Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has disclosed that the veteran actor Emeka Ike was among those who served as inspiration for him to venture into acting.
He made this revelation while extending a warm welcome to the legendary actor back to the cinema through Toyin Abraham’s ‘Malaika.’
Edochie further offered encouragement to Emeka Ike, advising him not to let the ongoing issues with his ex-wife affect his spirits.
Edochie assured the veteran actor that he has more supporters than critics and advised him to pay no heed to the surrounding “noise.”
In an Instagram post, Edochie wrote: “Good to have you back in the game big bro. The Legendary Emeka Ike. @emekaikeofficial
Odogwu!
“You’re one of the actors who inspired me to come up. I’m a big fan of your work.
We love you bro. Trust me, the people who love you are more than your haters. But the haters always make more noise. Ignore the noise.
“Don’t let nobody bring you down.
Keep your head up, Boss. Life will constantly try to put you down. No gree.”
He encouraged Ike to peacefully resolve matters with his family, emphasizing that those spreading the news might not have harmonious homes either.
