Jim Iyke, the Nigerian actor, has revealed that he finds it difficult to make friends.
In a chat with Teju Babyface, Iyke said he prefers friendships that don’t require frequent communication.
The actor stated that he may not always be present in everyday events but will be there for friends in critical moments.
Iyke added that he believes in choosing friends who understand and accept these terms.
“We do not hang around emotions. We do not have time for it. That is why I cannot be friends with everybody,” he said.
“I need somebody that will not be hung up on my last act. I am too transitional for it.
“My propensity for growth is at an alacrity that you cannot keep up with.
“Who I was yesterday is different from who I am today. So it is not everybody that can keep up with that. I need somebody that I will not call for 10 weeks and he is not in his feelings.
“You find me wanting at your anniversary. When you have certain issues I might not be the one to reach.
“But I tell you, when you call me and I sense that it is not even a function of what you tell me, I sense that you need me.
“I am going to move every mountain. So you decide the kind of friends you want.”
Iyke began acting in 2001. He rose to prominence as one of the most sought-after actors in Nollywood.
In 2007, the actor established his own movie company called Untamed Productions.
He has received several awards and recognitions for his talent.
