Stanley Okorie says he has made over 10,000 songs
Legendary Nollywood soundtrack composer and singer, Stanley Okorie, says he has made over 10,000 songs in his entire career. He disclosed this while featuring as a guest on a recent episode of the Osikoya Speaks podcast hosted by Wonu Osikoya.
The ‘Billionaire (onye ji cash)’ crooner said for almost four years, he was making all the music in Nollywood.
He, however, said his success came at a cost as his negligence of his family due to deadlines always pisses his wife off. Okorie said, “For like four years, I was making all the music in Nollywood. I have made over 10,000 songs.
“It’s a lot. And believe me, it comes at a cost of negligence of some things. You don’t have time for a number of things because you are so focused on your art. You can’t go to birthdays because you have deadlines. You can’t do wedding anniversaries; that one was always pissing my wife off.
On resurfacing of his classic track ‘Billionaire (onye ji cash)’, the veteran said it shows that “art is immortal.” He said seeing people dancing on Tiktok to the song he made six years ago is exciting to him.

RIP: Actor Amaechi Mounachi has passed away
Death has struck again in Nollywood as veteran actor, Amaechi Mounachi, has been reported dead. The actor, famous for his comical roles, passed away after a protracted battle with kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.
The tragic news of Muonagor’s death hit the internet on the evening of Sunday, March 24, 2024.
This is coming barely one week after a video circulated online showing the 61-year-old actor lying still in bed, requesting financial aid to support his kidney transplant.
Sitting next to the Nollywood legend was a fellow actor, Kingsley Orji, who pleaded on his behalf.
According to Orji, the kidney disease had caused speech impairment for the ailing actor, and they decided to bring him home from the hospital due to a lack of funds.
Orji had earlier revealed that Muonagor had been battling diabetes and stroke, with the latter causing paralysis in his leg.
In a social media post last November, Muonagor’s cousin, Hon Tony Muonagor, posted a picture of him sitting next to the ailing actor on a hospital bed, stating that he wants the public to know the situation with his relative.
He later went into details of how the Nollywood legend had been battling kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke. He said though Muonagor had been managing his diabetes over the years and living his life, he was undergoing weekly dialysis at the time of the post.
Muonagor had been receiving dialysis and physiotherapy, amongst other treatments, Tony added. The actor joins a list of other Nollywood veterans who died this month. Most notably, John ‘Mr Ibu’ Okafor died on March 2 after a protracted illness that led to the amputation of his leg.

Veteran Nollywood actor Stephen Alajemba, aka Uwaezuoke, has revealed that he experienced rejection from women and people in general while growing up due to his physical and facial appearances. The thespian said his mother told him that as a baby, people refused to carry him because he was not looking attractive.
He disclosed this in a recent interview with popular YouTuber, Yan Kontent Factory.Alajemba said he promised his mother that he was going to make her proud because she told him that he did not “earn anything good” for her as a child.
He said ladies “run away” whenever they see his face. The comic actor said he was unable to attract a lover until he was 20, adding that he got married to his first love at 23.
“Any lady who sees my facial look and stature runs away,” the actor said.
“Unfortunately before one accepted me I was already 20 to 22 years old. I married at 23. So the first person tasted it and confirmed it and she did not leave me anymore
