Veteran actor Justus Esiri bitter about not getting national award

The veteran actor, who played the Village Head Master, in the popular 80's TV series of the same name, and whose career has spanned over three decades, is not happy that he's yet to receive a national award.

I feel very bitter that of all the progammes I have done, I have not been recommended. While those people who took part in Samanja, New Masquerade, and other Yoruba programmes have been given national awards.

I think he's right to be bitter. If Aki and Paw Paw, Stephanie Okereke and Genevieve can get national awards, he more than deserves to get one too. In fact, it's long over due!
