Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has finally declared the reasons he has been absent from the screens for some time now.
According to him, he has been depressed over marital issues for a long time, coupled with unfavorable government policies that have affected the Nollywood industry.
Revealing this in a media interview on Sunday in Nigeria, the popular actor said unfavorable government policies to a large extent affected him and his colleagues in the film industry.
“I was in hiding; I was ashamed of what I didn’t do. That is sometimes the price you pay for being large, so I was depressed and short-circuited for no reason, and I had to just hide my face,” he said.
Emeka said he made the bold decision to be out of the public eye until he knew the exact problem troubling him.
He stated that at some point he was after journalists who had called him a mad man, explaining with hindsight what could have been an error in judgment on his part.
The 56-year-old actor said at some point in his life, he fought everyone with some oligarchs, sending people after him for disagreeing with them.
