Controversial Actor, Gideon Okeke is at it again, the actor is quite known for Poking his nose into others business, even though sometimes he makes a lot of sense.
The award winning actor has just shaded veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu who is known for his comic roles.
According to Gideon Okeke, the actor uses too much of Vulgar words in Igbo language in most of his movies.
Although, who do not understand Igbo Languages might not know because it’s hardly subtitled in English.
Gideon is of the opinion that Vulgarity wouldn’t do good to the upcoming generation that might eventually settle with it as nothing wrong.
No matter how people see it that Gideon might not be in good terms with Chiwetalu, whilst using this opportunity to shade him, we think he is making a lot of sense.
In his words: “when the actor becomes larger than Life
You know him as the wicked uncle in film, but I know to check the sanity of my ears and mind whenever he comes on screen.
I’m a fan of his and also a film person, but the measure of liberty this dear actor enjoys from producers and directors within Nollywood to improve vulgarities in movies is not funny to me anymore.
Hiding behind the pretext that not all of your audience understands the Igbo language, is no license to throw all decorum out the window.
Our job is not only to entertain, but to educate, inform and propagate culture by subtly reshaping perceptions.
This is a case for the film and video censors board; NFVCB. He is funny no doubt, but kids are watching.”
