I cannot trade words with a common street boy like Segun Arinze – Emeka Ike

Following Segun Arinze's comment on the

controversial AGN presidency, Nollywood actor,

Emeka Ike, has noted that the actor should be locked

up in jail considering his roles in the AGN.

It will be recalled that recently, the bulgy-eyed

actor had said Emeka should grow up and stop

parading himself as the President of the Actors

Guild of Nigeria.

Emeka who from all social standard has never let

anyone dared his personality, has reacted to the

statement, saying Arinze was simply cursing

himself in the report he had termed biased. He

referred to Arinze as an illiterate who is bereaved of

basic understanding of the law.

"I heard Segun Arinze was interviewed and he said

so many things about me and nobody asked me for

my own side. I don't think it was a balanced report,"

he said.

"Segun Arinze did not say anything meaningful, he

was just cursing himself. That is not how to handle

legal matters. In legal matters, we take things from

the law's point of view. Segun that is talking to the

journalist is supposed to be behind bars because he

committed a crime that should have sent him to jail.

The embattled father of four further noted that there

was an order that he violated by bringing in Ibinabo

as the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

"I have been saying this since. That is why

Ibinabo's tenure was called contentious," Emeka

noted.

He said trading words with Segun will be a waste of

time since he has been unable to read and

understand the legal terms of the court order.

"I cannot be trading words with a common street

boy because if you did not go to school, you cannot

understand some legal issues. So, he cannot

assess the judgment of the court of law.

"Why should we the educated people allow market

people to talk? I am a very cerebral person and I

don't deal with men who cannot read and do not

understand the legalities of the paper they have in

their hand."
