Uzor Arukwe is currently the hottest celebrity in the entertainment industry. Yesterday, I came across the video for a sponsored post he did with BamBam for a financial app, where they recreated the Odogwu and Achalugo characters and to be very honest, I was smiling again for the duration of the 2 minutes. The comments on both his page and IG were begging them to make the advert longer next time.
On YouTube, any movie you come across has his face on the poster. Itβs just like producers and directors are cashing in on the Odogwu wave to feature him in their movies. Nobody even send lover boy, Maurice Sam and his movies again.
Brands are not left out too. Sterling bank also joined the train this evening and itβs like everyone wants to have him on their brand.
He reminds me of prime Nkem Owoh who flows naturally with the movie delivering humor without even trying so hard.
A proper Odogwu on and off the screen!
