A Conversation with the one and only Nollywood legend - EMEKA IKE

It was such a pleasure to have the one and only Emeka Ike on our Podcast - he was amazing and shared his next project. I must apologise for his non-visibility/appearance for part of video. We had so much technical issues on the day, hence it has taken this long to upload episode 4. I intend to have a face-to-face/in-the-studio interview with him in the nearest future to make amends! So watch this space. For those of you who might know Emeka Ike (I highly doubt this!), he is a Nigerian actor and was a special guest in Monrovia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monrovia] on the occasion of the commissioning of the new pavilion of Center for Democratic Change CDC. On screen, Emeka Ike graced our screens with his outstanding performance and left viewers always wanting more. He was the epitome of romance and made viewers around the Africa, might I also add around the world, believe in love. Although, he is no longer particularly proud of these early roles, but we are glad that he allowed us to witness his charisma and talent as an outstanding actor. He has appeared in numerous movies, for example A Million Tears 2 (2006), I Swear (2004) and A Million Tears (2006), and The Snake Girl (2006) just to name a few. Along with his peers, they made Nollywood what it is today and took our stories beyond the shores of Africa and to world. In our conversation, he shared is humble beginning and the challenges in the industry. Most importantly, you will learn about his next film project - he wants to tell the story of some of Nigerian soldiers that are still defending the nation with their lives, despite the high stakes involved. WE AT DEE:UNLEASHED PODCAST CELEBRATE THE LEGEND THAT IS EMAKE IKE!!
