I STARTED ACTING BEFORE PETE EDOCHIE - YEMI SOLADE


Yoruba Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade, said Pete Edochie may be older, but he began acting before him. 


To this end, if Edochie could be referred to as a veteran actor, the appellation should also apply to him. 


“I’m senior to Pete Edochie, I started acting before him, though he’s older than me," Solade revealed. "I was 17 in 1977 when I represented Nigeria as the Youngest Actor, and I’ve done 48 years in the industry and still standing."


The English and Yoruba actor went down history lane to disclose that the Yorubas started filmmaking in Nigeria even though the Igbos documented it first for public sales.


PETE EDOCHIE:

Edochie got into radio broadcasting in 1967 at the age of 20[11] as a junior programs assistant after which he was elevated to the level of a director. He was director of programs but doubling sometimes as Deputy Managing Director and occasionally acting as Managing Director. He quit Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) because the government decided to politicize the affairs of their FM station, thereby resulting in the entire management being asked to move out, including him. He was to be the immediate successor to the MD but had to leave and enroll into the movie industry. Prior to that, he had featured in Things Fall Apart and had won an International Award. The BBC flew into Nigeria to interview him for his role in Things Fall Apart.[1]


In 2005, the Actors Guild of Nigeria placed Edochie and several other actors, including Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Nouah, 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 perceived A-list celebrity status.[12] - According to his Wikipedia page.
