A humorous detail about the longtime friendship between Nollywood stars Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, and Osita Iheme, better known as Pawpaw, has emerged years after the actors became one of Nigeria’s most recognisable screen partnerships.
Stephanie Promise Ikedieze, Aki’s wife, revealed that the two actors once lived together and eventually had to divide their household belongings when they decided to move into separate homes.
Stephanie shared the story in a video posted online on September 10, with her husband sitting nearby as she recalled the amusing episode.
According to her, Aki and Pawpaw did not simply walk away when it was time to stop living together. They shared the household items they had accumulated.
Explaining the arrangement in Pidgin English, Stephanie joked:
“Aki carry pot, Pawpaw carry kettle.”
Her account drew laughter from those around her, while Aki listened as his wife told the story.
More Than Just an On-Screen Partnership
The revelation offers fans another glimpse into the relationship between two actors whose partnership became a major part of Nigerian popular culture.
Aki and Pawpaw became household names through their appearances together in Nollywood productions, with their contrasting personalities and comedic performances making them one of the industry’s most memorable duos.
Stephanie’s story suggests their connection extended beyond film sets, with the pair at one point sharing the same home before eventually establishing separate households.
Rather than focusing on a disagreement between the actors, the lighthearted account has attracted attention because of the simple way they reportedly divided their possessions when it was time to move on.
For fans who have watched Aki and Pawpaw together for years, the image of one leaving with a pot while the other took a kettle adds another amusing chapter to the story of their friendship.
