Veteran Nigerian actors Segun Arinze and Emeka Ike have ended their years-long fight.
The two Nollywood stars’ crisis began in 2009 over the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, leadership tussle.
After losing the AGN presidency election to Segun Arinze, Emeka Ike in 2010 went to court to challenge the outcome of the poll. He asked the court to nullify the election.
However, updating the public about the age-long fight, Arinze in his latest interview with QED.ng’s Olumide Iyanda, disclosed that he and Ike have resolved their feud.
“Emeka Ike is a fine actor. We still talk and laugh over those things. The conflict ended naturally. We weren’t quarrelling. It was just about the AGN position. That’s why I left the position.
“What are we having enemies for? Travel light. How long do you have to live in the world that you want to carry on your shoulders? What do I need that animosity for? We are growing old. He is my friend, and I have asked him to go for lunch or dinner whenever he is around.”
