Who is Oyin Adejobi?

Chief Oyin Adejobi was very popular in South-Western Nigeria as a dramatist and seasoned actor. His name, Oyin, means "Honey". He wrote and performed in a variety of Yoruba productions on the stage, television and movies. Due to his status as a chief, he is also known by the title Grace Oyin Adejobi, although it should not be thought that "Grace" is his first name.
