The news that a former Tahidi High actor was the love-child of Pete Edochie a.k.a Okonkwo was broken by a Nigerian website: NigeriaFilms.com .

The site claimed that during a phone interview with the actor/model, Ephy Saint disclosed that Edochie was his father, but Edochie had fervently denied this. That was in 2013, 2 years on, Nigerians have not let this go and during an interview with Vanguard, the love child issue was brought up again.

And a seemingly annoyed Edochie disclosed how he feels about this issue
“It doesn’t make sense. I don’t need it. Why? Why didn’t he come to Nigeria? I have never been to Kenya before. Where did I meet his mother? I am not a wayward person. Peter (pointing at the man) has been my Personal Assistant for over 17 years. If I were a sexually adventurous person, he wouldn’t have stayed with me for this long. But each time somebody calls me he picks up the phone. Somebody brought the story from the internet and showed it to me.” he says.

Before heatedly adding that “One slim character like that. He looked like a cattle rearer. He said: “Somehow I think Pete Edochie is my father.” Well! Let him come to Nigeria and meet his father. But he hasn’t embarked on the journey yet. Like I said, such things don’t bother me. I got married at 22 years. I have never involved myself in tense extra-marital affairs.

“It’s not necessary.” he continues ” We are all weak as men, but you see, if you decide to pursue a torrid extra-marital relationship, what will you be proving to people? However, I don’t involve myself in situations that will make me to compromise my integrity and that of my family”
