In 2008, Nollywood actor established a N200 million school,
St Nicholas College, 1, Raji Oladimeji Crescent, Magodo, Lagos.
He established the school with the aim of giving the Nigerian child the best education.
In his words then "Basically, I feel Nigerian youth
deserve better and we are seeing how we can correct one or two anomalies in the
academic sector. We have schools without laboratories, no quality class rooms,
no good facilities, so we are trying our best to get Nigerian youth together.
It took me a while to complete the school...It was a huge investment. I believe
in building the Nigerian youth. It's not all about money, we are here to impact."
Well, it appears the man who claimed not to "love
money" is now obsessed with it!
Emeka Ike is fond of using his teachers like animals.
"He makes them go extra mile but doesn't pay them. He
owes them for months, he hasn't paid them for six months now yet money is
coming in...The school buildings are about collapsing, the roofs are leaking
and he doesn't seem to care...He doesn't care about renovating the school, all
he cares about is the money"
Also confirming the story, another source who presently
works in the school disclosed that many of the good teachers had quit, while
the new teachers in school are half-baked and non.professionals
"...Some don't even have NCE yet they are teachers...No
one goes into a project without benefiting from it but my oga's intent in the
education sector is just to collect money...The man is such a broke-ass. He has
no business in the educational sector so he should just leave instead of
destroying the lives of these young ones. The school slogan is the belief in
your dream and he doesn't even show any belief in the kids dream."
Further revelations to KFB showed that Emeka Ike doesn't
have a proper board of directors, the names only exist on paper. "The
school management team comprises of him and his wife alone....who does that
" one of my sources stated, adding that
"the annoying thing is, when teachers complain of
salaries, his usual excuse is, the federal government also owes his workers,
even AIT's Dokpesi also owes his staff and they don't complain, so get used to
it."
The longest serving teachers in the school are Mrs Ejim and
Mr Odusolu....but the former left a while ago after being owed six months’salary. He even recently sacked
his school principal because "he wasn't ready to condole the wrong acts in
the school and its mismanagement..."
Feeding/Electricity/Poor Management:
Despite the high school fees the students pay, he fails to
give them a balanced diet, sometimes their meal is a repetition of breakfast and dinner. Most times they eat
without meat and fish .
"They sometimes eat rice in the morning and still take
it for dinner. Anyways, the smart ones have changed to the other schools. They
complained to their parents. The few ones left here are the ones I pity"
the source further revealed. As a result of the mismanagement all the students
in the school left leaving him with only 13 students for the third term
session."
What he spends his money on:
All he spends his money on is "IGBO cocaine and
women" Oh really?!
"Yes, his tout gateman, Ahmed, who doubles as his
driver and multipurpose P.A, is the one in charge of that. All he does is use
the school bus which he (Emeka Ike) just bought to run errands for his boss i.e
get the cocaine and the prostitutes. We all know he takes that stuff, we
do...and after he sniffs it, he starts misbehaving....no wonder he has fought
with all his Nollywood colleagues to the extent that they don't feature him in
their movies anymore"
His Wife:
"His wife, Emma, born to a German dad and a Nigerian
mother, is no better. She is the proprietress. They both squander the money
coming in. He beats her, damn, he beats her like crazy but when he spoils her,
he spoils her with money...they have four kids, Michael, 11, Kelly, 8, Jason 5
and Andrea, 2. I really hope the situation is rectified otherwise the school
should be closed down..."
Oh well...Emeka Ike!
