Veteran Nollywood actors, Segun Arinze and Emeka Ike have officially ended their long-standing rift, which began in 2009 over the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) leadership tussle.
The dispute started after Emeka Ike lost the AGN presidency to Segun Arinze in 2010 and subsequently challenged the election result in court.
However, in a recent interview with QED.ng, Arinze confirmed that the conflict had naturally ended, and both actors are now on good terms.
“Emeka Ike is a fine actor. We still talk and laugh over those things. It wasn’t a personal quarrel; it was about the AGN position, which is why I left it,” he said.
Arinze emphasized the importance of letting go of grudges, adding, “What are we having enemies for? Life is short. We are growing old, and he is my friend. I have even invited him for lunch or dinner whenever he is around.”
