If you recall, Pete Edochie was kidnapped few years back and was also rumoured to be dead last year. This has made him to be wary of journalist, but this reporter from Tribune, Joan Omionawele counted herself lucky to have been allowed to grant
Tribune Reports:
Scheduling an interview with Pete Edochie seems like an assignment of a lifetime. There have been stories about him being a no-nonsense man, and someone who had been wary of journalists since he was kidnapped a few years back. Even his movie roles as a wicked ritualist, Igwe or strict father did not help matters either.
He did not pick his phone the first time, but when he eventually did, one had a momentary fear of rejection, which had been the lot of many before now.
"Good afternoon sir. My name is Joan from the Saturday Tribune. We haven't heard from you in a while; we have missed your movies and your proverbs, and I would like to schedule an interview with you."
He seemed to pull back a little and I felt 'Well, if he says no, too bad.' But he laughed softly and said, "Joan, your name is pronounced 'J-o-n-e' not 'Jo-anne'; why have you decided to spoil your name? When I was younger, I trained in the British Broadcasting Corporation. You dared not pronounce names that way."
