Pete Edochie Debunks Bad Actor Claim

Veteran Nigerian actor, Pete Edochie, was a social media topic over the week following a claim on social media that he is a bad actor.
While expressing her opinion recently about Edochie, a Twitter user wrote, ”Pete Edochie is a really bad actor. He’s been playing the same role his entire life.
“Acting isn’t quoting proverbs. But Nigerians live and die by seniority, so the older he gets, the less anybody is able to point this glaring elephant in the room out.”
The statement triggered reactions on the platform as many argued that the comment about the actor was borne out of ignorance.
Some Nigerians went as far as digging up Edochie’s clips in which he played different roles in Nollywood movies to rubbish the claim.

Reacting to the controversial statement in a chat with Punch, Edochie said he’s indifferent to opinions expressed about him because they don’t make sense to him.
‘I’ll be honest with you: I’m indifferent to opinions expressed about me, because they don’t make sense to me. If Pete Edochie is a fantastic actor, thank you very much,” the actor said.
“It doesn’t mean anything to me; it has absolutely nothing to do with me. If you start responding to things that don’t make sense, there is that danger of reducing yourself to the level of that person.
“I’m mentally occupied 24 hours on a daily basis. I trained formally as a broadcaster and by the grace of God, I happen to be an articulate individual. I don’t have to advertise that, every other person knows that.
