‘I’m Alive’ – Pete Edochie Slams Fresh Death Rumours.

Published

on

Legendary Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has once again dismissed rumours of his death, expressing frustration over what he called a long-standing hoax that has followed him for years.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The veteran actor, famously known as Ebubedike, revealed that he has been falsely reported dead at least seven times, calling the claims baseless and mischievous.

In a phone interview with Vanguard on Tuesday, Edochie emphasized that he is alive and in good health. “I’m alive and will die when my maker calls me home,” he said.

The 78-year-old recalled several instances of fake death reports, including claims that he died abroad or in a plane crash. “There was a time they said I travelled abroad and died there. At other times, they claimed the plane I boarded from Enugu to Ethiopia crashed, and I didn’t survive,” he said.

He also shared a disturbing moment involving his wife: “One morning, my wife got a call saying she heard I had passed away that day. Last year, someone from Ghana even claimed I was already in the grave,” Edochie added.

The actor said he draws strength from a lesson shared by the late nationalist Nnamdi Azikiwe, whom he once interviewed. “Zik taught me that anyone wishing you death will die before you. All those who wished him harm died before him. That lesson has stayed with me,” he explained.

Edochie, who will turn 79 on March 7, attributed his good health to family longevity. “My father lived to 96, so longevity runs in my family,” he noted.

A recipient of the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) and the AMVCA Industry Merit Award, Edochie remains one of Nollywood’s most respected icons.

Despite repeated death hoaxes dating back to 2012, the veteran actor continues to enjoy admiration from fans across Nigeria and beyond.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
