Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike is at war with the Nigerian film industry, saying it is decayed and has therefore withdrawn movies related to his label from the market. The renowned actor who shot into the movie limelight in 1984 is reported to have told Encomium weekly magazine on Sunday, July 22 that considering the decay in the industry it will be wise to dissociate himself from it. For sometime now, the Mechanical Engineer turn actor has been absent from the screen prompting questions as to whether he has quit acting. Touching on his absence, Emeka Ike said “I have not quit Nollywood in the real sense of the word. What I did was to withdraw all my movies from the market, and I mean all the movies that are related with Emeka Ike…and the reason is not farfetched.” “I am angry with what is going on in the industry,” he fumed, explaining, “My conscience would not allow me to go on with the decay in the industry. So, I feel that was the best thing to do, to dissociate myself from the problem and stand out! So, henceforth, any Nollywood movie would not involve Emeka Ike.” The owner of Emeka Ike Production said he wants “to market all my movies on the label of Emeka Ike Production. If you want to deal with me as an actor, you have to work with me under the label. That clearly separates me from Nollywood.” Emeka Ike has featured in over 160 movies notable among them are: Careless Soul, Strength of a Woman, Passions, For Better for Worse, Not Man Enough and Disguise.
