“I wanted to kill my self when I was younger because of the bullying”-Chinedu (Aki)Ikedieze

[@robbieyt3705]

From being bullied to being suicidal to meeting a someone with a similar condition to them making our childhood fun and present day memes everywhere is nothing short of inspirational. You’ve proved your bullies wrong and made your family proud sir 🙏🏻

[@Kinzeal]

They're soulmates. Same size, intelligence, talent and aspiration. God doesn't make mistake. This is their destiny. They truly conquered the world where tall people find difficult to survive. What people mocked them for turned into their source of blessing.

[@levelupwithada]

Chinedu and Osita made my childhood so much fun. I hope they're here with us for a very long time ❤

[@anthonyambrose5002]

So where are they?

[@gabelynnyenp]

This Chude style of interview needs to be studied in school. He's one of he best in his field. He brings out the emotion of his interviewee by being so interested in what they are saying, asking relevant questions. He's a good listener. he reminds me of Oprah Winfrey. Well done Sir.

[@obeeig44]

Chude has re-defined interviews. It's more like a soul to soul chat; very relatable, emotional and endearing. Chinedu is a legend. God bless him!

[@ifeomaojeifo2950]

He’s a very empathetic person

[@itsjemmabond]

The worst is the woman who interviewed Tiwa Savage and Tonto Dikeh years ago.

[@TinomShokfaibambina]

I second this. Tejubabyface is another interviewer that needs to be studied. Kudos, Sir, Chude! 👏

Look at how his still fresh at 40, all those that made fun of you are old and frail, Glory be to God

His love for Osita is so evident 😊. Thank God for your Mum too.

I’m glad the books his mom advised really paid off eventually. He’s a big man now and well respected. Can any of those people still call him those names now??

You can tell Oshita and him are very close from how excited he was when he started talking about their friendship

[@Zoegreen111]

When he was talking about how he was being Bullied when growing up almost brought tears into my eyes 😢 This is the reason i don't mistreat people with small nature... i respect them a lot because they deserve nothing but love and care. ❤❤❤

The day i flew on the same plane with him from Lagos to Benin was very emotional for me. As a mother, i just couldn't imagined what he must have overcome to be where he is today plus the retinue of fans that wanted to take pictures with him. I thank God for your mom and also for you for taking her advice. You really are a LEGEND!😮

[@officielEP]

Imagine Nollywood without this Man, I know I can't. Thank you for staying strong and fighting for your place. Absolute legend ❤

[@Wil_Sim]

Mr Chinedu is a well respected man. I'm glad he was able to conquer his fears. The way he spoke about his friend @Mr Osita is so amiable, may God continue to keep them with us for a long long time

[@adetunjiadedeji8872]

He still found a way to make a joke around the issue, Legend

[@Ummh25]

As a child loved watching Aki and Pawpaw, it took me quite some years as a child to realise they were not my age mate but adults 😅😅

[@berryminion277]

God hasn't finished your story ....keep pushing....he's not done

[@rahmatullaahalqaasim5650]

I've smiled throughout the interview. I understand what he had gone through as I also have the same condition although with few differences. So much bully from society but I tried to focus on my studies as well and now I'm a Nurse with a bachelor's Degree. Trust yourself and ignore the society.

[@FranckKouakou-ie4hg]

[@vanessamutoni4869]

His such a national treasure our entire childhood 🩷

[@chidinduprecious4962]

I just love the mannerism at which he buttressed his feelings, at which he expressed his nostalgic intentions. He introspected and retrospected, just to find out that the whole thing was vanity to claim his life. How about how he spoke of his friend. You know, sometimes I imagine how that these two came to be; of same height, of same passion, of same tribe, nd still doing what they know how to do best in the movie industry. May God continue to see you guys through and shower his blessings more and more. You still are fresh and have more impact to make...
