Nollywood veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu has reacted to the recent attack on him by Tinsel actor, Gideon Okeke, who slammed him (Agu) for using vulgar words in movies.
Okeke recently took to his instagram page to attack Agu for the use of crude words in films.
He wrote, “You know him as the wicked uncle in films, but I need to check the sanity of my ears and mind whenever he comes on screen…the measure of liberty this actor enjoys from directors and producers to improvise vulgarities in movies is not funny anymore…hiding behind the pretext that not all your audience understands Igbo language is no excuse to throw all decorum out of the window…this is a case for the Film and Video Censors Board…”
However, after several attacks from his fans, Gideon deleted the post.
Reacting, Agu, who is known for his slangs in movies, said he doesn’t know Okeke existed as an actor.
“Let him leave the censors board to do their job, or does he work with them? Anybody can say anything or come to whatever conclusion they please. The viewers would judge whether I use vulgar words in movies or not.
“People who watch movies are the ultimate judges. I do not even know who Gideon Okeke is; I do not think I have ever heard his name. If people like AMAA are talking to me about this, I would know how to react appropriately. But this is an individual I do not even know. He has his own style, and I have mine which has won me awards all over the continent and even beyond.”
Speaking further, he said, “This is the first time anyone will be accusing me of vulgarity. Others have been hailing me. What we do is satire; we are re-enacting what happens in the society.
“People I have encountered and those who have called me have been full of praise for me. It will also interest you to know that I am the highest award-winning actor in Africa. I have 47 awards to my name; and the second person behind me has not even got up to 10 awards.
“Two years ago, I took two cows to church to celebrate and thank God for giving me the highest number of awards in Africa. Secondly, I have done 727 productions. It is a rare record in Africa.
“I am also the current holder of the Best Veteran Actor award which was given to me in Ohio, United States of America. People like Olu Jacobs and other time-tested Nollywood practitioners were nominated for that same award but I was chosen. My record is the best in all ramifications. I have spent about 35 years in the movie industry, and I am a big pillar of Nollywood.”
“Even former President Goodluck Jonathan confessed about three years ago that whenever he travels out of the country, foreign leaders ask after people like me, Jim Iyke, and Genevieve Nnaji. Because of that, he put N3bn into Nollywood’s account, and asked the former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to manage the funds for Nollywood.
“This fund is still open to Nollywood practitioners. It goes without saying that I am very big in Nollywood. I am a father, legend, and icon,” he told Punch.
Oh yes, Chiwetelu Agu does have bragging rights! When people try to rubbish you, use your achievements to humble them. Well done Sir
ReplyDeleteLoud it my dear!!!
DeleteOga Agu please stop teaching our children evil in the name of movie biko.
DeleteRide on Sir,nothing do u.
DeleteStella u nor see as Gideon just disgrace himself.
Respect your elders, dem no no go hear.Now see
Exactly. I won't even fault anything he said.
DeleteDon't even know where I stand on this issue!
DeleteWhat I don't like is those attacking Gideon on the basis of Chiwetalu being an elder!
I feel the critisms on Gideon should be based on whether he is right or wrong over what he said!
However, I am not so much a fan of Chiwetalu and don't even laugh over those stuffs he says; but I never termed it vulgar in my mind. Just felt it was his own way of distinguishing himself from others...
Gideon lessons from ur bold ignorant exhibition...
Delete1. Learn to respect ur elders
2. Even when u make sense, use d appropriate channel (#effective communication - GS101)
3. Do not callbd censors board ineffective in broad daylight
4. Also do not call producers stupid for indulging an old man
5. When u live in a glass house do not throw stones I.e. remove d log in ur eyes before criticizing d speck in another's
(Do not act love scene in PG rated series and point out vulgarity in 18 rated movies - note d difference 'series' and 'movies'
6. Take sometime and undersrand d implicarion of d ratings. It eill help ur already ailing career.
7. If u do not like an actor in a movie, do 'eyes right' and swerve. Some people find u obnoxious and do not watch ur series
7. Loosen up a bit and loose d chip on ur shoulders, life is so difficult but tough for d blind who do not see any good in others
8. Every genre has it's viewership therefore dey ur lane.
9. When u attack one elder, d rest of them look at u with d corner of their eyes.
Good night.
Funny enough I love his movies, nothing do you jare
DeleteBut really, I dunno who the other guy is. 🤔🤔🤔
DeleteHe achieved a lot with his style so Master Okeke tell us what you have achieved?
DeleteOkechukwu let your children watch cartoon. Africa Magic is for adults!
DeleteOkechuckwu that is why there's PG18 boldly written on movies. There are movies with erotic scenes and yet no one calls the actors out, this Gideon kisses and smooches in movies too so what's the biggy? Africans can play saint eh when their heart is black. Mchewwwww
DeleteHe hit the head on the nail, errr..i mean the nail on the head I beg your pardon..
ReplyDeleteEnd of story!
Case closed..
Any celeb or non celeb that re-opens this case would be penalized.
Dum Spiro spero.

DeleteAnon 19.36, chiwetalu Agu has never said such biko, get your facts right
DeleteIf it vulgar the censor board will decide. There is nothing he says that is new to the ear so don't act like he says somethings out of this world. Is your choice to watch. By the way he has noticed you congrats.

DeleteDon't mind Gideon. He's a silly boy. I like the way chinwetalu agu bragged about his achievements jare.
DeleteGideon be careful so you don't fall ill and die young. Ma je ki w'on di eru ti k'in she tie si e l'ori(ask ur yoruba friends to interprete for u). I know people that have been attacked because 'enu w'on wa rough'. Face your career. Mind your business. It does not cost 'THEM' anything to make you irrelevant in the entertainment industry, you will just notice that no jobs will come your way again. Mind your business. Face your front.
ReplyDeleteOloshi ni Gideon, olori nla, ori agbaye, massive head with no sense. He must think he is relevant in the industry. Dude is deluded.
DeleteChiwetalu's side chick
Words of an elder. Don't mind him.
DeleteResponse of life

DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
Agu makes me laugh Kai! Even though I don't always understand what he is saying. The body language alone, lol... As for Gideon apart from Tinsel which other movies has he acted? I need to see a broader form of his acting skills than the fine boy he plays on Tinsel. Any one suggest any?😏🙅
ReplyDeleteHow can a head be that big with no sense? How many people watch tinsel? Gideon, you can't even rub shoulders with the likes of Blossom, Alex Ekubo, ewu!!!
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick

DeleteThat Gideon is just so stupid for coming to say that on instagram..Even if what he said was right,u should never talk bad about a colleague on SM...I dnt even knw him sef..Stupid fellow
ReplyDeleteOlder colleague oh, lousy scoundrel with no respect.
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
Mr Man you are no where close to Olu Jacobs when it comes to acting.acting . Don't delude yourself because of some irrelevant award
ReplyDeleteGbam!
DeleteTell him.
DeleteHe didn't say he is better. He only said to the glory of God, he won that category. Do you get?
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
Ra nsi there, you guys cant help been tribal. You had to use the moniker utchey to perpetuate your stupidity.
DeleteYou can say that again.
DeleteComparing himself to Olu Jacobs as what? The guts!
Reduce your use of trashy words and you talking some shitty awards.
Ppl say they love it? Why not? Some dumb Nigerians celebrating silly things. That is why govt keeps depriving them of their right and they keep saying e go better. Suffering and smiling.
Fools,bunch of idiots!
Shantel were alaso, is it your vulgar language? Must you watch it ?? People like you will watch x- rated films and all manner of rubbish, bloody hypocrites.It is okay for the huge headed Gideon to kiss and touch ladies abi? That one is morally acceptable.
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
He only said dey were nominated but he was choosen.he didn't say he is beta nor comparing himsef wit Olu. U guys jst open ur mouth and start dishing trash.no sense
DeleteGbam! Can remember the day I saw Olu in an Old Hollywood movie. As in old wey be say the picture quality dey somehow. I thought 'this looks like olu' only to see the cast name rolling out and I saw 'Olu Jacobs' I almost bowed down before my TV screen. He acted as a civil war soldier in that movie. That man has paid his dues Abeg. He may not have as many awards but he is an undisputable pillar.

Delete@shantelle therz sth called grace nd favour. Look it up.
DeleteBoth are legend in their field and each has their role that suits them
Av seen some roles by Jacob where he acts similar to Agu nd carries it off.
Its their career and they are perfect in playin out scripts so pls slow down on the name calling it does not become you milady.

Of course his nasty words will keep making idiots like you laugh. Ewu! Ewu!!
DeleteHow dare you okechukwu call a woman an idiot. What the hell, this just shows the kind of man you are, cause someone doesn't agree with your opinion you call the woman an idiot. Yes I am taking this personal, I don't even know who she is, what kind of home did you grow up in. What gives u that right, who raised you, you must be a woman beater. I am so angry right now and yet you call yourself a man. Nonsense and ingredents
DeleteOkechukwu the poverty stricken degenerate, who knows you? What are your achievements? Are you successful? How much is your account balance as at today? Hungry frustrated lion.
DeleteChiwetalu's Sidechick
Fool
DeleteOkey stop the name calling.
DeleteIf u don't like his movies its simple CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
I like how he portrays acts that we turn blind eyes to or don't even know exist.
If his comments like MMIRI AMAA EFI NA ANYA A cracks some nd leaves some unmoved well shit happens but don't foist your opinion on others.
Thank you.
Thanks for the information Agu...
ReplyDeleteDs money u mentioned is open to Nollywood and actors are dying/suffering from different kinds of illness and seeking for help outside the wood industry.
ReplyDeleteI wonder o
DeleteOya Gideon shebi you have heard him ... he doesn't know you .
ReplyDeleteLmao
And he doesnt know Tony 1week too abi?
DeleteLying old man,repent.
He just finished him with that statement.
DeleteMy boo Agu doesn't know Gideon or Tony one week abi na Tony one month. It is not by force to know somebody. We only know people who are relevant, kappish.
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
And you are relevant as a cheap ass side chick?
DeleteAnumpama,mechie onu!
Uncle we didn't ask how big or how many awards you have won. All we ask is for you to be a little censored, it's not too much to ask. Some of your slangs are cringe worthy.
ReplyDeleteGbenusoun, I am sure you watch all them romance movies where they have sex and pwess breast, hypocrite.
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
Torh! The main topic of discuss is one thing and he is talking another to brush it aside.

@Tee_y
Too much information. You ppl have billions in your account yet you'll still be begging struggling Nigerians to contribute to your sick colleagues. What a shame
ReplyDeleteMy boo is reserved and minds his business. Gideon wants to shine with an elder's name so my boo had to set the records straight, no time.Gideon the failed actor, how market?
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
This is why nigeria will never progress. While i dont entirely agree with the WAY Gideon went about it, his points were absolutely valid. The issue here is censorship. Forget that gideon is calling out a seasoned actor and forget that garbage about elder this and elder that...you cannot have 10 yr olds watching daytime movies with this man saying the sort of nonsense thay he does in the name of acting. CENSORSHIP is the issue. The right agency will not take it up o....he has answered gideon now and told him about how many awards he has won and the matter will die here. Later parents will srart shouting when their children start saying nasty things. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWhy would your 10 year old be watching such movies? Thank God you said 10 year old. All you irresponsible parents should start being responsible. When I was 10, I was watching cartoon and tales by moonlight. How about all those Nigerian movies where they attempt sex scenes, ladies are scantily dressed, somebody is squeezing somebody's bom or kissing the other. Why have you wailing wailers not addressed that?
DeleteChiwetalu's sidechick
i prefer my children watching Agu's movies than watching the porn movies Okeke makes
DeleteThats why we have JIM JAM and DISNEY WORLD and paperback classics like FAMOUS FIVE AND CO.
Deleteparents should introduce reading culture to their kids nd stop exposing them to TV.
So Goodluck gave them that much and they cant help thier sick colleagues..... Na wa o

ReplyDeleteBut I thought movies have producers/directors etc.....why blame Chief Agu....abi is it not a producer/director wants you to in a movie you will do??
ReplyDeleteGideon, you better be careful before before an unknown force tempers with your carrier o... Know your limit. This is Naija biko
ReplyDeleteMind ur business gideon
ReplyDeleteI will take Gideon Okeke. Over agu anyday. Not a fan of Agu n will never be. Gideon next time just write a letter to the appropriate quarters. Ehugs for you,
ReplyDeleteThis is epic.
ReplyDeleteBut what are we even talking about sef? Almost all home videos come with a disclaimer that the movies are not suitable for viewers under 16 and sometimes include the logo of Strong Languauge and Valence.. All the parents needs to do is to caution their kids under the said age not to watch and regulate the number of home videos watched in the home. Abeg make dem leave Agu alone, he is only acting out a script. Parents should learn to adhere to the age limit always displayed on d screen
ReplyDeleteGideon atakwanu cucumber Chidimma!
ReplyDeleteThis will be his next punch line in another movie...
