Legendary actor Edochie who was a former broadcaster with the old Anambra Broadcasting Service, Enugu and the British Broadcasting Corporation (English and Hausa service) has acted in hordes of Nigerian movies and shared same sets with Orji in many Igbo and English movies.
Both stars have featured together in movies like Evil Men, Royal Reincarnation, Kingdom Of Calamities, Sacred Warriors etc.
Taking to his Facebook page on Monday, Orji heaped plaudits on the Nteje, Anambra state – born celebrant and called on fans to pray for long life for him.
“EBUBEDIKE is 75 today.🔥,” Orji said hailing the Nteje high chief.
“If he’s made all of us happy over the years and still doing more, please let’s pray to God to keep him strong in good health for many more years to come.
“Happy birthday to you, a Big brother and a senior professional colleague.💪❤️🙏,” Orji wrote.
The number 7 is a lucky one for the Edochie family as the youngest child of the family and another Nollywood star actor Yul Edochie marked his 40th birthday on January 7 this year.
