Mechanical Engineer-turned Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has
pointed accusing fingers at some Nollywood bigwigs for sleeping with
actresses in exchange of roles.
The Nollywood actor, who had marital challenges earlier this year has made it known in a recent interview how sad he is with the
modus operandi
of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria. He made it known that the Ibinabo
Fiberesima-led tenure which is still ongoing can only be compared to the
biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, where producers sleep with actresses to
give them role while they practice homosexuality with the males.
PulseNG made it known that while addressing newsmen at the 2nd
edition of the City People’s Political Award held recently in Lagos, the
Imo State born actor, revealed that the Nollywood is full of decays
which must not be transferred to the next set of fresh generation that
will opt in their career.
The actor who is seen as a controversial one because of his straight
forward reactions on issues that bother round the film industry in
Nigeria has been involved in a running battle with the body since he
declared his intention to lead the guild, and believes he is the only
one who can rescue what he calls a dying movie industry.
Emeka went on to mention names of people who he feels are ‘ruining’
the tune of events in the Nigeria movie industry. He was quoted saying:
”There are five people who have taken the laws of
Nigerian movie industry into their hands. They are Emma Ogugua, Murphy
Stephen, Sunny McDon, Okey Bakassi and Ifeanyi Dikeh. These five people
registered Actors Guild of Nigeria as their personal business. No other
individual can come in.
My first concern is to clean up Nollywood, clean up
AGN. Every Nigerian youth want to act movies now, what future are we
leaving for them? Where are they going to write their names?
The two bedroom in Surulere where they would ask
you to come and grace their beds before they give you roles? Where they
would make you join a gay group or lesbian group before they talk to
you?
Nollywood has gotten so bad that you must either strip and grace their beds or join the gay or lesbian group to belong.
The people at the helm of affairs are the ones
killing Nollywood. Some of us the well-known actors don’t even know
their rights. I dare say it again, they don’t. Nobody can come out to
challenge me.
We built this industry with pain. Those who are at
the helm of affairs now, people don’t even know them in the movies. They
just came in and messed everything up.
Ibinabo has been acting as the president of AGN for
years now, but with her case as an ex-convict, do you have any moral
justification to recognize her as the president? The court case is still
on and the war continues.
That wasn’t the industry I founded. My daughter
will not to go into that industry tomorrow and they would say she must
sleep with one of them to get a role. Neither would my son be a part of
Nollywood that is full of immoralities.”
