How do you compare edochie with olu Jacobs na? Edochie is the same level with yemi solade abeg
Olu Jacobs returned to Nigeria late, so he isn't in that league. The likes of Bob Manuel,KOK, Kenneth Okonkwo, Jide Kosoko , RMD, Ramsey Noah, Sam Loco , Okey Bakassi, Nkem Owo,Larry Goldsweat, Obi Madubuogu and Chief Enebeli Elebuware were in the industry long before Olu Jacobs returned to Nigeria.

The most successful actors are Funke Akindele and Kunle Afolayan.

Others are broke actors

Yoruba vs Igbos all the time.

They just can't compete. U are older than him in the industry but u are not in any way his class...this tells u that in life someone might be a director in govt but u are living a better life than him even as a level 14 officer.

Compete with yourself and stop all this.

Pete Edochie wasn't among the first set of actors to join the industry. KOK even started before him. However, Mr. Pete was just a man grace found after working in the media and playing the big role of Okonkwo.

That's why Pete himself always says that whenever you wake up in the morning, the first thing you must do is pray for God's GRACE.
so when he acted in things fall apart in 1971, Pete was playing abi ?

I am 💯 sure the comment section will be full of insults show our level of comprehension and laziness even as a nation no research just placard and banners.
Due diligence study is a taboo in this divide.

and since the Yoruba took over hafa has Nollywood gone Nigeria movie industry has fallen from its glory during when igbos were heading it we had missed movie breed in that igbo and hausa and Yoruba played role in it but recently since yorflex is on board none can be seen.

Pls can't you read? Was this man comparing? Seriously what is wrong with many of you on this forum? Why most if you lack proper understanding of a statement and exceptionally misguided ccharacterwise?

Yes he or anyone can say I started movie before so and so person does not mean he or she is saying is bigger than that person. Pls "I started before you does not literally mean I'm bigger than you"

Pls its too early to start the day with monsemse..
