38-year-old Nollywood bad boy, Jim Ikye has revealed some private things about himself that you will find interesting!

Real names James Ikechukwu Esomugha has made
known how much of a fashion fetish he his. In this
interestingly new interview with Punch he talked
about his love for sunglasses, sneakers and of
course, his Best Friend Forever , Nadia Buari. Read
excerpts below:
"I have about 125 pairs of sunglasses. I think I own
about 200 pairs of shoes and sneakers and it is not
something to brag about. I like shoes and I collect
them. I get shoes that are much branded and are
limited edition. For, me it is not just about making a
fashion statement anymore, it is art,"
On what he wears, Jim said:
I am not brand crazy. The designer labels cost a lot
of money but there is a healthy competition; which
is why I find the fashion market very interesting.
have been to factories that make goods for Gucci.
These are people working on a smaller scale and
these are the ones I hire to make my clothes and
they give me what I want. However, I always buy
what I know I would look good in.
On why he rarely acts Nollywood Movies,
"When you arrive at the pinnacle of a career pursuit
where else do you go? I surmounted that apex long
in my prime. I was the guy that made 38 films in a
year! I had created the work-machine image and
inevitably also made myself socially redundant. I
couldn't glean at the moment of my decision till late
what else that world had for me. It was a vicious
circle of constant, monotonous engagement.
"Nothing was challenging anymore. It (Nollywood)
was too easy, too perpetual, having travelled same
circles and faced same obstacles. I also earned same
bracket, produced and invested in the same
suffocating projects. The secret of the constantly
progressive individual is the ability to discern when
to shift focus and reinvent even if it's temporarily. I
took all I had, the vast contacts I had gathered, and
moved into the world of business and facilitation,"
On Nadia,He says
She (Nadia) is a solid, down-to-earth woman. I'm a
man that translates variables in ways many people
find incomprehensible. We have embraced who we
are and learnt to create our own world and
expectations. We have ups and downs like every
other couple.
"We have our strength and weakness as well. At the
end of the day, rumors of break ups and make-ups
ought to abound. It really doesn't matter. A
relationship is a continuous work. Those that give up
were perhaps not committed enough. Those that go
in for the long haul suck up and square up to the
variables life throws at them. The people that judge
harshly are obviously the ones that live far from
their desired lives. We just live the best way we
know how and leave the rest to the author and
finisher of all things."
It would be recalled that just recently the popular
actor made a switch into politics.
