Nollywood actor Jim Iyke recently had
an interesting interview where he talked about his undying love for his
sweetheart, Nadia Buari, and his addiction to sunglasses and Sneakers.
Taking
about the Ghanaian actress who has stolen his heart long time ago, he
said, 'Nadia is a solid, down-to-earth woman. I’m a man that translates
variables in ways many people find incomprehensible. We have embraced
who we are and learnt to create our own world and expectations. We have
ups and downs like every other couple.
“We have our strength and
weakness as well. At the end of the day, rumours of break ups and
make-ups ought to abound. It really doesn’t matter. A relationship is a
continuous work. Those that give up were perhaps not committed enough.
Those
that go in for the long haul suck up and square up to the variables
life throws at them. The people that judge harshly are obviously the
ones that live far from their desired lives. We just live the best way
we know how and leave the rest to the author and finisher of all
things.”
Jim also talked about his fashion sense and his love for
sunglasses. “I have about 125 pairs of sunglasses. I think I own about
200 pairs of shoes and sneakers and it is not something to brag about. I
like shoes and I collect them.
I get shoes that are much branded
and are limited edition. For, me it is not just about making a fashion
statement anymore, it is art."
Its indisputable that the Anambra
state born actor is a fashion icon in the Nigerian entertainment
industry, he reveals his best designers and outfits
“I am not
brand crazy. The designer labels cost a lot of money but there is a
healthy competition; which is why I find the fashion market very
interesting. I have been to factories that make goods for Gucci.
These
are people working on a smaller scale and these are the ones I hire to
make my clothes and they give me what I want. However, I always buy what
I know I would look good in.
On why he rarely acts Nollywood Movies
“When
you arrive at the pinnacle of a career pursuit where else do you go? I
surmounted that apex long in my prime. I was the guy that made 38 films
in a year! I had created the work-machine image and inevitably also made
myself socially redundant.
I couldn't glean at the moment of my
decision till late what else that world had for me. It was a vicious
circle of constant, monotonous engagement.
“Nothing was
challenging anymore. It (Nollywood) was too easy, too perpetual, having
travelled same circles and faced same obstacles. I also earned same
bracket, produced and invested in the same suffocating projects.
The
secret of the constantly progressive individual is the ability to
discern when to shift focus and reinvent even if it’s temporarily. I
took all I had, the vast contacts I had gathered, and moved into the
world of business and facilitation.”
