Adedibu role
27 Jan 2011
He can't act the part of a local
man, mehn
Lagos - Veteran Nollywood Actor,
Jim Iyke, has turned down an
offer to play the lead role in a
Movie adaptation of the life of
late Ibadan strong man, Lamidi
Adedibu.
The three part Movie will follow
the late Adidibu's life from
touting on the streets of Ibadan
to political willing and dealing all
the way to the FCT.
The first part of the Movie
focuses on Adedibu ’s early years
and it is this role that Jim Iyke
has rejected.
Explaining his decision to
journalists, Mr Iyke explained that
haven read the script it became
obvious to him that the role just
wouldn't make use of his 'special
gift.'
Said he: "Mehn, this role aint
dope enough for an actor of my
calibre mehn. I know the guy
was like really big 'n' all, but
mehn, he was local mehn. Just
see the lines they want me to act,
mehn."
Another actor being considered
for the role is Emeka Enyiocha,
whom some people consider to
be very appropriate indeed for
the part.
For the same Movie production,
Ramsay Noah's name has been
mentioned for the role of a
young Alao-Akala, the bejewelled
Governor of Oyo state.
Producers initially favoured
Ramsay for the part of the
Governor because they both
share a fair complexion, but on
further research it was
discovered that the Governor
was not always light skinned. In
fact, he was quite dark skinned
in his youth, thus making Ramsay
inaccurate for the part.
