Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has stirred reactions as he was seen in a video teaching a white lady, Fari Ferrari, Igbo language following her first meeting with him.
Ferrari shared the adorable video of their meeting on her Instagram page showing the moment the veteran actor taught her some Igbo words.
In the video, she asked Pete Edochie how to say ‘Daddy I missed you’ in Igbo and the iconic actor obliged her request.
He told her to say, “Otego kwa aka.”
The young lady made several attempts to repeat the words after Edochie and she heartily thanked him after their brief language-learning class.
Reacting to the sweet clip, @lenny44 said: “Pete Edochie always so calm and humble.”
@dorischike reacted: “awwww my role model for life. I too love this man.”
@prosperity442 added: “Madam just give up. You no fit sabi.”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Edochie is one of Africa’s most talented actors, being honored with an Industry Merit Award by Africa Magic and Lifetime Achievement by Africa Film Academy.
Although a seasoned administrator and broadcaster, he came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in a Nigerian Television Authority adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all-time best-selling novel, Things Fall Apart.
Edochie descends from the Igbo people of Nigeria and is a Catholic. In 2003, he was honored as a Member of the Order of the Niger by President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Recall that in 2005 the Actors Guild of Nigeria placed Edochie and several other actors, including Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Noah, Stella Damasus Aboderin, and Richard Mofe Damijo on a one-year ban from filming after they were said to have been collecting huge fees from producers due to their A-list celebrity status.
