On his humble beginnings

I was chosen to act in a movie at the tender age of 5. After the movie a few marketers/scouts approached me with so many promises and at the age of 8 I finally yielded to one marketer in Lagos. I left Port-Harcourt for Lagos in a night bus with very little money. When I got to Lagos, I called the marketer’s number but it never went through. It was so late in the night,  I started wandering around Ojuelegba bridge where the bus had stopped. Eventually, I slept by some mallams and area boys under Masha bridge that night. The next day I wandered around asking questions about Winny’s hotel and National Theatre which I eventurally found because they said that’s were actors stay. With time I became friends with a lady who just liked me and I became “The House Squatter”. I spent so many years scurrying around acting in movies, going for auditions, etc. Here I am working on my own movie and back to where it all started but in a different dimension of Class.
