United States-based Ghanaian musician and social commentator Anane Dennis, popularly known as Archipalago has eulogised Nigerian movie icons Aki and Pawpaw for the impacts they had on pint-sized individuals in the movie industry.
The vocalist averred that had it not been for the two actors, real names Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze, pint-sized people would not have been considered by movie producers and directors.
On the score, Archipalago, in a tweet on Saturday, February 11, told Yaw Dabo, Don Little, and others to continuously honour them.
"Don Little, Yaw Dabo, and those kinds of guys should give maximum thanks and praise to Aki and Pawpaw because it was them who made Ghanaian directors start using their type, and as a matter of fact they paved a way for all the Shortingos [the pint-sized] to get their daily bread through movies," his tweet reads.
Aki and Pawpaw are a famous Nollywood acting duo who have worked in the Nigerian film industry for over two decades, playing the comic roles of siblings and close friends.

Fans believed the two were siblings for a long time because of their short stature and youthful facial features.
Aki and Pawpaw are not these actors' real names, as they earned these cute nicknames from their famous 2002 film.
The duo's humorous characters transformed the face of Nollywood and added a unique flavour to the industry.
