Which actress spent some time working hard amidst distractions and other challenges and still found time to unwind? Certainly you will find many and Chika Ike is among them. Throughout the New Year she charged the atmosphere in the entertainment industry when she travelled to Abu Dhabi on her break and kept many tongues wagging.
Chika is like the proverbial cat with nine lives as she's grappling with an unsuccessful mar- riage that has not prevented her from exploring her talents. She started as a design, then ventured into business with her outfit called Fancy Nancy.
Today she's probably the most sought-after actress in Nollywood. The Anambra-born actress who has put her failed marriage behind her and moved on with her life is unrelent- ing in her career and she was recently vested with the title of Akwa Ugo 1 of Amuri Kingdom in recognition of her industriousness and philanthropy. In this interview with Christian Agadibe, Ms Ike covers lessons she learnt from her first marriage and other issues.
