It’s no longer news that lots of individuals especially those within the Nollywood circle are not satisfied with
Ibinabo Fiberesima being the AGN President. This really isn’t a big deal as one
is yet to actually see any president who has 100% support of the people, there
will always be some opposition. The latest actor opposing Ibinabo’s reign is
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike. In a recent interview with some journalists, an
embittered Emeka Ike spoke about the unhealthy state of the Nollywood industry
and calls out names of the people perpetuating the unhealthiness.
Enjoy the interview below:‘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 wants 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.
