  23. Anon 12.43 and anon 4.45 u guys sound dumb and shallow minded only illiterates talk like this !uninformed people like you sound like this for your best info Joe Ben has been on the block for a long time he started as a passer by then acting in a series he celebrated his 10years in the industry last year soo if your talking of experience he has it! Tell me u tink is all this your mgbeke brothers WIV strong accents that they will give the award to ! Do u know what meriting award takes itz not by your number of years Will smith hasn't still won an Oscar till date that's because they feel they are better people than him! Joe Ben movies last year and. this year has been dope# and he still has more coming up one that he was on a will chair from the beginning of the movie to the ending ! Singles and married is madt! ! Tangle WIV mee WIV genny was fab soo all of you judging joblessly here as usual continue! His going higher and I am soo proud to be his friend and am soo proud if him! His humble humility paaysss!! Ride on ma brother the Oscars awaits you !! Kudos dear!

  29. seun akindele is better than joseph benjamin. i watched joseph when he was on that mnet show with norbert young, and seun in SPIDER. joseph benjamin is not a good actor but he's not bad, but seun is better and more expressive.

    ReplyDelete
  30. joseph benjamin, E4PR, and royal arts academy clan stop coming here to defend him. nobody cares or knows him. there are only 30 something comments, most of which are from you people. he is not a good or popular actor and will never be. keep on buying awards from the whole world. you people and your actors can't act or direct films.
