Title: Nigerian Actor Emeka Ike Reveals Why He Quit Acting & The Problems Facing Nollywood
Post by: Shola Sholaz on Jun 19, 2013, 09:41 AM
You seem to be taking a break from acting. Why?
.
It's not only me you don't see in movies these days. You don't see other big names as well. You don't see all of us the way you used to see us then. We aren't that current and regular as before. This is because lately, a problem I have been lamenting over has sent everybody back to the drawing board.
.
So, we are all making one movie in a year now. I just made my own movie recently. What they are doing now isn't the Nollywood l know. Now, they are making a movie and cutting it into 10 parts.
.
I have so many detractors in the industry and this resulted from my many grouses with some stakeholders. Another problem I have stems from my opposition to the international cable system. I questioned why they should be showing many of our movies without paying us, which is against the UNESCO charter. Contract or no contract, there is a UNESCO charter that mandates them to pay us and we are signatories to it. I've been complaining about it before 2009.

Emeka Ike is already a legend in the industry so if he quits now there is absolutely no problem with that. That's the fact.
