The origin of African Drama and Theatre with Salient Elements from Selected Plays by Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

African drama and theatre started to emerge in Africa continent when British came to make their affairs of life imposed on Africans.

The risk-without-fear life they live is in the strife for money. As a result of abject poverty and economic recession battling with the country that have soaked many in shameless lives, many Nigerians, young or old, including graduates, have chosen to be commercial motorcyclists. This is very popular in both rural areas and cities across the country.
