Tribal sentiments have no place in celebrating the legacies of two great actors who helped shape Nollywood.
I stumbled on this comment on a tribute post for Olu Jacobs. Someone actually typed that his passing now clears the way for Pete Edochie, calling him a Yoruba local actor.
The internet really brings out the worst in some people.
How do you go under a tribute post for a dead legend like Olu Jacobs and start comparing him to Pete Edochie?
Olu Jacobs didn't just belong to one region, he was a national actor who graced our screens worldwide.
Olu Jacobs and Pete Edochie are two great men who helped shape Nollywood with their talent and hard work.
They didn't compete with each other, they are both legends in their own right.
These two great men should be celebrated for who they are without turning their achievements into tribal sentiments
Rest in peace to a true legend.
