"Daddy Yo!", Maurice would always call me. "Itorobong Edidiong, who be Daddy Yo between us both? You no dey look Mirror ní?", I would retort laughing. And then we will start our usual verbal wrestle and trust this guy, he's got Comebacks and Punchlines for days! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN ABSOLUTE FAVE @maurice_sam ! The REALEST outchea! Met Maurice in person during the #weddingparty1 premiere, sometime in Nov 2016 (I had been a FAN of the "Acid" character on "Hustle" and "Hotel Majestic") and since then, I gotta say; I've NEVER met a Human so selfless, grounded, hardworking, amazing, stress-LESS, consistent, CHILLED, respectful and amazing like this dude! Maurice can apologize for Africa ehn! Maurice can thank someone for Africa! Maurice will always go out of his way for people in his corner! Maurice will always show up at any gig, show out, deliver and finish work! MAURICE IS A FANTASTIC ACTOR, HANDS DOWN! 👏👏👏👏👏 But invite Maurice to an event.... That one e go run! Except na we-we! 😂😂😂😂😂 Black Hercules (as I dey hail am) is ALWAYS WORKING; one set to the other! Never a minute to himself! (E remain Blue Film, you hear? 😂). "Omo, I'm breaking out. Guess it's Stress. Can you recommend anything?", He'd ask me. Senior man don turn me to Dermatologist, Guidance Counsellor and Therapist! 😂 Maurice, you have gone through the Fire but it didn't burn you. It only refined you. Now you're Burning & Shinning!!! You know I'm forever your #1 Groupie! Don't like Maurice? I'll fight that fight to the ends of the earth! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN AND AGAIN! P.S: This photo shoot was done at 12a.m this morning.
