Veteran Nollywood star Nkem Owoh, fondly called Osuofia, has a reason to beam with excitement as he approaches his 70th birthday on February 7th.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the seasoned actor greeted fans with warm wishes for a prosperous new month and reflected on his upcoming milestone.
I’m excited to share with you all that I’ll be turning 70 years old on February 7th,” Nkem Owoh announced with joy. “It’s a big milestone, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with friends and family.”
Fans and celebrities alike flooded his comments section with congratulatory messages. One user, @pharm_dre, wrote, “God is good,” while another, @leponky, added, “Wish you the best, sir.” Others, like @holy_claire, referred to him as a “living legend,” extending early birthday wishes.
This upcoming celebration comes as a breath of fresh air following the challenging loss the actor faced in 2023 when his daughter succumbed to liver cancer. The tragedy left Owoh and his family grappling with grief, but the actor found solace in the outpouring of love and support from fans and colleagues. “When tragedy strikes, there’s nothing more comforting than knowing you’re not alone,” he shared during that time.
Meanwhile, Nkem Owoh’s career and opinions remain in the spotlight. His recent comments praising Nollywood’s global competitiveness sparked a debate, with media personality Daddy Freeze disagreeing. According to Freeze, Nollywood still lags behind international standards, though he acknowledged that Nigerian music has reached a global benchmark.
As Owoh prepares to mark this milestone birthday, his fans and colleagues eagerly look forward to celebrating the legendary actor who has brought joy to screens for decades.
