Emeka Ike: “My Ex-Wife Loved Watching Women Who Killed Their Husbands & Children”

Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has spoken out about the break down of his marriage which was publicised on social media a few weeks ago.

“The court dissolved my marriage illegally; I want people to get
it right. For you to dissolve a marriage, the man and his lawyer must be
present in court to sign some documents. Ask them, was either my lawyer
or myself present in court on that day? Is it possible to say the
marriage has been dissolved? My wife says that I am a wife beater but
the same woman two years ago in church during counselling,
wrote it down that I am a caring man who is selfless and loves his
family. She wrote that I love her and my lawyer still has the written
note. She made this statement at The Redeemed Assemblies of God church
in Magodo, Lagos. Can I possess all these and still beat my wife? Six months later, she began to sing another tune and I know she was advised by some people that it was the only way to leave the marriage.

“The reason why I have not signed the papers is because
of the blackmail involved and my name that has been tarnished. She is
spoiling my name; I would fight to clear myself of being called a wife
beater with everything I have. I hate being referred to as a wife beater
because I am not one. Any man that does that does not deserve to be
called a father or a man because you are stronger than the woman,”.

Emeka, who has custody of his kids, claimed the kids do not want to see their mother.

“My children do not want to see their mother. When my daughter
heard she would be taken to Lagos to be with her mother, she was crying
profusely because she did not want to go to meet her. The children are
scared of her. People have been asking me how my children have been
coping with this whole drama but the truth is that they don’t want to
see her. If you threaten our daughter that she would go to Lagos to meet
her mother, she would cry and do everything you want her to do in the
house just because she doesn’t want to see her. Now my children are
suffering emotionally, I even had to pay their matron double the money
she asked for to make my children comfortable so they don’t really miss
their mother. I am not happy that my daughter does not have a role
model. The children are really irritated by their mother. I have a lot
of evidence of child abuse against her but I am waiting for the right
time to arrest her. Even in court, her son testified against her. She
has tried to use the press against me by saying that I am a wife beater
but I have never touched her in my life. This is a real story and not a
joke. Her best TV station is the criminal investigation channel; she
stays up till 4am
to watch the channel for over five years. At first, I used to enjoy
watching it with her. She watched the programmes about women who killed
their husbands, children, relatives. How would you wake up by 4am and not see your wife on the bed only to go downstairs and see her watching that station as if she is taking notes.
I had to ask her if she wanted to kill somebody with the way she
watched the station but she just switched off the television, went to
her room and slept.

“This is the story of my life. This is a woman whom I brought out of a one room
apartment she was living with her mother, the other room was covered
with zinc but I built a two-bedroomed apartment for them. I went to her
village and built a three-bedroomed apartment for her. I trained her
from secondary school to Master’s degree level. Is this how she is
supposed to pay me back? No one is looking at all this but they would go
online to say that I am bitter. Some men suffer like me but they died
for nothing. That is why I dedicated my award to all the men that lost
their lives to the women they loved,”

On the photo of him and a mystery lady that hit social media days ago, Emeka said:
“People saw a picture of me and a lady together and they have
already begun to conclude different things. Love is not a public thing
but a private matter, however, the lady I was pictured with is truly a
South African and also of a German descent but she is my friend and we
took pictures. People should leave it like that. When I want to get
married again, everyone would know and that is if there will be anything
like that. But at the moment, the lady is just my friend,” he said.
