| Okezie Morro |
If the name
seems unfamiliar now, I’ll forgive you. But in a few months, he’ll be a
household movie name and then the famzing
will begin.
Let me beat
you all to it sha.
Okezie Morro,
(born Okezie “O.C.” Madubuko), is a British born Nigerian stage and film actor.
He was born in the early eighties and had his early growing up in FESTAC Lagos
Nigeria before relocating permanently to the UK in the late 80s.
A versatile
breed, Okezie’s initial passion was for sport and he excelled in track and
field as well as football (he almost signed up for Liverpool in the 90s before
a freak knee injury put paid to that dream).

His athletic dreams also suffered a setback because of this injury. However, he had excelled in junior championships representing the UK in numerous events.
Too much
information, shey?
Anyway,
Okezie’s my 1st cousin and he’s in town for MTV Shuga, in which he
plays a character called Ekene.
When Shuga Season 3 drop, una go see
am.

Interestingly,
Okezie got married only a few days before he was beckoned to the motherland yet
he jumped at the opportunity to touch base with home.
So on Sunday
he paid the wife and I a visit, got to watch Liverpool nip Manchester United at
a local pub (no free beer Ads, sorry) and shared his experiences with an
aspiring young film maker, Genesis “ the Geneos” William (another name you need
to remember).
