gigolo..In an interview with Encomium Nollywood actor Ik ogbonna
opened up.
The allegation about your trip to the States is that you went to do
gigolo 'runs', what is your take on it?
People don't really know my story. I have heard different things about
me. I have heard that I am a gigolo, gay that I have foolish
attitude, that I am a snub.
Some people don't know I had a very rough beginning, even though my
parents were on the average. I moved to Lagos alone and I had a very
rough time. I slept on the street sometimes.
Seven years ago when I moved down to Lagos, for like three years or
so, I slept in cars. I had this friend of mine that I used to sleep
in his car and burn insecticide at night. I always carry myself well
because I know where I am destined to be. I kept on pushing.
Sometimes I slept over at the club when there is no friend's house to
pass the night. I was homeless. I had things very rough at a
particular point in time.
It is God's grace that is working for me. When people say I am a
gigolo, I am waiting for the person that will come and tell me I slept
with his mother. If one person can just come and tell me, IK see this
woman you are sleeping with, she is my mother and I will admit I am a
gigolo.
They also alleged you are gay?
Like I told you, I never thought I was going to be an actor. I was
more into business. I am involved in a lot of things. Acting is just
something that just came and I loved it.
A greater percentage of my money is from business. I am an Igbo man (laughs).
I want to get into Forbes and it is not by acting alone. I have to
work very hard and be creative with my ideas. Money I get from movies
will go to charity.
For the gay thing, I don't blame people, but the truth is I love
women. I won't judge those calling me gay or tell them what to do.
Gay is a very deadly thing and I am someone that respects God a lot.
I try to keep His commandments.I know I am very adventurous and I have
a very high fashion sense. You can see me wearing a three-quarter
pants, colourful things and thank God for making me a fine boy.
When people say I am a gigolo or gay it's their own judgement. There
is no man or woman that can ever come out and say IK has slept with me
or a mother that is above age that will say I am sleeping with her and
she pays me. When you're successful people will always talk. They
should keep talking and promoting my brand.
