Jim Iyke recently sat down with Nigerian journalist and lawyer Chude Jidenowo to talk about his failed marriages and what he lost when his mother who he described as his best friend died.
The Nollywood veteran whose real name is James Ikechukwu also spoke fondly about his three children and why he has not been successful with marriage, having divorced twice already.
In his words; “I have failed many times. I have had failed marriages, I have three beautiful kids, so how are you gonna know cos of my strategic pattern. Even people that live in my space don’t know…Even my sisters call to hear from me, even my PAs don’t know stuffs. I keep everyone on their toes with my level of unpredictability, I hate being figured out…once you figure me out, I have nothing else to offer, I refuse to be figured out and tamed”.
Speaking on how his marriages collapsed, he said: “I suffered a loss. My mum died. She was my best friend and business strategist. …she is so smart that it is ridiculous…it was a relationship based on friendship and mutual respect….she always had the right words and advise to me….I lost all that when she died, there was a spirituality and connection that I lost after she died….we were so close that it took them 72 hours to inform me of her death…I am a product of love, my parents were so in love with each other so her death shattered my dad too….their kind of relationship opened my eyes to the kind of marriage I wanted too….
