Davido now into movie acting

Davido goes into acting
Expanding his horizon is what i would like to
call it, I stumbled upon this on punch news and
want to share.
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has
become a force in the Nigerian music scene.
Now, the young man wants to try his luck in the
make-believe world as he launches into
Nollywood.
Courtesy of his cousin, Ikechukwu Ojeogwu, a
rookie producer, Davido will be a part of
Ojeogwu’s debut film, John Zerebe.
Ojeogwu, who told Saturday Beats that Teco
Benson would be directing the film, insisted he
was featuring Davido in the movie because he
(Davido) fitted the role.
“I didn’t use him because he is my cousin. I
didn’t use him to sell the movie as well. David
fitted very well into the role and we had to use
him as well,” Ojeogwu said.
The young producer, who is also playing the
lead role in the movie, said he was yet to get
the lead actress in the movie.
“I would have loved Genevieve to be the lead
actress but I think everything depends on the
director, Teco. He would be in a better position
to know who should be the lead actress,” he
said.
The Babcock University Banking and Finance
graduate said he got into the movies for his love
of the industry.
“I have always wanted to be in the movies. I
have a passion for acting. I have featured in the
popular sitcom, The Bella’s Place. This is not a
one off thing; I intend to be a force in the movie
industry,” he said.
His mother, nee Adeleke, married his father from
Delta State but Ojeogwu said all members of his
family have been supportive, including his
mother’s siblings.
“I have learnt a lot from my uncles. They
support me in whatever I want to do. I learn
from them as well. I am not getting into the
movie industry to be as popular as David, my
cousin. This is just what I love doing and not
because of the fame that comes with it,” he
said.
Goodluck to OBO.
