Pete Edochie Is My Junior In Nollywood – Veteran Actor, Kanayo O Kanayo by AImiron: 11:36pm On Sep 26, 2023
Renowned Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo has revealed that he was senior to prominent professional actor, Pete Edochie, in the domestic movie industry, Nollywood.

Kanayo made the assertion in a recent interview where he discussed the history of the business.

The 61-year-old actor acknowledged that Edochie produced the first motion picture, “Things Fall Apart,” but pointed out that he had been working in Nollywood for four years prior to Edochie’s debut.

He said;

“I cannot be written off the history or the story when it is told of Nollywood. You can’t take it away that Kenneth Nnebue made the first professionally made home video in 1992.

You can’t take it away from those who took part in ‘Living in Bondage’, just like you can’t take it away from the fact that ‘Things Fall Apart’ which Pete Edochie took part in was not a home video. It was a cinema.

So if you write a story now and say Pete Edochie is older than me in Nollywood, I will contest it because he came four years after. So in Nollywood I’m his senior. It is not a matter of biological age.

So, when it comes to cinema, of course, then you start going to Baba Hubert Ogunde in 1940s or 1950s. This is history. History has no romanticism.”

KO keep quiet!

When Pete Edochie acted in things fall apart in the 80s, where were you? Or you think he started in Nollywood with you guys? Ta! Pete senior you.


Modified
Wether Nollywood or home video, Pete senior him in acting. He should never compare himself with Pete on any level. I know what I'm saying for all of you trying to correct or help me comprehend his statement.

Pete remains the legend here.

Please always learn how to read and understand before you reply. When it comes to biological age, Pete is older than him, when it comes to acting drama(Things fall apart) which is not a home video, Pete is older than him, but when it comes to Nollywood business(Living in bondage) which is a home video, Kanayo is older than Pete, so I get his point.

Bros abeg read it all again.

There's no lie there. You are just being too lazy to read the article. Besides, that interview was granted over a week ago. Pete Edochie is still alive and hasn't refuted it.

Yes, Pete Edochie is respected because he dishes out wise words and he is selective about his roles, but KOK explained how he's Pete's senior in the industry.

Kanayo O Kanayo was actually in Things Fall Apart.
He was one of the villagers in the crowd clapping and cheering during one of the wrestling matches.

Many fantastic English nollywood actors stay away from acting because of low pay.

But those actors can be producing their own films like yoruba actors doing very interesting films like femi adebayo , odunlade adekola and others do.
