Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedezie, popularly
known as Aki, has revealed how he met his wife.
In an interview with Sun newspaper, the actor
claimed he approached his wife the first time he
met her and asked her to marry him.
“I met her just the way every other man meets his
wife. I made the first move ..I just told her baby,
let’s do this and the rest is history.”
On growing up, he said “Let me tell you something
about my birth. My mum put to bed at exactly 12
am on the dot the day I was born; as soon as it
was 12 am, I popped out! One peculiar thing about
my mum is that she goes to the labour room with
her wristwatch and once she gives birth, she
records the time.
And God has so blessed her, she delivered like the
Hebrew women; she never had complications. I
came into the world at exactly 12 am on the dot on
the 12 day of the 12 month of the year so that
means there is something unique about me
(laughter). Growing up, my parents wondered how
I would end up because they couldn’t even dictate
to me. You know, parents have a way of knowing
what their kids would be in the future. They would
be like this one is going to be a medical doctor
and that one is going to be an engineer. In my
case, they couldn’t tell where I was headed
because I seemed to have a knack for everything;
that’s the making behind my life and who I am
today.”
He further talked about how he met and became
very close with fellow actor, Osita Iheme.
“I started acting in 1998. He came into the
industry three years later in 2001. I was in school
then and we had a job so he had this opportunity
to shoot in Enugu. He had just started acting then.
We met in the hotel lobby where we were lodged.
We talked and I discovered he was a very shy
fellow. Before then, Amayo Uzor had been telling
me that ‘Chinedu, just hang on, there is boy I have
seen that looks just like you and guess what, he is
in the industry and I am working on a script for the
both of you.’ After our meeting, they called us and
gave us scripts; that was the first time I did pure
comedy. The movie was entitled Aki Na Ukwa”.
