For quite a while now, Nollywood actor Emeka Enyiocha has been away from Nollywood.

Explaining the reason for his absence, he said that he had to focus on his business.

The dark-skinned actor, who owns a beer parlour in the Surulere area of Lagos, said;

“I don’t want to work for other people to eat.”

Speaking on why he left the movie world, he said:

“I left the industry because I got married and started having kids. I had more responsibilities to deal with. I needed to be closer to my family and kids so that they would not call me uncle when they see me. Marriage and family slowed me down. It definitely slows someone down except you do not want to take care of your family.”
