How I ‘toasted’ my wife – Chinedu Ikedezie aka Aki



Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedezie, popularly known as Aki, has revealed how he met his wife.

In an interview with Sun newspaper, the actor claimed he approached his wife the first time he met her and asked her to marry him.

“I met her just the way every other man meets his wife. I made the first move ..I just told her baby, let’s do this and the rest is history.”


According to dailypost report, on growing up, he said “Let me tell you something about my birth. My mum put to bed at exactly 12 am on the dot the day I was born; as soon as it was 12 am, I popped out! One peculiar thing about my mum is that she goes to the labour room with her wristwatch and once she gives birth, she records the time.

And God has so blessed her, she delivered like the Hebrew women; she never had complications. I came into the world at exactly 12 am on the dot on the 12 day of the 12 month of the year so that means there is something unique about me (laughter). Growing up, my parents wondered how I would end up because they couldn’t even dictate to me. You know, parents have a way of knowing what their kids would be in the future. They would be like this one is going to be a medical doctor and that one is going to be an engineer. In my case, they couldn’t tell where I was headed because I seemed to have a knack for everything; that’s the making behind my life and who I am today.” He further talked about how he met and became very close with fellow actor, Osita Iheme.


“I started acting in 1998. He came into the industry three years later in 2001. I was in school then and we had a job so he had this opportunity to shoot in Enugu. He had just started acting then. We met in the hotel lobby where we were lodged. We talked and I discovered he was a very shy fellow. Before then, Amayo Uzor had been telling me that ‘Chinedu, just hang on, there is boy I have seen that looks just like you and guess what, he is in the industry and I am working on a script for the both of you.’ After our meeting, they called us and gave us scripts; that was the first time I did pure comedy. The movie was entitled Aki Na Ukwa”.
