Nollywood Veteran, Pete Edochie spoke about his many impersonators on Facebook and Twitter. He expressed that so many posts have been made, none of which were from him:
“Right now, I’m watching football in my house,
but as I speak to you, some people are posting on Facebook or Twitter,
using my name and picture.”
“It’s either they are talking about politics,
state of the nation, ascribing series of proverbs to me or using my name
to counsel people about marriage.”
“Someone asked me how I had time to put plenty
proverbs on Facebook. I told the person I wasn’t responsible for them
and that I didn’t even have a Facebook account, and she couldn’t believe
it.”
“Some people said I sat with Mourhino in one of
the profile pictures and that I was telling him the gods were angry with
him. Then, they posted another one that Buhari came to consult with me
in my shrine.”
“From time to time, you would hear or read that
Pete Edochie died in London or on location. In our culture, if people
wish you dead, you’d attend the person’s funeral.”
“I’m satisfied with what life has given me. I
don’t envy anybody and I don’t want to be anybody. I just want to be
left alone as Pete Edochie.”
Pete Edochie spoke in an interview with Punch Newspaper today, August 13.
