Engr.Nkem Owoh - my Nsukka High School ClassMate had this Natural Characteristics really as a God's Gift. Moreso, Nkem was also our School Goalkeeper, when I was the Sport's Captain of the School.

[@nnannakalu9423]

Extremely talented, articulate and best of all, devoid of hubris in spite of his stardom! May Mr. Owoh continue to grace us with these absolutely hilarious characters for years to come!

[@ojbanski8789]

He started the comedy thing first before the likes of Sam loco, Aki & Pawpaw, Mr Ibu and co. He has really paid his dues.

[@stanleychidiebere1903]

He has really paid his dues, I like that line.

[@eddieokojie5425]

I wasn’t aware he writes, too. He’s so versatile and accomplished. Ever so smooth and natural! I hope stardom doesn’t change him to something lesser. Given better conditions, his best is yet to come! Kudos!!

[@FadaNonsoJB]

Kudos 👏 to Arise TV for the upgrade of the studio. The quality of the visual and the audio has improved significantly.

[@florenceekpenyong8232]

In USA also. An American lady introduced the movie to me and the other one was dollar dollar. After tgose two moviws i became hooked on Nollywood movie. I was planning to meet him when i come to, i have come twice and don't know where to meet him. It is true that just seeing him makes one laugh.

[@megwasugoakukoiro-moonligh6387]

most of the things he said or acted werent scripted, same as Loco- and he comfirmed that here

[@enehesther6597]

Yea is true, he was not comfortable at the begining of his career. I saw him once around Agbani road in Enugu when I was younger. I called him Osuofia and he turned and said WAKA to me. Good that he has outgrown that. However, I luv watching his movies.🙂

Nkem Owoh: one of the best (if not the best) comedic actor to come out of Africa, hands down!! How Eddie Murphy cast Michael Blackson in the Coming 2 America film instead of authentic African comedians like Nkem Owoh, is just unbelievable!!!

Wooow....his brother was one of the person executed for drugs by Buhari. And Buhari is willing to handover power to a drug peddler!!!

In the light of Wike's interview with Four Nigerian TV stations. After watching the interview Pt 1 and 2, then ask our dear Dr Ruben Abati if he is still a card carrying member of the PDP or not and if so why has he never mentioned this (could it be an oversight, a delibrate move to avoid been seen as a Biased journalist or media house for atleast not showing the simplest etiquette of moving to the background and allowing Rufia and other soldiers fight the cause or perhaps a prove that his perceived support for the Obidient is to help Atiku win without being the one in the news and center of all this negativity? ?
