Twitter wars: This one is just looking for attention, Nigerians lambaste Sugabelly for saying Pete Edochie is a bad actor
Lotanna Odunze, widely regarded to as Sugabelly, earlier today, Wednesday, November 6, 2019, tweeted that actor Pete Edochie is a bad actor.
“Pete Edochie is a really bad actor,” she tweeted.
Odunze made the statement in a series of tweets, where she gave the reasons for her opinion on the acting abilities of the veteran actor.
“…He’s been playing the same role his entire life. Acting isn’t quoting proverbs. But Nigerians live and die by seniority so the older he gets, the less anybody is able to point this glaring elephant in the room out,” She opined.
Sugabelly runs an online platform where the Igbo language is being taught for a fee.
The illustrator maintains that Hollywood actors like Leonardo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt rank high as versatile and good actors.
Sugar Belly’s criticism comes a day after reports came out that Genevieve Nnaji’s film ‘Lionheart’ was disqualified from Oscars nomination by the Oscars selection committee for speaking too much English in the film.
Fans of the Nigerian movie star, however, won’t have any of Igwe-Odunze’s take on Nollywood and they are gunning for her head.
See some of their reactions below:

Omg this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen ! You clearly haven’t watched half of hos movies! And the ppl that liked this are all stupid !

1st off, This is Nigeria… Our movies invariably fall into 3 categories at most.
Now inside the 3, how many varying roles are there for a man his age??
Lets not even mention that in Naija, excelling in a role means you will get cast in it over and over again.
Plis dear…

Have you seen his movies from when he was younger? Things fall apart? Even the one he played Idi Amin?. This your narrative is not it chief

Best response so far ? ? ? . watch a man act in his old age and conclude he can’t act, proper research would’ve prevented this tweet.
He definitely didn’t get this far in his career based on retweets and blessing the timeline.— Imanu3l (@envyimmanuel) November 6, 2019
You re saying rubbish,Pete Edochie is one of the best thing that happened in @NollywoodNG He is a great veteran played every role perfectly n deserve more than u do

TBH I never really seen Pete edochie as an actor. Mans a movie star. If you hire Pete edochie for a role, you know exactly what you’re getting. There are foreign verisins of this too, like Ian McKellen & Dwayne Johnson, They play whatever character they get as themselves.

I know this handle, same person that said hyper realism drawing is the most basic form of art.
Your clout chasing self will always be as irrelevant as the K in Knife. Rest

Jay Z should stop been a rapper and start singing Ballard so we know he is just not a rapper? man is too good on that role that you never get tired of seeing him act it. You can be doing same thing over and over and still be good, he needs not play other roles to satisfy you.
