PRESS RELEASE
''Smarting from his victory at the federal high court on March 16, 2015 Amb. Emeka Ike president of Actors Guild of Nigeria is set to unveil a new board of trustees for the Guild
A statement signed by the National PRO Mcsmith Ochendo said that the new board of trustees is made of men and women of repute drawn from the six Geo-political zone of the country.
The 15-man Board which shall be inaugurated in May is made of erudite politicians, Business moguls, the academia and the entertainment industry - Nollywood.
“When the full names of the newly constituted Board of Trustees are finally made public the industry will be proud of the men and women who have made their mark in their various fields of Endeavor. Take it from me, AGN is now global brand and can no longer be run like a personal enterprise by a few” Ochendo said
A federal high court sitting in Lagos had dissolved the Ifeanyi Dike led Board of trustees for running the affairs of the Guild since inception.
Speaking further the AGN National PRO said...
“We want to appeal to the Nigerian Media to stop referring and relating to Ibinabo as president of AGN, because she has been sacked by the federal high court. Ibinabo Fiberesima cannot be bigger than the laws of our land. She is violating a court Judgement and the media should stop indulging her. As at today there is no proof that Ibinabo fiberesima has filled any appeal but she keeps spreading falsehood on social media.
The court is not swayed by social media propaganda. The Federal high court gave her ninety days to surrender the Guild’s documents in her possession and the court also ruled that the Guild’s account should be audited but Ibinabo is using thugs and cultists to harass our President, Amb. Emeka Ike and auditors sent to audit the Guild’s account as instructed by the federal high court.
To this end we have filed contempt of court against Ibinabo fiberesima for violating court judgment and deceiving the Nigerian public. We are also asking the court to grant us order to immediately arrest Ibinabo and bring her to Judgement once and for all. We have also decided to write to the EFCC to investigate her financial misappropriation. Remember this is the same Ibinabo Fiberesima who was convicted in a case of man-slaughter between her and the government of Lagos State a few years back where she caused the death of Dr Suraj Giwa, a US trained doctor via drinking and dangerous driving and was sentenced to 5 years in prison before Hon. Justice D.O Oluwayemi with suit NO LD/4CA/07.
She has not shown any remorse, she has not served her jail term. She is an ex-convict. She ought not to be AGN president, even our guild’s constitution forbids it but Ifeanyi Dike and his moribund BOT shamelessly plunged the guild into this mess until the court did the needful by sacking the Jezebel of Nollywood” Ochendo concludes.

National PRO, AGN.
I read through this press release and shook my head in shock that anyone would sit down to draft such..why try to use a woman'S past to judge her and bring her down just because you want to become President?
WHY JUDGE?
Are you God?
Is Emeka Ike without sin?
This press release is wicked and Malicious and it is a pity.Nollywood will never go beyond where it is with this mindset.
Nollywood has now been divided. APC Vs. PDD.
ReplyDeletemake una continue. we dey watch
Wait o, Emeka Ike should goan sleep jare, what's his own? Let her be jare.
DeleteNO ONE is perfect. We all have made mistakes and he isn't exempted.
He's just hungry. He hasn't featured in any movie so he needs where he'll get his daily bread.
Nonsense and Ingredient!!! Mschew.
Well truthfully speaking if there's a law against an ex-convict being president then ibinabo shouldn't be there. It wasn't her fault we know but a law is a law. Why is agn hell bent on ibinabo not being their president? There's probably more to it.
DeleteThe anomalies in this guild' and their election exceeds that of Nigeria as a whole. See as they keep fighting as if their life depends on it. Na wa o
DeleteIbinabo being an ex convict is so stale and they have over flogged the issue...
ReplyDeleteMe am tired of hearing it over and over again...
Emeka Ike and his co should try harder cos Ibinabo is unshakable...
EFCC ko NDLEA ni...
This disgusting man
DeleteSaw him one day while taking a walk with my friends
He dropped a runs girl right in front of us
gave her money and drove off
Ugly girl for that matter..
I no just like am sham sham
Failed actor, wife beater
Coco, wife beater?
DeleteMy own be say I no know y I no like am...I just don't like him, simple.
Talking of being upright. Isn't this Emeka the same one that was evicted by his 80yr old landlord for refusing to pay rent for years? Running a school without paying teacher's their salaries, and also insulted and almost physically harassed the old landlord? Then his furniture was put out on the street to disgrace him. With such sense of irresponsibility, how can he be bold to condemn another person in public???. Na question I ask. Issshhh
DeleteMy dear I wish he gets to read dis!!! People also throwing the first stone
DeletePut the truth in focus. I don't care Emeka whether he paid rent or not or beat Emma - that has no bearing in this case..
DeleteI'm more concerned with the law. So, is there a law that prevents an ex convict from holding the position? If there is and regardless of what Ibinabo has done or didn't do for the guild, the question remains - why was she president?
This is what happens when most women get into power...it intoxicates them.
ReplyDeleteI dont care abt her past, but if d court nullifies her office, appeal or handover.
Stella don't be judgemental! Let her leave d post in peace. D money wey she chop never do? Treating d industry as if it's her father's throne. Smh.
ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi. But wait I Stella, why putting your opinion to us? Are u trying to create sympathy for ibinabo becos she's a woman? Just asking....
ReplyDeleteU don come shebi....does she not always share her opinion?
DeleteStella the truth be told ibinabo is an ex-convict and also she has not done well but all the same Emeka ike why the rush to be AGN President you have your own sins too.if they like make dem kill there self becus of the money way dey am
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, if Ibinabo has been relieved of her duty as AGN president by a reputable court of law, then she should respect herself and abide by the judgement.
DeleteLet's not mix sympathy with the situation. Although I do not support her past being repeated at the slightest argument with her colleagues. It's so juvenile. But let Ibinabo comply with the rule of law. Simple
The SE and SS war has just begun. Una never even break away una don dey fight. Please let naija split already.
ReplyDeleteNa Wa!! Y'all should
ReplyDeleteDig Deep and Challenge Yourself
This press statement is all shades of wrong...smdh
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if u can go to dis level just for AGN president, I wonder wat u wil do for Nig. Politics...Emulate Humility, it wil serve u beta
ReplyDeleteOga, u ve got no shame nd u sound like a Man dat can abuse a woman...#by their words, we shal knw them#....Mtchew!!!
You nailed it. He is so desperate God!!
DeleteAGN..na aso rock? Your mate d contest for house of assembly and governorship u dey there de mk noise.
DeleteOdiegwu!

Jezebel of nollywood?? Ewooooooooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy so much bitterness. I tire for human beings o
ReplyDeleteNa wah. Nollywood go soon collapse.
ReplyDeleteNigerians and drama! Congratulations Emeka
ReplyDeleteStella u are not in Nollywood and u don't know what's going on dia. Ibinabo should take a clue from oga Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteStella, truth be told, I've got nothing against ibinabo but someone with such past shouldn't hold a position of that magnitude. Its as simple as that. And no, I do not think emeka ike deserves to be d president. How ibinabo became d president is something that still baffles me, I have never seen her in any nollywood movie or aren't u supposed to be an active actor/actress to hold such position?
ReplyDeleteBefore una start with una curses, the last part is an obvious question.
Ibinabo's father's Jonathan's chief physician,that's how
DeleteTrue talk Eka. I have never see that Ibinabo in movies before like other A list actresses. How did she become AGN president?
DeleteNa them sabi
ReplyDeleteEmeka please take it easy,you are too desperate for power.
My thoughts exactly Stella..... Nollywood would never grow with dis mindset.
ReplyDeleteMay the better man win u don't care let them drag it with themselves.give it to the stronger man
ReplyDeleteStella they are both at war with each other and this is expected during the election both parties look for ways to bring each other down in order to gain the support of the masses,so am not surprised ibinabo have flawa I mean dent all over her and in such case like this that will never be forgotten,you only forgive people,you don't forget,am such the person ibinabo killed his family feel the same. The court has grant emeka ike as the rightful person to be there ibinabo should just vacate the seat and let them do their work,she should concede defeat and move on, dose she want to forcefully remain there mtcheeeeew
ReplyDeleteDnt mind d foolish ugly girl.
DeleteHmmmmm dramatic nollywood. Let's keep watching.
ReplyDeleteEmeka Ike Pls free ibinabo,you are just too despirate for AGN president...mtcheeeeeeeeew
ReplyDeleteU really need 2 learn how 2 spell desperate like wtf??
DeleteDrama every where. Let me watch while it unfold
ReplyDeleteThats d biggest problem with women.When you give them power it tends to get to their heads.I dont care about her past but if she has been served, let her leave abeg.Its not a must to be a president.Emeka Ike make sure you inlcude peaple like Mama Joke Silver and Pete Edochie etc not untested chaps.
ReplyDeleteGbam! Joke silver and Pete edichie. Where ar these great people wen someone av never seen in just one movie became their president. They lady don't deserve the sit. They should make sure they look into d acct cos I no trust her
DeleteEmeka too like drama, i dont even remember the last time i saw him acting.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Emeka Ike so desperare to head this guild? He's career as an actor has failed. He has nothing to offer. Please he should shift ti ine corner.
ReplyDeleteThe problem these actors and actresses have is that the beef themselves alot. There's so much hatred amongst themselves, and the need to prove that one is better than the other. Emeka Ike is no different. Very spiteful fellow, and arrogant. Why not make his point without referring to ibinabo's past, like he's clean himself. Mschewww.
ReplyDeleteIbinabo should respect the court judgment and hand over. She is not above the law
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to say killing a medical Dooctor while u re drunk n driving is a stale news when u re not d Doctor's family. Ibinabo should spend d rest of her live out of d media for respect for d murdered Doctor n d family
ReplyDeleteAs in...d caliber of women on this blog(including d owner) go fear u,I pray I never come across anything so shallow minded in my entire life n d hereafter
DeleteHian...when did dey giv rulling that Emeka nwa ike is already setting tempo biko kwa?...he should take a chill pill.nyash don de itch am since to sidon der. eeeishh*rollingeyes*
ReplyDeleteHian...when did dey giv rulling that Emeka nwa ike is already setting tempo biko kwa?...he should take a chill pill.nyash don de itch am since to sidon der. eeeishh*rollingeyes*
ReplyDeleteThis stupid Emeka needs to be checked medically...His acting career is dead and he's broke.
ReplyDeleteIbinabo is an ex convict bla bla bla, was Mandela and Obj not an ex convict? Bloody irritants.
Hmmmm! All they do is call her an ex convict, is that all? Please call her another, even a foetus knows she us, rubbish. IB you self handover nau, the court has given its judgment. Respect the rule of law
ReplyDeleteIbinabo should let go already ahn ahn!
ReplyDeleteOr does she want to die there..
Emeka Ike is an opportunist
ReplyDeleteAnd a crazy one at that...Ibinabo kpele oo
But it wasn't emeka ike who wrote this na
ReplyDeleteStell biko stop being sentimental. Our legal system has provided a system of seeking redress. She should either file an appeal, or step down in peace.
ReplyDeleteI like Ibinabo so much but the court nullified the election that brought her into the office.
ReplyDeleteCan't she respect the rules of the court? As GEJ don comot, i wonder what she will do next.
Emeka Ike stop using people's past against them, that is unfair. You can drive your case home without calling her names.
By the way Emeka, stop beating your wife and for once...COMB YOUR HAIR.
Is that like physics to you?
XOXO MYSTERY
Ibinabo has one leg in jail.
ReplyDeleteBuhari must jail because Giwa,s wife is on. Standby to start up the case.
Ibinabo please call Emeka and concede defeat. Even though the person that wrote this piece messed up by bringing up dead issues
ReplyDeleteIbinabo had no justification to contest in the first place. No one is using her past to judge her but the record is there for all to see. She is an ex convict! Has she served her jail term? Here is a country where sum1 with go to jail for stealing food for his family yet she walks free. Let's call a spade a spade! The court court has ruled, she should follow d judgement and lick her wounded ego. Shes being parading herself like sum1 who is above the law.
ReplyDeleteEmeka your time has come! U have waited this long and finally vindicated. Justice may be prolonged, but its not denied. I understand the rush to be agn president, cos when u have being deprived of sumthg for so long and u finally get it, u will feel high. But chill! He who God has blessed, no one can curse. Congrats!
Gbamest, for Ur first paragraph. But as for d second paragraph, I no gree, they should conduct another
DeleteHow many years will they use in dragging this matter? Emeka you are acting too desperate abeg. See the way u and dis your imbecile sounding P.r.o just open mouth finish ibinabo. Enough already biko. Ibinabo you ma leave the seat abeg for them. There's honour in honorably conceding and watching what an opponent castigating you can offer. Abeg na una sabi. Nollywood acting their dramas in real life
ReplyDeleteEmeka might end up in jail if he's not careful coz he came for his share of AGN's money forgetting that soon Buhari will take over and corruption will stop
ReplyDeleteI dnt knw what happnd bt since d court had presided nd deliver it's judgement ibinabo shuld either contest or accept defeat and stell pls Wats dis hypocrisy all about? We all knw d crime ibinabo commited weda we like it or not d past can't be erased
ReplyDeleteStella's hypocrisy didn't start 2day,she's always been a fraud

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
I don't like Ibinabo, I don't like Emeka!
ReplyDeleteDrama in low places...I waka pass.
ReplyDeleteAn ex convict cannot be the AGN president .ibinabo should leave dt office . Dts the problem with Nigerians .why should she be the AGN president? They are more qualified persons
ReplyDeleteHe will not live up to their expectation. Dude has got major issues!let's see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteEmeka ike is too loud mouthed and very arrogant but that doesn't mean I like ibinabo too,the best thing that needs to be done is dissolve the house and conduct another election.
ReplyDeleteTo All Nigerians,
ReplyDeleteI will like to say I do not know Emeka or Ibenabo. But I am on the side of Emeka...
Why are Nigerians like this? Why is anyone above the law? If you have such blemish why come out for public office? You will definitely be put under scrutiny? It is with this intensity we must stamp corruption. She is from the same place as GEJ, and we all know that she had his backing. But why not do the right thing?
The bible says we must take it violently. We cannot allow this to happen. To see the things people write in response is shameful....if it was your family member that got killed and the person responsible has not done their time instead is holding a big position in society, will you like it?
Ride on Emeka...lets get rid of this trash that give Nigeria and Nigerians a bad name. Only to go to Aso rock everyday that's all they know.
Ah ah u have made salient points but would like to take lightly the bible quote u mentioned. "The violent taketh it by force" isn't only applicable to Emeka, perhaps Ibinabo is taking it by force too. Lol.
DeleteBut seriously, I agree that Ibinabo should respect the ruling. But my question is thus, why did the guild cooperate with Ibinabo from the onset if the mandate was against her?
Why is the entire group parading her as president at all? And why is Emeka the only one protesting against the illegal presidency? Are the others oblivious to the court decision or what?
And lastly, for the sake of the memory of the deceased and the bereaved family, this people should stop mentioning the deceased in their banter. This will only refresh healed wounds and would bring to remembrance the unfortunate incident. Can they at least respect that? Not for Ibinabo, as I care less. But for the family of that man.
Seriously I feel Ib should go and rest and face her new boo. Abide by d court ruling. Let's see how it goes with EI.
ReplyDeletethe rules are very clear - as an ex-convict you cannot be the guild chairman; therefore she is ineligible and should step aside
ReplyDeletethis culture of impunity has to stop...stella you sef you are a big embarrassment...you think the Germany where u dey go allow you commit manslaughter and not go to jail...?? hian...all these south south and south east people sef...they can like to not obey the law....
SS n SE pipo're just too damn daft
DeleteStella I have noticed a trend when you comment on a press release from Emeka Ike, why are you always negative?
ReplyDeletePlease give your opinions but also be critical.
I like EI and I have no doubt he has what it takes to help Nollywood progress in structural and productive way. Been a CEO also involves building Nollywood and enabling it become greater than it was, and not about public displays of partying with politicians.
Signnns
First ...Emeka will not have the support of the Alisters of Nollywood like IB had plus even if the court declare the past election void ..it doesn't make him the president ...another election to elect an AGN president should take place
