\nContrary to insinuation that there is a \u2018love-lost\u2019 between him and his screen twin,Chinedu Ikedieze a.k.a Aki, following last year\u2019s national award which was bestowed on the former. Osita Iheme popularly called Paw-paw , has stated that \u201cthey are still the best of friends.\u2019<\/p>\n

Aki was one of the distinguished Nigerians who were accorded recognition last year by the Federal Government. A gesture which generated controversy as many stakeholders within the the movie sector blamed the Government for failing to extend the same treatment to the other actor.<\/p>\n

Revisiting the matter, last Sunday, while in a chat with HVP, Pawpaw said \u2018I was happy for Chinedu. I have never had any cause to disagree with him, even when he was honoured last year by the Federal Government, I was there to support him. The media gave it a hype just to sell their products.<\/p>\n

Pawpaw however expressed optimism that his own award is progress. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel bad because I was honoured alongside Aki. I know that my own award is on the way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also explained why Aki was not starred in the wave-making movie, \u201cMirror Boy\u201d produced by Obi Emelonye , which featured himself alongside Genevieve Nnaji and many other international actor.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cone of us was supposed to be featured in the movie, and the producer contacted me. I have featured in many movies without him. But there are some roles that would require both of us to be on set.\u201d
