“Why My Biological Father Chased Me Away From Home” – Actor Jim Iyke Reveals

Veteran Nollywood actor and businessman, Jim Iyke has revealed why his biological father chased him away from his house.

He disclosed this in a recent interview. According to him, his biological father chased him from home because of his acting career but he was fortunate to get the support of his mother.

He further said that his father wanted him to take his academics seriously but he was only interested in acting.

He said:
”I was a straight A student and my parent had already planned my life. I was about 18 and a half when I finished my first degree. The whole plan was I should get my MBA. My dad’s boss is American so he already had a setup.

“I came home one day and said; I think I really want to be an actor, it became unbearable to stay at home. One day, my dad woke up and told me that there cannot be two captains on the ship.

“It was either I take one year, go do whatever nonsense I wanted to do, come back, and then we set the course again or I leave his house. So I left but my mother started supporting and I think that is what makes mothers as unique as they are “.
