Finally, Osita Ohime, popularly known as Paw-Paw will be getting a national award just like his screen twin, Chinedu Ikedieze(Aki) who was accorded recognition last year by the federal government amid controversy.
It would be recalled that stakeholders in the movie industry raised dust, following the inability of the government to accord the same recognition to Paw-Paw when his contemporary, Chinedu Ikedieze was honored last year.
The stakeholders argued that both diminutive actors started their careers same time, featured in the same movies and won many laurels together and therefore deserved to be honored jointly.
Osita Iheme will be among the six Nollywood stars announced on Thursday by the government as recipients for this year’s National awards. He will be honored with the Member of the Federal Republic (MFR) award. He will be honored alongside notable actors and actresses including Olu Jacobs, Genevieve Nnaji, Stephanie Okereke, Amaka Igwe and Kanayo O Kanayo.
