SEGUN ARINZE AND EMEKA IKE IN WAR OF WORDS


There seems no end in the sight to the rivalry between prominent  Nollywood actors Segun Arinze and Emeka Ike. The two men have been at loggerheads following the election, which produced Segun Arinze as president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. The result of this election was challenged from several quarters in the AGN and serious efforts had to be made to broker peace within the organisation. Unfortunately, a faction of the AGN went on to carry out another election, which produced Emeka Ike as President. However, the BoT of the AGN chose to recognise Segun Arinze as the duly elected president. Since then things have not been easy between the two men. Recently Emeka Ike came out to advise the FG not to deal with the AGN under the leadership of Segun Arinze. In a quick reply, Segun Arinze opined that Emeka was confused and misinformed. Emeka Ike is has already dragged the AGN to court in an effort to get himself declared as the rightful president of the AGN. Emeka Ike was banned last year by the AGN for misconduct.
