[edit] Aki and Pawpaw

The Nollywood twins Osita and Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki met each other at an audition in 2001 here, Aki and Pawpaw were born. Both of them said they are more like brothers than colleagues as they share the same flat, height, weight and talent, so either both of them are cast in a movie or neither. They first paired in Aki Na Ukwa and their performance in that film took them to the limelight.
