“I am not a Wife Beater”- Emeka Ike Gives Insight Into His Crashed Marriage
Veteran actor, Emeka Ike, has given more insight into his crashed 14-year old marraige that made headlines on social media.
According to the father of four, he did not sign any document to confirm that he is indeed done with the marriage. He claimed the court dissolved his marriage illegally.
50-year-old Emeka also said some incriminating things about his ex wife, Emma, painting her a bad role model to their children, especially their daughter, Punch gathers.
“The court dissolved my marriage illegally; I want people to get it right. For you to dissolve a marriage, the man and his lawyer must be present in court to sign some documents.
Ask them, was either my lawyer or myself present in court on that day? Is it possible to say the marriage has been dissolved?

My wife says that I am a wife beater but the same woman two years ago in church during counselling, wrote it down that I am a caring man who is selfless and loves his family. She wrote that I love her and my lawyer still has the written note.
She made this statement at The Redeemed Assemblies of God church in Magodo, Lagos. Can I possess all these and still beat my wife? Six months later, she began to sing another tune and I know she was advised by some people that it was the only way to leave the marriage.
The reason why I have not signed the papers is because of the blackmail involved and my name that has been tarnished.

She is spoiling my name; I would fight to clear myself of being called a wife beater with everything I have. I hate being referred to as a wife beater because I am not one.
Any man that does that does not deserve to be called a father or a man because you are stronger than the woman,” he said.
Emeka, who has custody of his children (read here) claimed the kids do not want to see their mother, as they are scared of her.
”My children do not want to see their mother. When my daughter heard she would be taken to Lagos to be with her mother, she was crying profusely because she did not want to go to meet her. The children are scared of her.

People have been asking me how my children have been coping with this whole drama but the truth is that they don’t want to see her.
If you threaten our daughter that she would go to Lagos to meet her mother, she would cry and do everything you want her to do in the house just because she doesn’t want to see her.
Now my children are suffering emotionally, I even had to pay their matron double the money she asked for to make my children comfortable so they don’t really miss their mother.
I am not happy that my daughter does not have a role model.
The children are really irritated by their mother. I have a lot of evidence of child abuse against her but I am waiting for the right time to arrest her.

Even in court, her son testified against her. She has tried to use the press against me by saying that I am a wife beater but I have never touched her in my life.
This is a real story and not a joke.
Her best TV station is the criminal investigation channel; she stays up till 4am to watch the channel for over five years.
At first, I used to enjoy watching it with her. She watched the programmes about women who killed their husbands, children, relatives.

I had to ask her if she wanted to kill somebody with the way she watched the station but she just switched off the television, went to her room and slept.
This is the story of my life. This is a woman whom I brought out of a one room apartment she was living with her mother, the other room was covered with zinc but I built a two-bedroom apartment for them.
I went to her village and built a three-bedroom apartment for her. I trained her from secondary school to Master’s degree level. Is this how she is supposed to pay me back?
No one is looking at all this but they would go online to say that I am bitter. Some men suffer like me but they died for nothing.
That is why I dedicated my award to all the men that lost their lives to the women they loved,” he said.

On the photo of him and a mystery lady that hit social media days ago, Emeka said:
”People saw a picture of me and a lady together and they have already begun to conclude different things. Love is not a public thing but a private matter, however, the lady I was pictured with is truly a South African and also of a German descent but she is my friend and we took pictures.
People should leave it like that. When I want to get married again, everyone would know and that is if there will be anything like that. But at the moment, the lady is just my friend,” he said.

Abegi,Emeka Ike should go and sit down somewhere jare,CNT believe I once loved this man as my No(1) male celebrity sha.why bringing out all the things uve done to ur wife nd her family,for crying out loud u guys were together for 14years and u dnt think she also put up with a lot of things even though she is not perfect.why would a reasonable and decent man will ask his son to go to court and testify against his own mother(No matter what,that is very bad)This Emeka is just useless and has nothing to justify himself for that single thing he did of bringing his kids into it.He should go and rot in hell and move on with his life but plis should not poison the minds of all this innocents kids against their mother no matter who she is or what she might have done.U think carrying pregnancy for 36 months(4times) is easy???Am seriously angry with this useless big headed good for nothing Igbo guy,I dnt know why the social welfare CNT take the kids from him self.oga oooooo
