Toyin Oshinaike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oshinaike started his professional acting career in the early 1990s after initially working in the banking sector in 1993. Some of his theatre performances include portraying Elesin Oba in Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King's Horseman, and Obierika in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, which toured the UK and USA in 1999.[1][2] He considers one of his most challenging roles to be Baroka in Soyinka's The Lion and the Jewel, especially during a tour in England where he had to adapt the Nigerian character for a foreign audience.[2]
