Gideon Okeke Explains Why Negligence Is The Reason He Went All Out On Veteran Actor Jim Iyke
Blogs and news reporters are buzzing as actor Gideon Okeke recently unleashed a storm of criticism against veteran actor Jim Iyke, calling him all sorts; “fake actor” and a “small boy” with a “fake American accent.” But what triggered this public outburst?
In a candid Instagram post, Okeke revealed that his harsh words stemmed from a serious injury he sustained while filming on Iyke’s set, which required two stitches and took three months to heal. He expressed his frustration over the lack of safety measures in the industry, referencing a tragic incident involving fellow actor Junior Pope, who lost his life as a severe consequence of negligence earlier this year.
Okeke’s posts highlighted his commitment to advocating for safety in Nollywood. He stated, “Had I gotten anything more than these 2 stitches, y’all would still call me a fool.” His experience served as a wake-up call, motivating him to prevent similar mishaps from occurring to others.
He emphasized the need for accountability in the industry, arguing that “one death is too many” and calling out Jim Iyke for neglecting the safety of cast members. Okeke’s passionate plea resonates with many in the industry, shedding light on a critical issue that often goes unnoticed.This feud not only exposes personal grievances but also raises important questions about the standards of safety and professionalism in Nollywood.
As fans rally behind Okeke’s call for change, the spotlight is now on Jim Iyke to address these serious allegations. One thing I’m sure of is that Jim Iyke will respond, and his response will be laced with vile and venom with a mix of savagery.
