Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki) plans bigger wedding and honeymoon (Photos)

It was more like a carnival when star actor, Chinedu Ikedieze tied the knot, the traditional way, with Nneoma Nwaijah the lady that stole his petite heart.

Held at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church field, Imo State, Nigeria, Chinedu and Nneoma’s wedding attracted a mammoth crowd, made up of his colleagues in the movie industry, Governors, other top Nigerian government officials, and thousands of his fans all over.

In a recent interview, Aki spoke about his love story.

“There are wives and there are wives, also there are friends and there are friends. It is easy to have a girlfriend and enjoy yourself and have fun. But I have found out that when you want to settle down you must do that with somebody that will and must make you happy always. Nneoma makes me happy always. When I met her in 2008, it was not quite easy, but I first saw her in 2005 in Lagos, on the mainland. She visited the production where I was working; she was still in school then as an undergraduate. From there, we became casual friends until that 2008 when we decided to move the friendship to the next level and by the grace of God, this is the result.”

Asked, how/ where did you propose to her and where are you taking madam for honeymoon, he said:

“This is one secret I want to keep to myself till further notice, I am sorry about that, it was just between us and not meant for the public and about the honeymoon, We have like five places in mind, the Bahamas, Qatar, Mauritius, Caribbean Islands and one or two other places we are still considering.”

Pain in the ass

Its breaks my heart most time to see how many innocent Nigerians had been treated and still going through horrible maltreatment in hands of heartless and unfriendly fellow human beings across SEA countries and few dating sites publicly making a racial and abusive statements about Nigerians such as "Beware of Nigerian Men" and this is seemly cool with them but I consider this being unfair and its has to stop. Nigerians are not as bad as its usually painted in sites and few public media.

People behind this evil acts I believe are doing it for selfish reasons and its not the best methodology to curb crime. There's no country void of law breakers and when one caught doing unlawful things, that person should be treated as individual and meant to face the law. Making generalization is the worse pain happening to many innocent Nigerians like me. A very "closed friend" of mine was on phone with me earlier today from neighboring country and she said guess what? I assumed something nice or something more fascinating from her in mind but she jokingly said I saw a little written note warning tourists to beware of Nigerians. I had nothing to say in response to her but was a bit upset how that could be interesting thing to share with me but, then I kept to myself in order not to over react and not ruin our conversation. Oops at my friend though! 

Aims are never achieved at painting one's bad instead its makes stupid of those deliberately engaging themselves in doing evils to others just to gain favor in whatsoever way at detriment of innocent people suffering from their evil doing. You can't hold a man down without going down with him. I'd advise that anyone involve in this ugly and evil acts should deceit from it now hence would soon be caught up with law. And anyone having issued with Nigerians should refer it to community leaders abroad and you are assured of peaceful resolution and justice must take it course. Don't generalize but treat them as individuals!

On the other hand, the solution lies within Nigerians and federal republic of Nigeria. I think its high time FG has to wake up from their slobber to this call and consider it full priority and a course that must be defeated. Enough of these people painting us as bad people everywhere. As at 1980 to '83 Nigeria was a peaceful and loving country until then government transition went into wrong hands and Nigerians were exposed to certain different kinds of world which has led to present Nigeria. Something has to be done in returning things to normal and ensure the world see us as changed people. 

I'm calling on every single Nigerians out there to always think of national pride first in any of their daily endeavor with people. We're image maker of our dear country and public views is the manner in which we presents ourselves. You know you are not bad as they think and for people to recognize and identify you as different, you have to stand up high for what's right and up hold righteousness. Do unto others what you what them do to you. Condemn or discourage anyone indulging in any form of illegal activities that may jeopardize our country name and even as people. Let's stop resorting to violence as means of resolving disputes with people and embrace peace as its our national symbol. 

Seek right advise from people you look on to and don't make haste trying to acquire good taste of life. To everything there's time and season and yours would come when its your time. Its simply law of nature and nothing can be done to change this fact. Nigerians its time to chat a new course for a positive change and cohesiveness with our various hosts. Things can't continue to be bad. Wake up!
