Zubby Michael Vs Timini Egbuson: When Two Adults Play Like Kids
THE raging war of words between Nollywood actors, Zubby Michael and Timini Egbuson, on who is the “best actor in Africa", aside from being needless and childish, has exposed what really goes on in the minds of some of these entertainers. Zubby Michael said in a TV reality show recently: “I was coming from Paris and we had to do this thing in the festivals, obviously being the best actor in Africa… I have been acting for about 13 years now and I’ve won awards. I’ve done everything basically and I believe I am the best.”
“Stop f** king playing, he’s kidding. It’s not coming from a place of pride but I’m the biggest actor in Africa.”
“Let me tell you why I’m bigger than Timini, if Timini crosses Sagamu, nobody knows him and I’m not abusing you. Your fame ends in Lekki but I’ve conquered the Youtube market, the DVD market, and now cinemas.”
Timini, in his response, said: “You literally act the same character in every movie my bro. How can you be bigger than me?”
Zubby said: “Again, it’s not coming from a place of pride o, but I can buy Timini.”
Timini retorted: “I did not know enough about Michael to make such a statement.”
Truly, Zubby Michael, T4T knows very well even though like Timini said, he plays the same character in every movie ( that one nor be lie at all), but give it to him, he has made a big name for himself in the industry, but who is Timini Egbuson? T4T had to Google him all over and yes, he has done some works too but if an award for the “Best Actor in Africa" is to be given to one of them, it will be Zubby Michael. Wait o, I hope Timini's Pere role in A Tribe Called Judah is not the one shacking him o. That movie is just like another middle class Nollywood home video despite it being reputed to be the highest grossing Nigeria movie. With its shallow depth, A Tribe Called Judah should not shack any actor who played the role of a petty thief and pickpocket.
Conclusion : Zubby Michael and Timini Egbuson should shift to one corner. We have bigger fishes to fry in this country at the moment especially with the biting economic situation, nor be to dey listen to two small adults bickering over an infantile issue.
