Nollywood star actor, Jim Iyke, has been noticed recently to be shunning out more on charity than frivolous things. His reason to have suddenly become a philanthropist overnight is yet to be ascertained. Meanwhile, a close source informed us that, the 'bad boy' in Nollywood recently visited an orphanage home in Gishiri, a suburb of Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria. Sources said that's where he was born and grew up.

The actor has shown a serious interest in charitable activities over the years. He visited Kenya last December in support of the Make a Change Campaign – a charity project founded by Christopher Grey, and Jamaican dancehall queen, Cécile.
