Kanayo causes stir as he explains why he is a senior to Pete Edochie in Nollywood

Seasoned Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has offered some enlightening information regarding the Nigerian movie industry.

Kanayo O. Kanayo boldly asserted his superiority over his seasoned colleague, Pete Edochie, in Nollywood during an interview with Afia TV.

The 61-year-old revealed the ground-breaking accomplishments that renowned director Kenneth Nnebue made with his projects while discussing the history of the movie industry.

Kanayo O. Kanayo stated that in 1992, Nnebue was the first filmmaker to professionally produce home videos.

Kanayo continued by saying that individuals like Pete Edochie, Nnebue, and himself, among others, shouldn't be left out of the history of the film industry.

He added that he and his co-stars from the popular 1992–1993 film "Living in Bondage" were among the first Nollywood actors to be treated as actual professionals.

He emphasized that the 1971 movie "Things Fall Apart" with Pete Edochie was a theatrical endeavour and not a home video production.

According to Kanayo, Pete Edochie joined Nollywood four years after he had joined the industry, thereby making him senior to Pete Edochie.

The veteran actor also emphasized that he was prepared to refute any claims that Edochie founded Nollywood before him.

Kanayo O Kanayo's remarks did not sit well with many as they stated that Pete Edochie is senior to Kanayo and not otherwise.
