Baga irinta ba , in which he played an unscrupulous trader named Maman Arrivé, Bouki with him in the role of a family man organizing a baptism and Gaado karfin Allah , in which he played a ruler who was disinterested in the line of succession, are among the best-known pieces with Oumarou Neïno during this period embodied.

In the early 1980s he moved to Niamey, where Yazi Dogo built a new theater company at the Center Culturel Oumarou Ganda , in which Neïno continued to work as a versatile actor. Important roles of Neïno in Niamey were the muezzin in Sarki ya hana sabka bako , the worker in Agyara ou Société wadata , the farmer in Maï kanou and the marabout in Girman kaï rawani tsia and Ba maï yi saï Allah . The state broadcaster Office de Radiodiffusion et Télévision du Niger regularly broadcast theatrical performances on television.

He also starred in feature films, such as The Camp of the Lost (1988) by director Ousmane Sembène .
