Nkem Owoh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nkem Owoh is a Nigerian comedian and movie actor. He starred in the 2003 film Osuofia in London. [1]. The Nigerian Daily Sun has described him as a "king of comedy". [2] In 2004 Owoh was one of several actors who was temporarily banned from appearing in movies by Nigeria's Association of Movie Marketers and Producers, who argued that the actors demanded excessive fees and unreasonable contract demands. ("Ripples over banned movie stars" AllAfrica, October 22, 2004)
There have been rumours of Nkem Owoh being paid 1.8 million Naira for this film (~$14000 US Dollars), although in reality he may have earned substantially more than that, considering his popularity, and that the movie was filmed across two continents.
He is also known for performing the song "I Go Chop Your Dollar" about advance fee fraud.
