He portrayed Chidoke, an Igbo businessman and money launderer, and had to focus on using the Igbo dialect accurately, especially with the pronunciation of ‘R’s’ and ‘L’s’. This was revealed during a fan interaction on X platform.
A curious fan asked, “[What’s] The most challenging role you have ever played?”
Arukwe replied, “A Tribe Called Judah” because I had to consciously replace the L word with the R word, to make it feel natural & believable.”
Quoting his tweet, producer of the record-breaking film, Funke Akindele lauded him for his outstanding performance in the movie.
“And you nailed it. Well done bro. Thank you too,” she wrote.
