Yule Edochie Celebrates Father Pete Edochie as he Turns 70 Today

One of Africa’s most talented actors, Pete Edochie is a year older today, March 7. He was born on the 7th of March, 1947 in Enugu, Nigeria. And as expected, many have started paying homage to him, most of all his last born and Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie.

”Happy 70th birthday to my father Chief Pete Edochie. Many more great years i wish you. God be with you always Dad!” Yul shared on his Instagram page this morning.

The Nollywood veteran and father of six has starred in hundreds of movies and still gets major roles since his breakthrough in the ’80s, when he left radio broadcasting to pursue a career in acting.

He once said there are few people in Nigeria that speak English as well as he does because he studied English and was trained by the BBC.
