Veteran Nollywood icon Pete Edochie has shared a hilarious story about his attempt to quit alcohol — and how that decision quickly went sideways.
In a resurfaced video, the legendary actor recalled making a bold New Year resolution three years ago: to stop drinking alcohol. Motivated and ready for a fresh start, he proudly shared his decision with close friends who initially praised him for it.
But what happened next was completely unexpected — and downright funny.
According to Edochie, his well-meaning friends were so impressed by his new lifestyle choice that they insisted on taking him out to celebrate. Ironically, the celebration involved drinks — the very thing he had just vowed to avoid.
“So we went back to drinking,” the actor said, laughing at how quickly he backtracked on his commitment.
The lighthearted moment captured in the video has since gone viral, with fans amused by the unexpected twist and the actor’s candid storytelling. Many praised Edochie for his sense of humor and honesty, proving that even legends have their humorous slip-ups.
“About three years ago, I said in my New Year resolution, that I was going to stop drinking. So my friends came and I told them I had now resolved to stop drinking. They said that was good. let’s go and celebrate it. So we went back to drinking”.
