I’M NOT A MISCHIEVOUS PERSON - CHINEDU IKEDIEZE

Popular Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze better known as Aki, has attributed his acting prowess to the freedom he was able to get from his grandmother while growing with her in Abia state.

The actor known for his child-friendly movies stated that it was the way he was given the opportunity to have fun that paved way for him to know how children play and that made him learn how to play pranks on people.

He explained that though he might act mischievous roles but not is just the character of Aki and not the real personality of Chindedu Ikedieze.

According to him, “My background contributed a lot to who I am today and it is still contributing. I grew up with my grandmother in Abia State and I learnt a lot from her. She probably just gave me a free hand to operate as a little boy and that gave me the opportunity to know how to set traps, play pranks on people and to know other little things that children usually do.

“The experience really influenced what I do today because most of the films I do are children- friendly. You will always see me playing one mischievous role or the other; I learnt these things while I was a little boy. Also, every child has a story; you know I was a street boy, so to speak. All those little things I gathered on the streets. Aki is the character that everybody knows me for, though Chinedu Ikedieze is not a mischievous person.”

FAMILIES, FRIENDS MOUNT PRESSURE ON AKI & WIFE TO HAVE THEIR OWN KIDS?

The gist coming from the homestead of Nollywood star actor, Chinedu Ikedieze fondly called, Aki, is not palatable at all.

Those who are peddling the rumor, claim that the pint-sized actor who got married to Nneoma sometimes in 2011, we learnt are presently being put under pressure by families and friends for their inability to produce kids after over three years of marriage.

Rumor has it that Aki’s wife now find solace in the church, where we learnt she prays; morning, afternoon and night asking God for the fruit of the womb.

Rumor monger revealed that the star actor’s wife, Nneoma was summoned by her husband family to know what exactly the problem is.

We learnt Nneoma told the family members’ pointblank that they are not ready for now in making babies rather they focusing more on building their career and future.

We learnt Aki who shot to limelight after his role in ‘ Aki Na Ukwa’, seems not to be perturb about the happenstance, rather he’s suppressing pressures being mounted on his wife by his family members.

However, we learnt the family member has set a deadline for Nneoma to conceive or she incurs their wrath.
It would be recalled that Aki and Nneoma had their traditional marriage on Saturday 26th, November, 2011 at Obolo, Mbano in Imo State and white wedding on Friday December 9th, 2011.

For Aki’s immense contribution to the growth of the movie industry, in 2010, the Federal Government recognized him and conferred on him national Awards, Member of the Federal Republic (MFR).

Nneoma, as well is doing fine in her chosen profession as she graduated from the Needlecraft Couture Fashion School in July 2012 and presently run her own fashion line called Nikiz.

See why Paw Paw and Aki Stopped Living Together

The two superstar actors were so close to the extent that people thought they were from the same family. The two, Osita Iheme (Paw Paw) and Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki) have been living together for a long time until Aki got married.

In a recent interview with Tribune, He said

“There was no clash between us. Then, the owner of the property wanted to use it, so we both had to vacate the apartment. The truth must be told, we cannot live together forever. We are adults and someday we would get married. We are not same twins, I am from Abia and he is from Imo. It’s just that we are good friends. It is not bad we go our separate ways, though; we are not far from each other”

When asked about his marriage life, he said
It has been wonderful and interesting. I thank God for it. As I said earlier, it requires more of responsibility than when one was living the life of a bachelor. I really enjoy my marriage and I thank my understanding wife who takes care of the home while I am away.

On how he spend his free time
Yes, I do. What I usually do is that I take a time out after a hectic work. I travel and I may leave one of my phones on in case of any important call. Most times when I am off work, my management team takes care of other things. My brother, I must take time to free myself from any stress either for months or weeks because life is very vital. One is only useful when one is alive. My body is the engine room of what I give out. If I don’t have the physical energy, I won’t be able to give, as well as sustain my best. I have to make sure that my body and soul are in order. This is why I go on vacation. I also unwind, but it is not what I do all the time. I have reduced the number of times I go to club as a married man. You will agree with me that there are some things that I would have to minimize because I have much more responsibilities now. More so, I have exercise apparatus in the house to keep me fit. I love reading books and playing games, especially the play station. I have a lot of things that can take my mind away from acting for a period of time.
