Segun Arinze’s actual name was Segun Aina, not Arinze. He later changed his surname to Arinze. He chose the name to reflect his mixed Yoruba and Igbo heritage — his father is from Badagry, Lagos State (Yoruba), and his mother is from Onitsha, Anambra State (Igbo).

Go and do your research again, his name is not segun aina

His real name doesn't even contain segun

I always thought it was the reverse. I always assumed he was Igbo.

Bob Manuel Udokwu was paid 1000 Naira in 1992 for acting in the movie 'Living in Bondage'.

Let me try and calculate how much that is today.

[Update]

From what I saw online, a dollar was N 9.91 in 1992. That would make the sum ~ $ 101 which he was paid to act. Not a bad pay. Today, that money is N 146,022. Still more than how much they pay some waka pass talents.

I remember that Ifeanyi, he acted in a movie where he played the role of a mád boy and he was always shouting "who go savi me! Savi me o, savi me!"

Can't remember the title of the movie.

That movie then titled “Odenigbo”, was for me the best of all the movies those men participated in. I have watched that movie time and time again. Rita delivered spectacularly in that movie.

Thank you to those men.

Ifeanyi Ezeokeke, may God heal you. I weep for this young man. They did not allow him to enjoy his fame for one bit.

Who are the "They" that did not allow him enjoy his fame?

Many of you did not know that Yul Edochie and late Muna Obiekwe are first cousins.

Many also don't know that once upon a time in the real life history of Nollywood stars. Circa 2009. The links are easy to find on NL.

People from Badagry are mostly NOT Yoruba! They are mainly Ogu! Or Igun. They prefer to be called Ogu. Only few people can claim to be Yoruba and come from Badagry
