Show Notes
This is a bonus episode of Tea with Tay, brought to you in partnership with Tiger Beer, sitting down with Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe the man behind Odogwu Parara for a conversation over a cold one about fame, faith, and the long road it took to get there.
Uzor traces the path from a third-class degree in economics he’s never admitted to publicly before, to losing his corporate job at Etisalat for sneaking off to auditions, to over a year of silence where no gigs came at all. He talks about the phone call that interrupted his own prayer session and became his first real break, and the YouTube shoot a job he almost didn’t finish after his co-star fainted on set that turned into the most-watched thing he’s ever done.
It’s a conversation that moves from real talk to bants capped off with a Tiger Beer tasting and a rapid-fire round that gets Uzor to admit things he probably didn’t plan on saying on camera.
