Chinedu Ikedieze tricks wife
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Chinedu Ikedieze and his wife, Stephanie Promise, caused a stir after playing the trending Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
On social media, the Rock, Paper, Scissors game has been making the rounds. It involves two people playing to make sure they get the most of the food spread before them.
While one person wins, the losing party runs back and forth, as the winner rushes to eat all they can while they are away. In Aki’s case, the actor won his wife during the very first part of the game after he dropped ‘rock’ and his wife dropped ‘scissors’.
