Pawpaw rolls with Joe Shortingo

Reports making the rounds say Nigerian miniature size actor Osita ‘Pawpaw’ Iheme has struck a new friendship with Ghanaian actor Joe Shortingo, also a miniature size actor.

Meanwhile, there are doubts Pawpaw and his long term pal, Chinedu ‘Aki’ Ikedieze are still the best of friends. There were earlier speculations that since Aki got married, his friendship with Pawpaw started facing problems and he does not hang out with Papaw as they used to.

Both Joe and Pawpaw are at the moment making a debut in an upcoming African movie and that is making their new bond a strong one.

Pawpaw had most often been featured alongside Aki therefore pairing with the Ghanaian actor for the first time is already raising eyebrows over the upcoming movie.

The shoot of the new movie generated some controversies in the past weeks when Pawpaw arrived in Ghana for the production.

Sources told NEWS-ONE that the two unique actors were on set playing friends and they have been putting up some of their best performances ever.

What is yet to be confirmed is if Pawpaw will stay longer in Ghana. In recent times, some Nigerian stars have not just made Ghana their second home but found interest in working here as well.

Hank Anuku stayed in Ghana for several months to work and he is a typical example. So it would not be a surprising if Pawpaw also hangs around for some months.
