Jim Iyke has disclosed whom he feels is the only man comfortable enough on earth to see someone succeed and be bigger. The popular Nollywood actor singled out one’s father, not even the best friend or brother.
The movie star was on the popular comedian Olateju Oyelakin, aka Teju Babyface’s show, where he made this known. Jim Iyke touched on a number of topics, but here’s what he said in part:
“You’re not built for this. There’s nothing that motivates you more than the only person you look up to in this life. And I’ll tell you this as an example in life.
“Maybe you want to take this seriously. You don’t want to. The only man on earth that wants to see you succeed more than him in this life is not your best friend. It’s not your brother. It’s not your relatives. It is your father.
“The only man that’s comfortable in this life to see you bigger than him, that prays it as a prayer. I’ve known best friends that introduced me to business. As a matter of fact, that’s what I’m going through currently in real estate.
