Nollywood legend, Segun Arinze has opened up on his feud with colleague, Emeka Ike, revealing how they’ve reconciled already.
During an interview with QED.ng’s Olumide Iyanda, Segun disclosed that he and Emeka Ike have resolved their issues naturally. The two actors, who once had a strained relationship, have now buried the hatchet and moved past their previous conflicts.
Segun addressed their past conflict, saying, “Emeka Ike is a fine actor. We still talk and laugh about those things. The conflict ended naturally.” He further explained that over time, they both moved forward and were able to let go of the negativity surrounding their previous disagreements.
The two actors had a falling out back in 2009 when they clashed over the leadership role in the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN). In 2011, Emeka Ike took legal action by obtaining a court injunction against the guild’s elections, which forced Segun Arinze to step down as president. The legal dispute marked a challenging chapter in their relationship, but it appears both have found peace since then.
Segun Arinze emphasized the importance of letting go of grudges and negativity, sharing his thoughts on the matter: “Hate is a burden. Travel light. What do I need that animosity for?” His statement reflects a mature and positive approach to resolving conflicts and moving on from the past.
The reconciliation between Segun Arinze and Emeka Ike serves as a reminder that even long-standing feuds can be resolved with understanding, forgiveness, and time. It also underscores the significance of personal growth and prioritizing peace over lingering resentment.
