Actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has done
well for himself in the Nigerian movie scene.
Not only has he become a
household name in Africa, he is also a national award recipient. Even with his
success, the actor is still not fulfilled because he believes that by this time
in his life, he should have bagged a Ph.D degree.
He said, “Aside obtaining my
first degree in mass communication at The Institute of Management and
Technology (IMT), Enugu, I had the opportunity to go to New York Film Academy
in 2004.

I did film
acting, it is like a certificate programme and I have learnt over the years on
the job too. By now, the way I had it in mind when I finished school, I should
have had my second Master’s degree if not Ph.D.
Each time I think along that
line, other things come to mind and I am not happy about that. When you see me
again, I might just be finishing a particular course.” The actor also
attributed his success to his caring grandmother who allowed him to play freely
as a kid. Aki said, “My background contributed a lot to who I am today and it
is still contributing. I grew up with my grandmother in Abia State and I learnt
a lot from her.
She probably just gave me a free hand to operate as a little
boy and that gave me the opportunity to know how to set traps, play pranks on
people and to know other little things that children usually do. The experience
really influenced what I do today because most of the films I do are children-
friendly.
You will always see me playing one mischievous role or the other; I
learnt these things while I was a little boy. Also, every child has a story;
you know I was a street boy, so to speak. All those little things I gathered on
the streets.
Aki is the character that everybody knows me for, though Chinedu
Ikedieze is not a mischievous person.”
