He said though life has not been that rosy, with great determination and commitment he has been able to attain some successes in life to glory to God.

Edochie, considered one of Africa’s most talented actors, has featured in hundreds of award-winning movies and stage plays both in Nigeria and abroad.

He began his career as a seasoned administrator and broadcaster with the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) Enugu station, before he came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in an NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s best selling novel, “Things Fall Apart.”

He had his primary education at Saint Patrick’s and Saint James Primary School, Zaria in Kaduna State, and later proceeded to Saint John’s Secondary School, Kaduna.
