Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke recently had a chat
with Emma Emerson of Golden Icons where they discussed a range of issues
that has never been shared with the public media.
took his time to respond to the questions thrown at him including some
personal issues such as the loss of his mum, his engagement to Ghanaian
actress Nadia Buari, the spiritual ‘deliverance’ at Prophet T.B Joshua’s
Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), breakup with ex-fiance
Keturah Hamilton, and of-course, his reality TV show.
“…I spent 6 years with an amazing woman and there is
nothing she does that will offend me enough to say anything negative
about her. And if she was emotional enough to speak against me.I don’t
think she said it because she means it.Because she knows better.We
didn’t part well but we lived well.I don’t have people that can sit and
say things in my ear .That’s what makes me different.What ever comes out
of my mouth I take responsibility because i sat about it, tailored it
and thought about it and said it.It’s not the same.I can afford to
forgive you if you are emotionally charged and you feel wronged.You are
going to say stuff you don’t mean. But if I say it, please don’t forgive
me because I had no influence whatsoever,everything I said I meant
it. So i knew i was able to control what came out of my mouth.She
couldn’t. That doesn’t make her a bad person.It just meant that time is a
healer.When time played it’s course, she found out what she did was
wrong.Some people are not meant in your life, they come play a very
strong role and you owe them a debt you will never be able to pay for
the rest of your life.That is what i owe that woman .I’ve offered
friendship and she is taking that. I’m glad we can look at our stupid
mistakes and laugh about it .. When you are in that place, there is
nothing more beautiful than that …but the truth is, my history will never be complete without her. “
of God lays hands on you and you fall it’s normal, but Jim Iyke walks
in and falls and they say oh my God evil spirits were cast from him.They
said they paid me 50million naira to act that. That’s almost $100
thousand ..That could have been what happened or something spiritual
actually happened.I could have been paid to act ..It is left for you and
the public to judge”
Engagement to Nadia Buari “That engagement was funny.We went to four countries in three days and I
came back and people said I used it as a gimmick to sell my reality show
..It could be true. And others said no body could go out and get a 6
carat ring and spend that kind of money because it did cost some money ,
for it to be fake. The only two people that know the truth – Nadia and
me. If I said I did get engaged, some will say it’s a lie. If I say I did
not, some will say I told you. So it doesn’t matter. Let them keep talking. Don’t forget, she is an actress and I’m an actor…”
