“My only senior in the film industry is Pete Edochie.” – Stephen Alajemba, an actor

According to seasoned Nollywood actor Stephen Alajemba, also known as Uwaezuoke, Pete Edochie is the only person in the Nigerian film industry with more years of experience than Alajemba.

Although he holds admiration for the “Things Fall Apart” actor, he asserted that the late Solomon Eze, also referred to as Mike Orihedịmma, is the true father of Nollywood.

The actor asserted that Orihedịmma was the forerunner of Nollywood and Igbo cinema.

Alajemba stated in a recent interview with well-known YouTuber Yan Kontent Factory: “Mike Orihedịmma is the first person to be mentioned when you talk about Igbo movie industry.” The majority of the actors you see today had their training from him. In authoring “Living,” Kenneth Nnebue and Pauloo followed in his footsteps.In servitude.

“Pete Edochie is the only person in the film industry I respect.” Anybody in the film industry today who claims to be older than me ought to give us the name of his first feature film and the year it was released. I can only claim that Pete Edochie is older than me as a result of Things Fall Apart.
