Kenneth Okonkwo (born November 6, 1968) is a pioneer Nigerian actor, known for his role in the movie Living in Bondage as Andy Okeke.
In 2013 he won the African Movie Academy Award on a Special Recognition of Pillars of Nollywood.
In 2015 he was given a special recognition award by the organisers of the City People Entertainment Awards for his contribution to the growth of entertainment in Nigeria.
He is today a lawyer and politician.
The way this guy disconnected himself from Nollywood to a better cause is a clear indication of someone who knows what he truly wants in life.
He understood time and season, he would probably not have remained A-list actor if he had remained in today’s industry filled with mediocrity and bunch of talentless folks who chose drama over realness, and that could have ended his career.
As a veteran, he paid his dues and took a bow to become a very important lawyer of note in Nigeria, today, he’s more prosperous than what he used to be in the film industry.
So many veterans have worn out and died because they lack vision, they wanted to remain in the industry forever without understanding that fame in Nigeria does not last forever.
