An internationally reorganized Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has revealed that his divorcee with three kids is part of his life story he kept away from the public.
Speaking on Nigerian TV host, filmmaker, and media entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo’s show recently, the award-winning actor noted that he got very emotional after the death of his mother and lost the focus of giving attention to his then-wife.
The actor who was speaking on Chude Jideonwo’s show recently says, he noted he became very emotional after the death of his mother which made him automatically lose the focus of giving attention to his then-wife.
“I have had a failed marriage but nobody knows that. I have three kids. I caused my marriage to fail. I am not the type that would blame anybody for my mistakes. There is a saying, ‘to boss up, own up’, there is a part of me that would take the easier route out.
“Anytime I did anything mediocre in my life, I always did it when I was emotional because I am extremely proficient in being deliberate and strategic about everything I do.
“Every time I failed; it was because I got emotional. I became mediocre then I appeal to the smaller man in me and the part that was not emotionally intelligent.”
According to the actor, because of his direct closeness with his mother, everyone was scared to inform him about her mother’s death.
“When I lost my mother, I could not find my feet for years. There was a lifestyle, spiritual connection that I lost. It took them 72 hours to tell me that I had lost my mother and then, I just got out of an interview in London.
“There is always that one person in the family that is a deliverer of bad news. The person who does that in our family said he would not break the news to me because there is a great chance I would not make it,” he said.
Having lost his mother, his close pal, Jim Iyke said he transferred the love he had for his mother to his son.
“I lost my sense of humor, the lion in me, and the leader in me. I just gave myself to the elements, so she suffered for that. I became an obsessive dad. I took everything in me to my son.
“I was changing diapers; I was the proper stay-home dad. I took everything to him and left her behind. I took all my love and attention and invested it in my son and left her behind. I was an excellent father and a woeful husband. They are white, they are not built like us.
“After a while, she said, I can’t find who I married. Then we parted as friends,” Jim Iyke narrated
