JimIyke, a Nigerian actor, has spoken out for the first time about why his father sent him away from his home.
During an interview, the acclaimed actor revealed that he was fortunate to have his mother’s support after his father chased him out of the house for getting involved in acting.
His father wanted him to take his studies seriously, but he was only interested in acting, according to the actor.
He said:
”I was a straight A student and my parent had already planned my life. I was about 18 and a half when I finished my first degree. The whole plan was I should get my MBA. My dad’s boss is American so he already had a setup.
“I came home one day and said; I think I really want to be an actor, it became unbearable to stay at home. One day, my dad woke up and told me that there cannot be two captains on the ship.
“It was either I take one year, go do whatever nonsense I wanted to do, come back, and then we set the course again or I leave his house. So I left but my mother started supporting and I think that is what makes mothers as unique as they are “.
