Ever since they made their Nollywood debut in 2007 in Broken Ambition, the identical twins, Chidimma and Chidiebere Aneke aka Aneke Twins, have continued to grow from strength to strength. Like all twins, the Anekes are inseparable. Whenever you see one, you also see the other. But now, it seems marriage will eventu­ally separate them, as they disagree on their choice of man.

In this chat with an entertain­er during the 12th edition of Abuja International Film festival (AIFF), held recently at the Federal Capital Terri­tory, the twins who premiered their latest movie, "Back To The Basics" at the event, opened up on career, polygamy, and les­sons their late dad taught them.

Questions & Answers

You girls have come a long way, has it always been your dream to be actresses?

Chidiebere: Actually yes. We started acting in church when we were kids.

Do you still miss your late dad?

Chidiebere: Yes, but we don’t want to talk about it. It’s still very painful for us. We don’t want to start crying all over again.

What kind of dad was he?

Chidimma: My father was okay and we had everything we wanted. Dad pampered us. However, if you did something wrong, he flogged you and then pampered you, telling you where you went wrong.

Chidiebere: Dad was cool. We had fun growing up. He dressed us in same clothes and shoes; we always wore the same uniform (laughter).

What was the greatest advice he gave you?

Chidiebere: We should be prayerful and work hard. We shouldn’t believe in human beings because they will definitely fail.

Chidimma: Dad taught us how to farm. He told us to always remember that you can’t stop working until your job is done. He was a philanthropist and loved helping people a lot; he did things for widows and the physically challenged.

What was it like growing up in a po­lygamous home?

Chidimma: It was fun. We all ate from one plate; there were no barriers.

Since you have this blissful recollec­tion of growing up in a polygamous home, could you be second wife?

Chidiebere: The difference between then and now is that our father and mothers understood each other and knew what they wanted. But I can’t share my husband with another woman.

Chidinma: How they measured wealth those days was in how many children and wives one had. I don’t have a problem with polygamy but will my fellow wives be able to live the way my father and his wives lived? I believe it is still possible to live that way even now.

They are truly talentless. Any movie they act in is always boring. They can't act to save their lives!

Babe2sure:



They are truly talentless. Any movie thay act in is always boring. They can't act to save their lives!

At least what they can't do is,"act to save their lives"...
But for you,you can't even write to gain popularity as broad as theirs.

Yeah

It's because your brain is not functioning properly, that's why you don't know its a typographical error. Your unsolicited correction has not gained you popularity "as broad as theirs" either. Dumbass!

seriously I don't know how they got this far and why the so much hype about them

It's the grace of God.

I like them as twins. But I don't bother to watch their movies.
One thing that plays out in the industry is, they watch their back. If you are close to producers, they will give you roles,regardless of whether you are talentless or not. If your friend is a producer, and he produces movies without featuring you, it will strain the relationship, so they try to avoid that.
And some other factors I wouldn't want to mention.

how you know about this?

STFUareyouGod:

Lol... I know someone in the industry.
And there was a time I wanted to sell a story to be acted. But I was just too lazy to write the story, till now. I'm just a lazy writer.
At the same time, I don't want to tell my friend the story, so that he doesn't steal it.
I may still write it. Maybe.... Maybe not....

Asshole

the husband shortage has not reached that level.



there are enough men to go around although some of them might not be rich yet.

Pineapp:

Asshole

Lame-ass

on the other hand, any southern woman who keeps highlighting this preference of theirs, should be married off to northerners as multiple wives.

They are now brighter than their future

I never wrote a story. I've not written the story I had in mind.
I'm more of an essayist. I used to write essays for people in my school days. I was well known for that. But people disturbs me, before I will actually sit to write for them. I don't willingly write.(That was why I said, "I'm a lazy writer"
