Popular Nollywood
actor, Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki, who got married to Nneoma sometime in 2011, is presently being put under pressure by his family because of their inability to produce kids after over three years of marriage. Rumour has it that Aki’s wife now finds solace in the church, where she prays, morning, afternoon and night asking God for the fruit of the womb. Sources claim Chinedu Ikedieze’s wife, Nneoma was summoned by her husband’s family to know what exactly the problem is.
Nneoma allegedly told the family members point blank that herself and her husband, Chinedu Ikedieze are not ready for making babies because they are focusing more on building their career and future. Chinedu Ikedieze ‘Aki’, who shot to limelight after his role in ‘Aki Na Ukwa,’ seems not to be perturbed about the pressure. However, the family members have set a deadline for Nneoma to conceive or she incurs their wrath.
It would be recalled that Aki and Nneoma had their traditional marriage on Saturday, 26th November, 2011 at Obolo, Mbano in Imo State and white wedding on Friday December 9th, 2011. For Aki’s immense contribution to the growth of the movie industry, in 2010, the Federal Government recognised him and conferred on him national awards of Member of the Federal Republic (MFR), Nneoma, as well as doing fine in her chosen profession as she graduated from the Needlecraft Couture Fashion School in July 2012 and presently runs her own fashion line called Nikiz.
