what critics have said about various performances by Chet Anekwe. |

30 Days "Chet Anekwe aka CBA is probably the guy to watch out
for in 30 Days. If he chooses to pursue it, stardom awaits him in Nollywood. He can easily assume the role of
Nigeria's most talented and good looking leading man...... He translates the layers of moods into reality.
The role, to borrow a cliché, becomes him....CBA brings to his portrayal of "Kene Alumona" to an uncanny depth
and range hardly ever seen....lesser talent would have been blown out of the water by CBA"
- Sola Osofisan

Legged On The Floor - a collage in blacks "It is exciting to
watch... Chet Anekwe makes the transition invisible from an anguished
youth forced to watch his father's lynching to that young man's aged deranged
self, still wreaking vengeance.

talent, the cast was all-around wonderful.... and especially Chet Anekwe
as a provocateur who bets his buddy that he can come up with more euphemisms
for "dick" than he can..."

parts."
