I Am Quitting Nollywood Temporarily’ – Emeka Ike by r231(m): 3:08pm On Jul 25, 2012
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, has said he’s leaving Nollywood temporarily to strategies. Speaking to an Encomium reporter exclusively on Sunday July 22nd, the actor said:

“I have not quit Nollywood in the real sense of the word. What I did was to withdraw all my movies from the market, and I mean all the movies that are related with Emeka Ike…and the reason is not far fetched. I am angry with what is going on in the industry. My conscience would not allow me to go on with the decay in the industry. So, I feel that was the best thing to do, to dissociate myself from the problem and stand out! So, henceforth, any Nollywood movie would not involve Emeka Ike. Rather, I want to market all my movies on the label of Emeka Ike Production. If you want to deal with me as an actor, you have to work with me under the label. That clearly separates me from Nollywood

LDDMST.... Laf dey do me strong thing here o.... I'm even happy he knws that their productions carries high level of mediocrity, i won't even knw, if he puts the film in the mkt, when i won't watch... What i don't understand now is if he would be the one to write the script for the people willing to do biz' with him.... They knw that those films are whack, but they still go ahead in doing it, when they now get money out of it, they would say the industry is decaying...

Hmmm, He will be missed. Maybe Not? undecided

I think maybe what he should have said would have been - "I'm not getting any new jobs so pardon me for being off-screen for a while" tongue #JustKidding.

. . . My relation actually mentioned ths same thing to me a few months back.

He's also a major player and has been from day one - but he's fed up with the 'violations' that take place within the industry.

To much piracy and corruption.

But let me warn Mr Ike - Even if you withdraw from the industry for the next 100 years films WILL still be released with your name all over it.

Afterall there is nothing you can do - Nigeria doesn't really have any laws to protect your 'intellectual property'.

I hope he is speaking the truth or his temporal quitting has to do with the president Actor's guild of Nigeria(AGN) position. Anyway he knows, what he wants, so if he wants to quit, who cares? With the ill-produced and fake movies we have here in 9ja.mtchew!

And where will "Emeka Ike Productions" operate? No be Nigeria movie industry (Nollywood)?
Re: I Am Quitting Nollywood Temporarily’ – Emeka Ike by megareal: 6:30pm On Jul 25, 2012
Is distancing himself what will make Nollywood 'well'? What happened to contributing your quota to make the industry work? Even if he releases his movies under his own name, he will still be seen as Nollywood. Better for them all to join hands and heads to proffer lasting solutions that will benefit them all in the long run.

I'm sure he will pursue foreign currency - and quit Nigeria and 'Nollywood' films.

From what I know, there are many people overseas who are willing to invest in these 'Nollywood' hustlers.

Mark my words - soon you will see Nigerian themed films being produced abroad - and more importantly marketed abroad.

The reason - you have the law on your side if your copyright is violated (plus Pounds, Dollars and Euro's are more attractive currencies)

Well known Nigerian comedians are making foreign currency by putting on shows OUTSIDE Nigeria.

So why not the actors?

A Nollywood insider going on strike because he knows something ain't kosher with the business?

Hmmm, I wonder if the Nollywood apologist who curse those of us who have been saying the same thing for years now will start cursing Emeke Ike.
