Ajani organised such a grand event to celebrate a VW Beetle. Life!
@Stephen David
Yep, it was a big deal back then!
No be small thing oh 😂
Lol
😂
🤣😅😂😹
If u no get money those days . U can buy this o
I only got to know about this film 2 years ago and can bet no one has watched it more than me 😁 I've watched this movie more than 2000 times
Cos I can relate so very well.... just exactly the way it happened to me😊. I am Ajani! Ajani is me😁😁😁
I am always very happy watching this movie cos it brings back those Beautiful memories back in the day😍
23-08-2023
This is the best movie I have ever watched and I can never be tired of watching!! The reminiscence of the past years makes me glued to the cinema. The poetic rhythm and the command of language are second to non.. this is my best movie anyday anytime... I will watch it with my children and children’s children......Great work uncle Tunde Kelani. Non of ur productions is a sham .Hoping to see more from you sir. I’m ur fan forever!!!!!
I love this piece........The ending is just what I don't settle with
kudos to you sir, this movie is bringing back memories and portraying more of yoruba culture and language undiluted. please don't delete these videos for more generations to watch it. keep uploading more of these old Yoruba movies 👍👍
I watch the film as if I haven't watch before. kudos to kelani. this is evergreen.
The cinematography is different class.
very superb Tunde Kelani is an epitome of wisdom and inspiration. God bless you
2022 this movie 🎦 still the best, one thing I love ❤ about this movie 🎦 is that it full if culture from A toZ. All the sound 🔉 track and the music play all makes my day. No english language throughout this movie 🎦 not like to day movie 🎦 industry that you will not no different between cultural movie 🎦 and English film 🎦. They will give you Yoruba title but they will speak english throughout the film 🎦.
Ajani and Asake, an obvious match made in heaven but ruined on earth😭😭😭😭. Lola was just arrogant and obsessive but time and chance favored Sade.
I wouldn’t blame Lola because he love AJANI too. Since she heard Asake is pregnant. She has know choice than to let her feelings for AJANI go.
And I love Lola, she's fat now
@@abuimran3209yeah 👍 the figure 8 is no longer there 😊
Here in November 2023 to say this is still an undeniable classic. A triumph of filmmaking and storytelling.

one of the best movies and movie production in the world. Yoruba men are hilarious and epic
Great movie, great artists and great Tunde Kelani. Keep making movies that inform, educate and entertain the populace. Keep promoting the great culture of the Yorùbá. Long may you live Egbon Tunde.
I love the sound track kudos to you Mr tunde kelani
This is ever and continues classic movie. Mr Kelani, Ajani was a super actor, he most not die o, main actor don’t die. I have seen part 1 & 2 in the early 90’s. However, I watched dem all again over in this global challenge lockdown. Please produce part 3 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
What a good storyline.
Asake's father was too harsh.Asake was never encouraged in her love affairs with Ajani.
Sade was so cool headed,presentable,well-cultured and went for what she wanted with the help, support and tutelage of her parents.
What a world we live in with differences everywhere.One man's food is another man's poison.
... Mr Tunde Kelani, you are a legend, the movie was well done, fantastic plot, impeccable cinematography, great cast, the movie is evergreen. I would have wondered you used the legendary Mr Saka sake wakapass at the wedding, but he appeared again.
Who else is watching this movie in the year 2020.
Evergreen. Best of all yoruba movies. No 1 at all times.
major thing i love about this movie is just the language which is 99% yoruba undiluted, i want more of it kind. I feel so sad for Asake, she still loves Ajani but only trying to form.
"Trying to form"?? hmm maybe he shouldn't have 2-timed her. Some Yoruba/Nigerian men have built a lie about cheating in this manner being "our culture", not true, big difference between polygamy and inability to keep it in your pants.
Adekunle Adedokun
@@tkooo8343 hmmm
I’ll say 100% undiluted
😅😊@@tkooo8343
Whenever I re-watch this movie sha, it reminds me of my late sister😥. She passed away 2014 in the UK. She was the light of the house those days😥😥😥😥😥😥
😢it is well my dear, may her soul continue to rest in peace.
@@OmolaraOjuriThough it hasn't been well. Still going through the trauma. Thank you so much sir/ma ❤
This is the best production from Mainframe . I cherished the Rich Yoruba culture and Language. The days when things were relatively comfortable and affordable with great hopes . The setting was in the early 60s to Mid 70s. Ajani and Asake were meant to be but Asake"s Father was too Strict because he desired Asake to study in the University.
Oniranu Lomo shade yii, I was touched by asake's mom action wen her father chased her pit of the house mothers are precious.... God bless all mothers anifi oju sunkun omo ooooo. Amin
Aminoooo
xxbestie 4life p
asake has a true beauty within...i love asake
Yea...
my friends and i watched this classic drama today here in North Cyrus to celeberate valentine and to remember home and our rich culture. once again im proud of you sir
It is a very awesome movie to watch. The right choice of songs and the reflection of the 70s make me love this movie more. Kudos to TK. Wish other producers would produce more quality Yoruba movies like this and I can happily watch. However, the end part remains confusing whether Ajani died or not. I am really confused and the movie really touched me
He died,they didn't complete it in the movie!In the novel,he died and Asake attended his burial and saw Shade.Shade was already pregnant,so Ashake told her that if she gives birth to a daughter she will make sure her daughter marries Ajani's son!
Just finished watching in 2022. I have watched like 10 times. Epic storyline. I cried at the end.
Sooooo interesting......
when Nigeria was GREAT!
This is lovely, how I wish the latest films could be like this.
Wise comment
Such a shame..I suspect modern films imitate real life..what do you expect when Yorubas seem to have lost their way..
One of the best of the best classical yoruba movies. (Score:100%)
I wish we can go back to the time of Life when things are better off than now,, Nice movie and write-up
This movie is Grade 1 A best of the BEST Thank you folks i am very proud of you
This are the time when children, woman were well respected and loyal to their husband
I so ❤❤❤❤much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 love this story 🎉🎉❤❤❤ this Mrs AJANI YI wọn Yan di oOoOO lolzzzzzzz
Mr AJANI, you don't have any Aso imurode mi ni
Please bring more of this
A lot of lessons is there
Hmmmm,my takes:
1) destiny didn't have Ajani and Asake together, that could not have been changed by anything
2)May my daughter not fall for an Ajani, he is loyal to no one other than his selfish self. Dotun waited for Lola despite her cheating ass, just the thought of been taken for a ride Mr. Ajani took to his heels
3) Fathers and their hot heads, Asake's mother was spineless, taking her stand would have saved the lovebirds pregnancy and ultimately their relationship, as a mother, play your part it goes beyond birthing and nurturing it involves warring and taking some wounds for your wards
4) Sade's parents are what every parent should be to their wards, society will be better off
Thoroughly enjoyed this, will be back someday in the future to take a refresher viewing, thanks to the cast and crew.
I love your take on this. Ajani is the true representation of present day Yoruba Demon and his friends, Geng of "Iyawo wa".
Asake was really patient but I prefer Lola's spirit.
Thank you mr kelani for this masterpiece.
God bless the actors and producer of this fantastic movie
This movie inspired me to desire University education. It made me want to study in University of Ibadan. Well, I eventually studied in OAU.
Every scene brought back memories and got me nostalgic, especially the scene of their final paper. I had similar conversation with my two friends after our last paper.
Oleku is a classic that will remain relevant for a very long time. Evergreen!
Same here
Please dis is kind of movie we need to watch in Nigeria it's will help d young ones
This movie remind me a lot,god bless Nigeria
No He did not die, Asake was dreaming, she woke up to see Ajani, but in the book Oleku, Ajani died, not in the movie
Thanks for the clarification, the end actually clouded my mind, couldn't figure it out.
Watching all over again after many years.
Honestly, the cinematography is world class. Final scene especially. Such attention to detail! Such clarity! Such focus! Need I say the acting is superb? Unforced. Natural. Fabulous! What a sublime treat! Never been prouder. Thank you, Sir! Ee pe fun wa, o! My dream is for theatre and cinema to be fully restored to their rightful place in our society, accessible to all for perpetual enrichment and improved quality of life.
Lol, you wouldn't say same in 2023 😁
I have watched this movie more than 20 times,I swear,I even read Oleku’s novel then.
baba..thanks for the explanation because i was a little confused too..this a a very classic movie about love and fate and it is very real in our daily lives,the story is overwhelming i love it.. and i respect every single technicality behind mainframe production.
Truly this movie is evergreen
Such a sad ending, brought tears to my eyes. The tragedy would have been avoided if only asake's father was a bit understanding.😕
you mean less selfish
What a lovely movie that really portrays Yoruba culture..?!!! All roles were played perfectly. Keep the good works up guys. Thanks for uploading
I must commend TK for this movie, it’s a timeless movie with excellent production that has an important impact in the life of youths which uphold the Yoruba culture
Nostalgia brought me here
you are great sir, i have been watching all your movies from my younger days this particular movie oleku is really interesting and teaches a lot of lessons but i dont see most of these great characters in movies again talking about the likes of Asake
more greese to your elbow
Someday I'll rewatch this movie with Someone's precious daughter.... I so much love this movie..... aside that the question on my mind is Nigeria progressing or regressing....
Regressing 😮
I remember the first time seeing this movie !i was 14 then,it's my all time favourite movie in the world after that is koseegbe,TK plz how can I buy all Mainframe movies as I reside in the uk,this are movies the unborn generation needs to see..
Era of true love. You only needed to make a beautiful poem for ladies, unlike now when money is the determinant. A great and always evergreen film. Asake was threatened by her narcissist and nasty father and she was made to lose what she faithfully worked for
And almost all the cast are still very much alive, so I advice Dady TK to reproduce this movie as return of oleku
Was thinking of same thing some moments ago. It would be a banger. #ReturnofOleke
Only the fourth guy named IJAOLA he's not been in limelight after OLEKU
