| BIGVAI |
Nigerian actor, Oreoluwa Jokotoye otherwise known as Bigvai is my 'Alejo Pataki' on the blog today.
Jokotoye Bigvai Oreoluwa is a young handsome, gentle and God fearing naija actor. Singing, Playing guitar, Camping, Reading, and Eating are all his hobbies. He loves honesty and hate the opposite of it. He started in 1987 at Erin Ile in Kwara state of Nigeria where his late DAD was a pastor of a C.A.C church. He began to act uninvited with the church drama troupe. So, he grew with the dream of doing it with the likes of Oga Bello, Aluwe, Aderupoko, Papilolo, Jacobs, Isho Pepper and others since he used to watch them do it then. To God be all the glory today for a dream come true after so many years. Bigvai is now a household name in Nigeria, he is a full time actor, production manager in the lucrative industry. He has featured in so many TV series and home videos, like: Wale Adenuga Soaps, Super Story,This Life, Odd World, Binta and friends, Papa Ajasco. Dear Mother, Why die now?, Oranmiyan, Angeli mi, ogun, Eleburu Ike, jenifa, omo iya kan, Baba ologba, Ako Ife, Igba, Ijapa, Owo eje, e.t.c and the simple truth is he loves what he is doing.
