Uzor Arukwe’s Manager Admits Sharing Fan’s Frustration With His ‘Igbotic’ Roles

Mautin Tairu, known as Mr M and manager of Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe, said he had also felt frustrated by the actor’s “igbotic” roles, which often involve shouting. He was responding to fan R. Ekpedeme, who said she needed a break from those characters. Tairu explained that business decisions sometimes take priority over his personal preferences and that the roles are more common on YouTube because of audience tastes. He said Arukwe’s cinema projects do not feature the same repetitive character type, as the team tailors its strategy to each platform.
