- Chika Ike has remained
ageless, what are your best kept beauty secrets?
Honestly,
let me thank my mother’s genes. People always say ‘I woke up like this
flawless’ but it’s not always like that. I drink a lot of water, I exercise and
I eat vegetables. Then I opt for fruits for
vitamins and rest a lot. I take a lot of apples, berries and
Mangoes. I’m not a fan of pineapples and water melons.

You took a break from sex, is
that part of the beauty routine too?
that part of the beauty routine too?
No, not
at all (laughter). Sex is not part of my beauty routine right now. I just want
to focus on my movie, Nwa Teacher, and the reality show, African Diva. I’m very
determined. If I make up my mind to do something I face it. I decided to be
celibate for now and I’m enjoying it.

- How did your partner take
the decision to be celibate?
Well, he understands but I don’t
really have a boyfriend or partner right now.

- Hope you won’t surprise us
with your wedding invitation card soon?
It could happen but I’m not really into any relationship right now. All my
energy is channeled on my new projects.

- You’ve been scarce in
Nollywood, are you tired of acting?
You are very right about that. I’m still acting but very picky. I don’t just
accept roles. At this point in my career, I don’t really need to be in all the
movies but only the good ones.

- Sometime ago you went on a
tour that made tongues wag, how did you take reactions that trailed the
move?
I had to do what I had to do; all work and no play makes Chika a dull girl so I
made it compulsory to take a vacation yearly to relax and make myself happy.
Even if it might annoy some people but I don’t really care; I just want
to be happy.It was rumoured that a sugar daddy sponsored the trip?
Wow! People said all that? I didn’t hear-o. Well, I guess they forget that I’m
an Ambassador to different brands. I earn my money. I have a store called Fancy
Nancy. I’m business woman, actress and lots more. So I make my money and
deserve to be happy. I owe my success to God and constant hard work.
