Pete Edochie, one of Nigeria’s most talented and famous actors, is not dead as being speculated online, Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, said on Saturday.
AGN president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, was quoted by a Lagos-based newspaper as saying that the 61-year old actor was alive and the report should be disregarded.
Global Associated News, reported on Saturday that the veteran actor died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria.
But Fiberesima said in a text message: “It is not true at all.”
Born on 7 March 1947, Edochie is a seasoned administrator and broadcaster who came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in a Nigerian Television Authority adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all time bestselling novel, Things Fall Apart.
He became so prominent after the NTA adaptation that the BBC flew into Nigeria to interview him for his role in Things Fall Apart.
Edochie has featured in so many successful movies that the number seems not exhaustive. From ‘Terrible Sins in 2001 to more recent movies such as Secret Pain or Living with Death, Edochie is an A-list actor.

Death is scared of some nollywood actors pete edochie and alex usifo tops that list

Death cannot take Ogadagidi, Ebubedike now, impossible !!!

He wont die

Tufiakwa notin dey sweet nija newsmen pass death die dead n bomb news kia

My hero will live above 100yrs

Amen

There re things we mustn't joke with, why would people carry such rumore of death? No wonder GEJ said that Nigeria problem is not corruption, but attitude, praise to God we didn't lose such a man.

I see this is the new trend: journalists overtly declaring the orbituary of living individuals in 9ja like they are wishing for less people to breathe the air...it shall not come to pass IJN!

A typical Nigerian prefers bad news/rumours without caring 2 find out abt it's authenticity.

Let him come out himself and tell us that he is not dead.



Or is Ibinabo now his official PA?

Shouldn't edochie himself or the family members be the ones to refute the news?

Edochie die Mba nu! It fit'nt happen. Let his death go to all d evil politicians dat loot and cause us pain in dis country.
Long live Ebubedike!!!

Glad he is alife

If he was born in 1947, he is not 61 years old

That's good news for nigerian nollywood fans and sad news for apams coffin seller.

Wait a minute, is ibinabo feberishima out of prison or did they give her a parole.
