ANEKE TWINS: WE ARGUE, WE FIGHT AND WE MAKE UP


THE THESPIANS AND FILMMAKERS, THE IDENTICAL TWINS CHIDIMMA AND CHIDIEBERE ANEKE ARE INSEPARABLE. THE DUO DRAW FORTUNE TO THEMSELVES FOR LOOKING AND SOUNDING THE SAME WAY. THEY SPOKE TO OUR CORRESPONDENT IN LAGOS LANRE ODUKOYA ABOUT LIFE AND CAREER.

HOW WE STARTED ACTING…
We started acting when we were just little girls at the church. We didn’t even know what we were doing nor it would bring us to this level.

OUR PARENTS’ REACTIONS …
Our parents respect our choices, though our mum was not in support of acting when we started; now she is cool with it.

CHALLENGES OF DOING NEARLY EVERYTHING TOGETHER…
We argue, quarrel, we fight and make up.

WHY WE REMAIN IN THE EAST
Being at the centre of God’s plan for your life is the best thing in life. Promotion cometh not from the East or South, but from God.

OUR FILMS AND HOW THEY’VE FARED COMMERCIALLY…
We have produced more than 15 films and marketed 7 Films and they all did well in the market. We just released one penultimate Friday. It’s titled, National Experience

OUR RECENT MOVIE PREMIERED IN LONDON…
The movie is called ‘Onochie, The Replacement’. It tells us that the gods are wise. When mortals plan, the gods sit and watch with their own perfect plans. So it is in the case of Obiajulu and Onochie....who will rule the kingdom? Is it Onochie the son of Igwe’s second wife or Obiajulu from the first wife? Here, we let the gods decide. The movie featured, Patience Ozokwo, African China, Aneke Chidimma n Chidiebere, Ikenga Ikechukwu, Ella Mensah from Ghana, Ebere Okaro and Emmanuel Emoabino among a host of other great actors. It was premiered in London at the Odeon Cinema Greenwich, on June 7, 2013 and by the grace of God, it was indeed a huge Success.

HOW WE PLAN TO CELEBRATE OUR BIRTHDAY THIS MONTH…
By the special grace of God, we are celebrating it with widows and the special people in Lagos here.

WHAT WE DO ASIDE MOVIES TO RAISE FUNDS…
Yes, we braid hair; we also do fixing of weave-on. We learnt that from our mum.

OUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND…
I read mass communication and Chidiebere studied Business administration and we both graduated from Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu. Chidiebere did her National Youth Service in Osun State and won an Award as Best Corper. I did my National Youth Service in Oyo State.

OUR GREATEST DECISION AS TWINS…
We’ve thought about and we realised it’s nothing but ‘To Be a Blessing’ to others.

LOVING THE SAME MAN…
No, we have not had that experience yet.

EXPERIENCE OF LOVERS MISTAKING OUR IDENTITY
Yes, it happened and it was very funny but it was also corrected by us.

HOW TO SUSTAIN OUR BOND AFTER MARRIAGE
When we get to that bridge we will cross it – (Chidimma giggles).
