Olatubosun reacting to the way some Yoruba peiple have turned to praise singers My first play ‘Ogun Lakaye’ was written for the college to perform at St Paul’s College Abeokuta, St.Louis College, Ibadan and Anglican Girls Grammar School Abeokuta. The popularity that came with it helped me a lot and I was posted to St Lady Kudeti, Ibadan as a pupil teacher. I quit teaching in 1969 to join Sketch newspaper and GbounGboun, a Yoruba newspaper. I spent about a year there and left for the WNTV, WNBS in 1970. Olatubosun speaking about his experience in St Luke
