An illustrator and writer known as Sugabelly on Twitter has referred to Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, as a ‘really bad actor’.
Sugabelly, who has a verification badge on Twitter, criticised Pete on Wednesday saying that the actor has been playing the role of an elder all his life.

“Pete Edochie is a really bad actor. He’s been playing the same role his entire life.
“Acting isn’t quoting proverbs. But Nigerians live and die by seniority so the older he gets, the less anybody is able to point this glaring elephant in the room out,” she wrote.
She said about Joke Silva that the actress ‘overacts’ and also referred to her as non-versatile.
“Joke Silva is a pretty good actress but she overacts a lot. Not through her movements but through her voice. She always sounds as if she’s reciting Shakespeare when she’s meant to be chatting with her adult child at breakfast. Also, she doesn’t have much variation in roles,” the writer wrote.
In reaction to the disqualification of Genevieve Nnaji’s Lionheart from Oscars 2020, Sugabelly added that Nigeria should have submitted the movie Nneka the Pretty Serpent for Oscars consideration when she had the chance.

According to Sugabelly’s website, in 2010, she invented a new writing system for the Igbo language called ‘Ndebe’.
She said about herself that she likes to have fun by developing new logograms.
