Happy birthday nde. This is to my surprisation

I did not even know that the man is still alive considering that his contemporaries in that series are almost all gone (Christy Essien Igbokwe, Natty, etc) , Gringory, Ovularia, and the rest, are some of them still alive?

May you continue to enjoy your old age.

Before NEW
Masquerade

There was just Masquerade

My auntie recorded in on tape back in the day when it was still "Masquerade" and we listened to it repeatedly until the tape became unplayable.

B3sty:

Some of us grew up to watch him.
Very Funny Man... Age Massively sir

His birthday is today. Why are you wishing him "Belated" birthday?

Fireborn:


that bad English was his nich i.e area he specialise that what makes him special in the comedy category.it is called Engligbo.
He is not illiterate

Those words must have been coined by chief Zebi. I thought they were peculiar to him alone.

magzey:

NTA and Betamax those years.

I salutation Zebrudaya alias 4:30 for all his spokage.

TemplarLandry:
The man who speaks bad English.
He talks as if he's eating hot piece of yam just like Festus Okoye of INEC.

You're insulting a whole Chief Zebrudaya alias 4:30

Queenslander:
Are you seeing, what I'm saw?

What did you see

HBD to you sir. You were a marvel to watch when we were growing up as kids in the 80s.

You brought families to sit down together in their living rooms and watch your comedy.

8:30pm-9:00pm was always looked upon after our heavy night meals of eba and soup.

My dad used to be your biggest fan, always trying to mimic you.

God bless ""Eddie Qansa"", the composer of the music used as sound track to commence your program on television.

The guitar intro of that music is out of this world.

HimName:
C Nahaty dey drag food as usual

Old Tuesday night memories.

8:30pm - 9pm

Natty n jegede Sokoya too dey fight

Zaccheus referring to Ramota as "Madam Ram"

There were not too many weak links on that show, all the characters were extremely talented and funny, jegede shokoya was funny as heck, giringory was funny as shit, eleyinmi was funny as shit, zebrudaya was funny as shit, Clarus was funny, it's all on YouTube

Legend ...
I those days..
Happy birthday to you sir

Aging is a journey towards nothingness.

So, while alive, live for the interest of everyone rather than your own selfish interest.

The Almighty is watching all we do; so if you wish to be bad, carry on. God will later feed you with the breakfast you prepared for yourself.

sharone21:
Geminis are natural comedians apart from being very intelligent and tend naturally towards the things of God.

Gemini, has that glyph where one face is looking towards the future while one is looking at the past. Meaning they are good luck charm to others at their own detriment. The Gemini is a transition being to propel others to great heights while they fall flat on their face . It's like they transfer their essence and power to their partner while they then get stagnated. A good example is Kanye west. He ed unto Kim kardashian. She then took over and rose to the top meteorically while he stalled and stagnated. Thsts the Gemini energy for you .

When it comes to being funny you gotta give it to the Igbo man and the Yoruba man but most especially the Igbo man. Zebrudaya and eleyinmi and jegede shokoya were funny as shit

Yeah, note worthy ,thank you sir for making
our childhood memorable,long life in good health sir


Iconic comedian and actor!

OLAADEGBU:
Chika Okpala Of "The New Masquerade" Is 73 Today

Wishing Nigerian actor/comedian Chika Okpala, MFR a happy birthday today (born June 10, 1950). He is popularly known as Chief Zebrudaya Okoroigwe Nwogbo alias 4:30, an appellation he got from his role as "Chief Zebrudaya" in a TV comedy series, New Masquerade (1983-1993).

Happy birthday Chief Zebrudaya

It became a network program from '83 but we started watching from the late 70s

I miss the New Masquerades. Wish NTA can rebroadcast the series for today's kids or create a similar program.

Privatepart00:


When NTA was the talk of town then

Always bring laughter with how he acts

Zebrudaya!!! The comic actor who graced our black & white television with so much happiness

Telling you ooo...💃💃💃💃....How come you answers privatepart here?... 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Happy birthday Sir.
I those days with Eleyinmi, Afilaka,, Counsellor Balogun, Girigory.



I think the man should be in his eighties.

Quintopia:
It’s hard to believe he’s just 73. Back in the day he played the character of an old man with grey hair, so it feels like he should be 90 plus by now .🫤

Smiles...He was the youngest among them. Many of them are late now and he is still strong and alive.

Zebrudaya - Happy Bad day
