Nollywood actor, ChiChinedu-Ikediezenedu Ikedieze popularly known as Aki, has attributed his children-friendly acting prowess to the freedom his grandmother gave him while growing up with her in Abia State.

According to the actor, his childhood contributed to who he is today.

In his words “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.”
