I’m The Biggest Actor In Africa, Timini Egbuson Boasts

Actor Timini Egbuson has expressed confidence in his acting abilities, declaring himself the biggest actor in Africa.

The actor made the remarks while featuring as a guest in the latest episode of the Menisms Podcast.

Timini said he has consistently acted for 15 years, inspired many young actors, and pioneered the leading male young actor category in the movie industry.

He noted that when he initially joined the Nollywood industry, there were no prominent lead roles specifically tailored for young men, as they were typically portrayed by older individuals or female actors.

He said: “I have been acting for 15 years consistently. I’ve never had a time off or fall off for 15 years consistently.

“I believe that I genuinely opened up the way for a lot of new school young actors. I also believe that I opened up the leading male young actor category.

“And I said that very humbly because when I joined Nollywood, there were no lead roles for young men. You either had to be an old man or a lady. All the young men that were acting were playing minor roles. Nobody was actively writing lead roles for young men.

“If you put everything that I’ve accomplished together, I believe that I am the biggest actor in Africa.”
