Ace Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has narrated the unfortunate experiences that led to his absence from the entertainment scene for a long period of time.
The actor who spoke on Hero Daniels’ Rubbin’ Minds show on Sunday, explained that his perceived downturn in the Nollywood industry was a result of personal challenges during turbulent times in his marriage and the industry’s shift from VCD to larger screens.
According to him, the changing landscape of the Nigerian movie industry made some of them feel excluded thereby impacting the demand for their talents.
Recall that Emeka Ike’s marriage was dissolved by a Lagos Island Customary Court in 2015 due to alleged incessant battering, which added to the actor’s tumultuous journey.
However, in another revelation, the veteran actor disclosed that his time away from the limelight involved life-threatening situations, facing threats from assassins and gunmen with no apparent motive.
Despite these adversities, the Emeka Ike has reportedly made a triumphant return to Nollywood, securing a role in Toyin Abraham’s upcoming movie, ‘Malaika.’
Emphasizing his comeback, Ike attributed his resurgence to a commitment to personal growth and perseverance in the face of adversities. His inspiring journey reflects a resilient spirit overcoming challenges in both personal and professional realms.
