Nkem Owoh is a Nigerian comedian and movie actor. His name, Nkem, means "My own".[1] He starred in the 2003 film Osuofia in London.[2] The Nigerian Daily Sun has described him as a "king of comedy". [3] In 2004 Owoh was one of several actors who was temporarily banned from appearing in movies by Nigeria's Association of Movie Marketers and Producers, who argued that the actors demanded excessive fees and unreasonable contract demands. [4]
There have been rumors of Nkem Owoh being paid 1.75 million Naira for this film (~$14000 US Dollars), although in reality he may have earned substantially more than that, considering his popularity, and that the movie was filmed across two continents.
He is also known for performing the song "I Go Chop Your Dollar" about advance fee fraud. The song was featured in the film The Master in which Owoh plays a scammer.[5] The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission banned the song.[6]
