“I granted a podcast interview and said along the lines that I was in Nollywood before Pete Edochie, in an answer to a question posed to me by the host of the show but the statement: ‘as he is parading himself and deceiving others’ is certainly not from me. I was misrepresented.
“That’s a very wrong thing for them to do. I never said that. All I said was that if you are referring to Nollywood, I started acting before Pete Edochie. He may have started acting before me like in “Things Fall Apart’, but the TV series was not part of Nollywood. Kanayo O. Kanayo had said the same thing many years ago. They now wrote that I said he was parading himself and deceiving others.
“I acted in “Checkmate’ and “When the Sun Sets”, but I don’t count it as part of Nollywood. Pete Edochie is older than me by far. In our African culture, we don’t disrespect our elders. I will never disrespect Pete Edochie.”

Interview with NollyNow
I believe you
ReplyDeleteI believe you, don't mind them.
ReplyDeleteI watched it "Gbam" even though I wasn't paying much attention but I don't think said "he is parading himself" but I heard him say "what "he" did was series, while he (Bob) was part of the people that started Nigerian film"
ReplyDeleteSome Podcast interviewers can twist words to generate traffic.
ReplyDeleteChief Bob Manuel no vex, you know your people. Once you are not with their 'god' - Petr Obi, you are automatically their enemy
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time to start suing podcast hosts for misrepresentation of facts.
