“Anybody who says age is just a number should subject himself to psychiatric evaluation” – Actor, Pete Edochie Speaks

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has reacted to the popular saying which defined age as a mere number amid his 75 birthday celebration on March 6, 2022.

In an interview with Ada Karl TV, the actor noted that the adage, “age is just a number” is not accurate. Thus, those who hold on to such statements should go for a psychiatric examination. People feel it when they grow older but he/she can only prevent it not to weigh them down.

Also, he thanked God that even at 75, his mental faculty is still complete regardless of his several medical challenges.

He said: “I have heard a lot of people say, age is just a number, anybody who says age is just a number should subject himself to psychiatric evaluation because as you age, you feel it within yourself but you try as much as possible not to allow it weigh you down.

So I want to start by thanking the Almighty God for helping me get this far, most of my colleagues who started with me are no longer there, may their souls rest in peace. It is not easy being 75, you are prone to several medical challenges, but you just have to keep moving on but I’m happy that my faculty is still complete, so once more, I thank the Almighty God.”
