Reflecting on their reconciliation, Segun emphasized the importance of letting go of animosity.
Veteran actor, Segun Arinze has revealed that there is no bad blood between him and his colleague, Emeka Ike, as they settled their rift long ago.
Speaking with QED.ng publisher Olumide Iyanda, the 59-year-old addressed their past conflict, saying, “Emeka Ike is a fine actor. We still talk and laugh about those things. The conflict ended naturally.”
Their dispute stemmed from a leadership tussle within the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) in 2009, when Emeka challenged Segun’s presidency. The issue escalated in 2011 when Emeka secured a court injunction against the guild’s elections. Segun eventually stepped down in May 2012.
Reflecting on their reconciliation, Segun emphasized the importance of letting go of animosity. “Hate is a burden. Travel light. What do I need that animosity for?” he said.
