Popular Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke is no longer the new kid on the block, but an established star. The most interesting thing about him now is not his acting life but his new found love for the less privileged. The zeal he attaches to his new love displays his intriguing modesty.

This love for the less privileged took Iyke to Liberia recently where he organized a charity Concert at the Autoinette Tubman Stadium, Moronvia. The concert sponsored by Lonestar Cell, a telecommunications giant in Liberia was tagged 4 kings of Love. Jim Iyke Foundation collaborated with Hush Entertainment (a Liberian company) to put smiles on the faces of Liberians with a three day concert. It was a successful show which gave his foundation the mileage it required to excel.

Ace comedian Mr. Ibu, I go Dye, Tu Face and Jim Iyke were all on board to preach the message of love. The exuberance and sensitivity of Liberians were highly infectious as the Nigerian stars were given a tumultuous welcome by a mammoth crowd that came out to watch the show. During the concert, Ibu’s mischievous high spirit was on display.

Jim Iyke’s romantic charm was blended in a fresh, natural style and I go Dye’s jokes were full of witty details. The entry of Tu Face on stage saw Liberians in a dancing spree. Tu Face sang with effortless flair. Reflecting on the show, I go Dye; saw it as a huge success. "We had a mammoth crowd at the stadium. It was really successful. Again, success is not only about money. It is all about happiness and how you can create happiness for yourself and how you can make people appreciate what you are doing. To me, it was a success.”

Mr. Ibu on his part said: "If you talk about financial success for the organizers, yes it was successful. And for the nation we came to visit, it was a huge success too. It was like a dream come true for me to be in Liberia. It was a good trip.” Ibu hinted further that it was his long standing relationship with Jim Iyke that got him involved in the project. "I serve the public and I should be ready to serve the public anytime I am consulted. Jim Iyke is my colleague and my younger brother. He approached me in a language I was supposed to understand.

So, I obliged him." Tu Face also agreed that it was a huge success. "The whole movement from the first night to the third night was wonderful. It is a big challenge to people out there who want to do something for humanity. I commend Jim Iyke for making this happen. I never expected that people would turn out that way given the fact that this is a country that has been ravaged by war.”

The idea behind the show came about when Jim Iyke visited the country last year. According to him, what he saw in the country moved him to render some sorts of service. “I went there with some members of staff of my foundation.

We saw about four orphanages that needed our assistance. So, we decided to move over there and organize a concert and 30 percent of what we make out of the concert will go into the renovation, funding and running of the four orphanages within Monrovia. And we have made good our promise.”
