A major minus of the award ceremony was the erratic behaviour of the show’s co-presenter, Jim Iyke, whose cringe-worthy performance included homophobic and sexist remarks. At one point, he told co-host, actress Nse Ikpe-Etim to “shut up.” When in onstage banter he asked her to come to his room later and she asked what for, he replied, “You’re a Calabar girl, you should know, now!” Forgetting he was in front of an international gathering of the liberal arts for a show telecast live on Africa Independent Television (AIT), Iyke had earlier gone off on a tangent about gays and their “weird” ways. “There is something wrong. It’s just wrong.” It was left to Ikpe-Etim to say, “Okay, that’s enough. I must apologise for my colleague. There is nothing wrong with being happy.” But she could only smile powerlessly as the actor’s behaviour degenerated further onstage, reading his notes with dark shades on; and ranting about anything from an ill-timed defence of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s weight to women “popping pills” to stay slim.
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." Luke 18:27

I don't believe in this story. It is fake! Jim Iyke being rough in his films does not mean he is crazy. He plays his path as instructed. He reasons and cannot behave in that manner you are trying to fit him in!

I have always seen that guy as somebody with good character. But am not surprised bcos sometimes our "naija garri dey too pass water" people easily gets carried away. If he did objectify his co-host on stage, there is simply no excuse for that, and also if he made a homophobic or sexist comments on stage, then there was something wrong with him that day- probably too drunk or overdosed on some substance. Too bad he got me decieved.
