Veteran Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has explained why he has been off the screen for a while now.

The 56-year-old revealed that he has been depressed for a very long time over his marital issues and had to hide because he was ashamed of what he didn’t do.

Emeka Ike disclosed this during a recent interview with Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday.

Wakadaily reported that the actor’s marriage hit the rock on July 13, 2015 over alleged incessant battery, and was dissolved by a Lagos Island Customary Court.

When asked why he has not been on movie projects like he used to and he revealed that the transition from VCD to bigger screens affected the demand for his talent as he and his other colleagues that we don’t see or hear of anymore, were not carried along.

The actor added that during the time he was away, assassins and gun men were after his life. They just wanted to take his life, for no reason.

Asked how he was able to move past all he went through and bounce back on his feet. Emeka Ike said, “When you realize that they’re actually after you for who you are, you ask yourself, ‘what do I do next?’. I just kept doing the things I needed to do properly. I kept working on myself to be who I am now”.
