Chico Ejiro

Chico Ejiro was born Chico Aziakpono in the Isoko country, in the Delta. He studied agriculture, and came to production by a path that tells of the era: Nigerians no longer bought blank cassettes, so they had to be sold full ones. He was nicknamed Mister Prolific: he made more than eighty feature films, some shot in a week. Two of his brothers, Zeb and Peter, went into the same trade. He died on 25 December 2020, the day after a final shoot.
