My marriage has lasted more than 50 years, and people call me a good family man. My wife and I joined broadcasting the same year. She later went to study law and returned. In all those years, nobody has come to beg me to stop beating her, because it has never happened. I never learned that from my father.

A man should be able to pick the bills in his home. I have never asked my wife how much she earns or what she received as gratuity. That is her business. When you go to pay bride price, the father often returns most of the money and tells you to take care of his daughter. That trust is sacred. You must honour it.

I have spent decades on screen playing difficult roles, including ritual people and dangerous men, and some people cannot separate character from actor. They see me on the road and start calling me names from films, as if I carry those things in real life. I laugh, but I also worry, because it shows how strongly stories can shape the mind of a viewer.

That is why I insist that while we tell dark stories, we must show clearly what happens at the end. The criminal should not end as a hero. The man who makes money by wickedness should face judgment in the story. Film is powerful enough to set ideas in society. If we use it well, it can warn, correct, and guide, not just entertain. That is the Nollywood I want to leave behind.

When I was starting as an actor, rejection was normal. I attended so many auditions that I lost count. Sometimes, out of maybe two hundred trials, I would get only one tiny role, like a walk past. People would ask what I really did for a living, because they could not see any big result yet.

One mentor told me something strong. If you are not ready for rejection, you are not ready for Nollywood. So I made up my mind. Every no would push me to the next audition, not send me home to quit. I kept showing up, kept learning, kept believing that one day the right role would meet the prepared version of me. That stubborn faith and persistence helped me cross many closed doors.

Growing up, I moved from place to place. My dad had three wives. I stayed with him and his second wife. After he died, I went back to my mum. I did not finish secondary school there. Life just pushed me again and again like small breeze.

Later I came to Lagos to stay with my aunt. She gave me space in her house and put me back in school. I finished secondary school, then went to Federal College of Education in Akoka, then University of Lagos. Many children get lost on that kind of road. I thank God I did not disappear inside the struggle.

I love Nigeria with all my heart, but sometimes this country really hurts me. I say Nigeria is like an abusive lover in my life. One day I am upset and tell myself I am done with this place. Two days later, I am back, smiling and working again. I keep asking why I still care so much, but my heart will not let go.

When it becomes too much, I travel and breathe for a while. I clear my head, rest my mind, then I come back to work again. I think many Nigerians feel this way. We complain, we cry, but we still love this country deeply. We keep hoping things will get better and we keep trying to do our own little part.

Our baby came at 26 weeks. That is very early. Before that, my wife had many health problems. There were fibroids, long hospital stays, injections, and days when she could not even eat. I was flying between Nigeria and the United States, trying to work and still be by her side.

When Wonder arrived, we had to leave her in the hospital for eighty days. You hold your child, then walk away and go home alone. You see your baby only through glass and small machines. It was painful and scary, but we kept trusting God. We held on to the promise that his will is better than our plans.

My interest in politics did not appear overnight. A close friend, John, who later became a politician, once told me that charity is good, but policy touches more people at once. His words stayed in my spirit. I had already been doing charity work and trying to help individuals, but I started thinking about how laws and structures affect millions at the same time.

That is why the idea of representing a constituency in parliament interests me. Not because of status, but because decisions made in that house can shape the creative industry, education and youth opportunities. I am still praying and thinking carefully, because leadership is weighty. If I ever step fully into that arena, it will be to serve, not to chase power.

When I started in Nollywood, there was a time I even wanted to change my name because I did not want people to know I was Pete Edochie’s son. I thought the name would make people support me, but most times, it made some people look at me differently.

Some people acted like I came to take something from them. Some acted like I wanted special treatment. But I was ready to work. I was ready to audition. I was ready to start small and prove myself.

I believe if you stay around long enough and keep knocking, opportunity will come. I knocked for about two years, doing little roles here and there, until the big one came. That was how it started.

After my kids came, some things simply stopped making sense to me. Staying in the club till morning and then waking up tired while my daughters wanted to play did not feel right anymore. That does not mean life must be boring, but my definition of fun began to change.

Now I enjoy simple moments at home, school runs, silly conversations, and weekend breakfasts more than any table in a club. Fatherhood made me see that I am no longer living only for myself. Every decision, from the work I accept to the risks I take, carries their faces in my mind, and that responsibility guides me every day. I still work in entertainment, but I carry a quiet awareness that two small girls are learning about life by watching how I live mine.

At one small church meeting, I prayed for people and something unexpected happened. As I laid hands on them, some started falling under the power of God. Others pulled out their phones and began recording. Those clips travelled fast, and suddenly headlines appeared saying I had become a pastor. The media crowned me with a title I never announced for myself.

I always make it clear: I am not an ordained pastor. I have not attended seminary. I simply see myself as a representative of the kingdom of God in the creative space. I study, I speak, I share what I understand. If that blesses people, wonderful. But I do not chase labels; I chase clarity, truth and real transformation.
