Reactions Trail Emeka Ike, Timaya’s Travails
Reactions have con
tinued to trail Emeka Ike and Timaya who are accused of wife battering and rape respective. In a recent post in the internet captioned “Will Emeka Ike and Timaya die?” from the current battering to their public images.
It was said that answering this question is as good as asking if it is a tough job breaking into the Federal Reserve Bank in New York with its three layered security infrared camera with motion detectors and some of the finest snipers around the earth, to say the least.
The report further stated that when you are in the limelight, there are certain standards the world expects and must always see you cannot frolic to extreme levels, not when you are a key player in your industry and a brand. This is as true as it gets.
Following recent reports, Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike was accused of physically assaulting his now estranged wife, while Timaya is facing rape accusations from a single mother in far away United States of America (USA).
“Honestly, if these were saner climes and it was judicially established that these two battered and raped those women following due process, prison term will be the least of their worries,” stated the report.
It recalled how African China fizzled out shortly after a rape allegation was levelled against him in London UK. It is hard to determine if this ‘brand’s life cycle was over before the scandal, or if the rape accusations speed up its demise.
However, what we know is he left the stage and left mainstream music altogether almost faster than he got into it following that incident.
These days, when his name brought up, it does not take much time for the conversation to veer into gossip on the rape scandal.
That ugly period in his life now clings former to his public image as firmly as his talent as a singer and song writer, as very tragic experience.
It was also recalled that in the prime of Mike Tyson’s career when he was found guilty of raping an 18-year-old, he was sentenced to six years in prison.
He got parole after serving three whole years. The laws are crystal clear there, that way, you know that rape and every form of assault is not childs play.
