Some days ago, Chika Ike and her
manager, Sarah Donald were in the
news for having a vacation in Dubai.
They reportedly spent millions of
Naira for the trip and also shared
pictured from the vacation on the
internet, which attracted criticisms.
One of those who criticised the
action was controversial filmmaker,
Charles Novia.
In his words, Charles said, ‘These
so-called celebs just set me off!
Look, my friend, as with many of
those in the society from which our
Nigerian celebrities come from, these
guys suffer from a deep-rooted
poverty mentality which even their
doubtful educational exploits cannot
mask.
‘Why do you say so?
‘Let me give an example with that
Chika Ike. She is an actress or
something? Yeah? How is it that she
sorts of ensures that the whole
Nigeria must know that she paid $
24,000 for a two-day yacht ride in
the Middle East? Isn’t that some sort
of dysfunction of her faculties?
‘But I read that it was her Personal
Assistant who wrote effusively on her
personal page that Chika paid that
amount and took her, the PA or
friend, along for the ride.
‘It all boils down to my point. And by
the way, that picture I saw of the
yacht is suspect. The damned thing
looked like a cruise boat which the
obtuse PA might have mistaken for a
yacht though. Anyway, my point is, in
this clime we live in, our so-called
celebrities, coming from a
background of social, material and
emotional deprivation just have to
FORCE the public to know that they
have arrived. So, a boat trip, a
helicopter ride, a breakfast in a 3 star
hotel lobby and a personal scratch
on the ass must make the news at all
costs.’
But the actress’ manager has not
found those words funny and has
lashed out at the filmmaker, who is
well known for criticising celebrities.
Serah described Charles as a
‘wretched sad old man.’
Serah wrote, “Ah hh Charles Novia.
Why the beef? I understand your
pains that after years spent in the
industry you have nothing to show
for it and have resorted to getting
fame with celebrities names. Oh well!
Let me grant you the audience of
having your fifteen minutes fame as
usual. Trying to resurrect your dead
career by trying to be a critic or will I
say a hater.
“Before you hate why not at least do
a proper research. First you called a
yatch, a cruise boat. I laughed at first
but I understand that you have not
experienced the luxury of being in a
Yatch to know the difference between
a boat and a Yatch. You called
Jumirah beach hotel a 3 star hotel?
My guy I forgive your ignorance, how
will you know the difference when
you have not even been in a two star
hotel how much more a five star
hotel.
“You call me Chika Ike’s personal
Assistant, that really got me laughing
hard because I know that you know I
am her manager and her publicist a
position you will give your life to
attain at leas to make some money
for yourself and take expense paid
trips vacation. I remember clearly
that you met me in California when
you came for Nollywood convention
and I was in a film school one you
won’t even be able to afford even if
you worked for years but then again I
forgive your ignorance as I deeply
feel your pains. Dealing with a dead
career is not really an easy one.
“But one advice focus on
resurrecting your career and going
back to being a movie director rather
than living your life hating on
celebrities who has made it. It’s
obvious your beef doesn’t pay your
bills and you will die a wretched sad
old man who will be remembered for
hating on celebrities. Like the famous
saying goes. Have you ever seen a
statue erected in honour of a critic?
No!
“Chika Ike is one of the biggest
Nigerian celebrities we have, a U.N
ambassador, Bullet energy drink
ambassador. Refugee ambassador
for displaced person just to mention
a few. An extremely hardworking one
as such and very charitable. I am
sure you are aware of how many
lives she has changed with her Chika
Ike foundation. Chika Ike is blessed
and no man can take that away. She
is 28 and successful and she’s sure
going to live her life to the fullest so
feel free to feed your eyes with more
Instagram pictures if it pains you
then go work harder and be
celebrated. Peace out!”

My dear, she is o. Her cousin is my childhood friend and they are agemates. She has even posted her birth certificate on the net once to confirm.

She said she was born in 1985 so she shld be 29 nt 28

Who be Charles and who be Chika? Hian! Seems some of these so called celebrities are only know in Lagos o. Apart frm popular musicians and some old nollywood stars, we hardly hear anything about these ones.
