A-CHOICES:Pls,give us an insight into your background?
Bigvai: I was born in the early 80s at Ajaawa via ogbomosho, oyo state, Nigeria. My father is late pastor J.A Jokotoye from Ajaawa while mummy is from Sakete in Rep. Du Benin. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Started my primary school at St. Mathias, Erin-Ile in kwara state, my father being a C.A.C pastor was always transferred after 5 years pastoring any church. So, we moved to Bacita in 1988 where I continued my primary education before moving to Ilofa also in kwara state in 1993 where I had my secondary education and then Akure in Ondo state in 1997 where I finished my secondary school in 1999. I was a diploma student in then University of Ado Ekiti before I dropped out after my father’s death in 2001 and ventured into acting in 2002.
A-CHOICES:What inspired you to become an actor?
Bigvai: I picked interest since I started acting in the church as a kid but I decided to do it full-time when I dropped out of school and I didn’t want to be useless to the society. The Bible says your talent will speak for you and that inspired me.
A-CHOICES: You’ve not been so active in movies since moving to America?
Bigvai: I have been very active here as we are building a new Nollywood in America with the help of the likes of Bayo Alawiye, Doris Simon, Raymond, Mistura Asuramu, Gbenga Afolabi, Ajibola Ajibise, Gbemi, Ayokosh and so many other great actors. We have alot we working on right now.

A-CHOICES:You lost your father at a very young age which affected furthering your education?

Bigvai: The girl on the mountain, Red Blood, Flip side, Out of her mind, Oosha, Gunmi, The fight, Elizabeth and many more. More of these projects are already going through post-production.
A-CHOICES: The issue of veteran actors falling ill and having to crow-fund to pay their bills is quite worrisome. What is your take?
Bigvai: Until the industry is reformed it won’t change. Marketers should have more marketing strategies to make more more money, then invest in good producers alone who produce standard jobs. If Marketers made good money, movies would be well funded, actors would be well paid. By this way, actors can have health insurance and Bigvai:
A-CHOICES: Some actors say they don’t watch their movies. Does this hold true for you?
BIGVAI: No, I’m always eager to watch my movies just to correct myself and learn more. And, more times, I go for well written scripts and I’m always happy being part of it by watching the end product.
A-CHOICES: When you’re offered a role, what do you do next?
Bigvai: If I fit in into that character, I will go ahead to negotiate, get my script and start preparing for the job. I reject any role I don’t see myself fit in
A-CHOICES: How do you feel being a father?
Bigvai: I feel great.
A-CHOICES: What do you do in your spare time?
Bigvai: Play guitar, soccer, sing, see nature and spend time with my family.
A-CHOICES: One final word for younger ones.

Moving Bitcoins from one address to another is called a transaction. Such a transaction is similar to sending money from one bank account to another. In Bitcoin, the sender must authorize their transaction by providing a digital signature that proves they own the address where the funds are stored. Remember: someone with an operational quantum computer who has your public key could falsify this signature, and therefore potentially spend anyone’s Bitcoins! From your first crypto trade to your first NFT purchase, you’ll have us to guide you through the process. No stupid questions. No sleepless nights. Have confidence in your crypto. The 2014 documentary The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin portrays the diversity of motives behind the use of bitcoin by interviewing people who use it. These include a computer programmer and a drug dealer.
