Emeka Ike Says Movie Producers Sleep With Actresses For Roles, Forcing Them To Join Gay & Lesbian Group

Controversial Imo State born actor Emeka Ike is still hell bent on overthrowing incumbent National President of the guild Ibinabo Fiberisima at the next Actors Guild of Nigeria elections – scheduled for next week. Emeka who is seen as Nollywood’s greatest rebel, had an interview with journalists at the 2nd edition of the City People’s Political Award held recently in Lagos. He said several people have taken the movie industry as their personal property and even went as far as mentioning names. In his words… “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.Continue...
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 sto 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 them be getting any role to feature in.
