Popular Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has shed light on the factors that led to her failed marriage with her ex-husband, Philip Ehiagwina.
The 40-year-old movie star opened up on her marriage in a recent interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV’s Rubbing Minds show.
The thespian who got married to Phillip in 2008 but got divorced six years later, said their marriage crashed because of distance.
According to her, the union might have worked if they were staying together because it would avail them the opportunity to communicate and understand each other better.
The mum of one added that family interference also played a role in their failed marriage as some of her husband’s family members were against some roles she played in movies.
Her words,
“No matter the indifference or incompatibility, if you’re together in love, a lot of things can actually work out.
However, you don’t get to work things out when there is no contact. When you are with someone, and you can’t agree on certain things or find a common ground, I think being together could have actually helped us to understand each other better.
Most of the time, we attract the wrong people, sometimes for the wrong reasons. Because when people come to you because of what they see on TV, it’s hard for them to accept you considering the fact that you are just acting because that is your job.
When they find out that it’s not the real you, it becomes a problem.Marriage is an experience which I don’t regret. My ex-husband met me as an actress. My job takes my time because naturally there are certain roles you are not allowed to play once you are married.
Even if your husband understands, his relatives might not understand. My ex-husband is the last child, so family interference in the marriage was normal.
“Marriage has taught me a lot of lessons, it made me wiser and stronger. I think it actually made me more mature. I don’t think I married too early, maybe I was a little bit in a hurry.”
A Nigerian man on the popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter, has opined that only a woman who was married as a virgin has the right to demand that her husband remain faithful to her.
According to the man identified as John Doe, women who entered marriage with multiple body counts and even slept with married men should not demand loyalty from their spouse.
He claimed that these women marry in the expectation of finding a safe haven.
“Only a woman that met & married her husband as a Virgin, has right to demand that he remains faithful to her. Some of you entered your marriage with multiple body counts to the extent that you slept with married men. You thought your marriage was a safe “haven” for you?” He tweeted.
John Doe’s tweet sparked outrage, especially from women, and stirred varying reactions from netizens on the micro-blogging platform.
A Twitter user @Joan_Ify7 wrote,
“What of males with multiple body counts that has slept with married women too, e.g, those male youth corpers that sleep with married female corpers?
There should be a balance”.
@FrancisUdeoji,
“The problem is that woman compair themselves to men And that’s why they keep feeling the heat of their own consequences Eg. When Adam and eve committed there given a different punishment”.
@NedZeon,
“Women own and control the availability of sex, women have the monopoly on sex and there’s no man that will turn down a discount offer unless he has a better offer somewhere else. A man can only bargain, women set the price, so it’s on them not men.”
Controversial Big Brother Naija ‘shine ya eye’ star, Tega, has revealed why she claimed to be married in the house despite being separated before her participation in the reality show.
The mother of one who claimed she was married on the show faced heavy backlash from Nigerians on social media for being involved with fellow reality TV star, Boma. Many tagged her conduct on the show as a disrespect to the institution of marriage.
However, on Thursday night’s episode of the reunion show, Tega, who had earlier revealed she and her husband Ajebo had been separated since 2020, explained why she claimed she was married on the show.
According to her, claiming to be married was her strategy for the game.
Tega stated this while defending her on-screen romance with Boma.
She insisted that she had been divorced from her husband since 2020, but decided to use marriage as a strategy on the show.
“For a fact, I didn’t go into the show as married. I went in as separated. In all my interviews, I clearly stated it. I went in as separated. During our conversations and introductions, I just said well I’m married and I have a kid. That was supposed to be a strategy. Getting deep into the show, I then discovered that this was doing something great in a bad way to me.” She said.

A Nigerian man, Osarobo John Izekor, and his wife, Precious Izekor, who made a vulnerable Nigerian woman perform forced labour in their home in east Belfast, United Kingdom, will be sentenced for the slavery offence on June 27, 2022, a court has heard.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, the pair will be required to compensate their victim with £10,000 in damages.
The husband and wife, aged 36 and 29 years old, respectively, admitted that they required another person to perform “forced or compulsory labour” in their home at Ashmount Gardens in Lisburn, between September 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017.
The couple admitted keeping the Nigerian woman as a domestic slave in their then Castlereagh Place home in Belfast for a ten-month period.
Crown barrister Charles MacCreanor said the woman, who could not read or write, arrived in Northern Ireland in 2011 and worked as a nanny for a five-year period.
When her employer returned to Nigeria in Autumn 2016, she moved into Castlereagh Place and was told money would be sent back to her family for any work she undertook.
The woman had her own room and was provided with food and clothing for the ten months she spent in their house, but she was not paid any money.
The Izekors also had possession of her passport and other documents, which she didn’t have access to.
MacCreanor said that whilst living with the Izekors, the woman was in contact with a relative of John’s, who expressed a desire for her to return to Nigeria so they could get married.
This relative asked the woman about her documentation and visa status, and when she raised this issue with Precious, they got into a fight.
Despite her request for her documents, they were not handed over to the woman, and the argument led to a “deterioration of relations”.
When Precious Izekor was out, the woman attempted to locate her passport and her other documents. She left the Izekors a few days later and went to stay with a friend.
The woman’s friend was concerned for the woman, believing she was being exploited, and accompanied her to the Home Office, according to the court.
Precious was queried about the woman by a Home Office officer who came to the Izekors’ house, and she denied knowing her.
An investigation was launched, which resulted in the involvement of the PSNI and the subsequent arrests of both John and Precious Izekor.
During his police interview, John Izekor initially denied any wrong-doing and made the case they were letting the women stay in their home and were helping her.
In her interview, Precious told officers the woman was a family friend and was never asked to do any form of work or labour.
Mr MacCreanor said there were text messages between the husband and wife which indicated the control they had over the woman whilst she was living with them.
He also said that she spoke to police about her ordeal, the woman said she felt isolated and alone whilst living with the couple.
Defence barrister Barry Gibson, representing John Ikezor, said that following his arrest his client spent three months on remand.
He also spoke of Izekor’s university education, extensive work history and his clear criminal record.
Precious Izekor’s barrister Gavan Duffy QC revealed there was a former good relationship between the two women, and said there was a complete lack of violence or physical assault.
After listening to submissions from both the Crown and defence, Judge Richard Greene QC spoke of the complexities of the case and said he wanted to consider several issues before passing sentence.
After being told that the Izekors had previously lodged £10,000 to the court to act as a surety for bail, the judge ordered that this money be paid to the woman they kept as a domestic slave.
Judge Greene told the couple the charge they pleaded guilty to was “an extremely serious offence” and released them on continuing bail ahead of sentencing, which is set to take place on June 27, 2022.
The case, which was heard at Belfast Crown Court, is one of the first prosecutions under the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act (NI) 2015.

American dancer and model, Cheryl Burke, has admitted that she’s never had an orgasm during intercourse.
The Dancing with the Stars professional made this disclosure during an episode of her podcast, calling it her “biggest confession to date.”
According to her, she had not been completely honest during her interview with sex therapist Miss Jaiya last week.
“I’ve never really, I guess, had an orgasm before when it comes to intercourse. This doesn’t reflect on any partner I’ve been with. It only reflects on me.
“I think the reason I didn’t want to say it [at the time] was because I didn’t want to hurt anyone,” she added. But that has nothing to do with the person; it has everything to do with me and my shame and my child abuse and my vulnerability.” She said.
The disclosure was welcomed with a lot of love in the comments, with several ladies admitting that they, too, haven’t had an orgasm during intercourse.
A fan of the television host @cleanmachine09 wrote, “Same!! I love that you shared that. I think there are lots of women in the same boat but don’t really talk about it. Thank you for being so honest with us!”
@macrn6292, “You’re so brave and amazing. 👏👏 you are not alone. There’s an army of women behind you with the same experience!”
@amajorfanny, “I was in the same boat until I got married. You just have to open up and be vulnerable with your partner and hopefully you’ll both figure out what works.”
Cheryl Burke who filed for divorce from actor Matthew Lawrence in February, admitted that she hesitated to share her truth because she didn’t want to hurt any of her previous partners.

“It used to be them females twisting so hard show their faces and yet include their butts in the photos. I have tried it – I almost rearranged my organs so I gave up – besides my backside isn’t even that homongous so the struggle was too damn real.
Then came the tongues sticking out. Looking like a generation of serpentine spirits. Issokay.
Some of y’all need to focus on actually brushing your tongues cos that white is evidence of stench & an unclean mouth.
But heyyy- do you!!!
Now, it’s the boob grope.

The groom, who was captured in a viral video hitting his bride at their wedding reception, has been charged over the attack.
The man is said to have become enraged when his bride defeated him in a game during their wedding reception.
The bride won a competition to unwrap sweets that had been organized by guests at their wedding that was held in the southern region of Surkhandaryo in Uzbekistan on June 6.

Popular relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, has sparked a debate online after she noted that there’s nothing a man can give a woman apart from money.
In a recent social media post, the Break or Makeup founder, who is popular for giving her hot takes on relationships, averred that a man’s sole responsibility is to provide for his woman.
She claimed when a man is not giving his woman money, then he’s not interested in the relationship and is only wasting her time as men stay where they invest their money.
According to her, men are natural providers and are not created to do much for a woman except provide for her. She added that it’s a woman that is created to multi-task.
She urged women to allow their men to do their responsibilities, which is to provide.
In her words,
“If a man does not give you money what will he be doing with you, absolutely nothing. he’ll just be draining y. When a man isn’t giving you money he’s going to be wasting your time, because there nothing a man can give a woman apart from money. Men are providers, that is how God has built them, provision is a sense of responsibility for men. Men cannot do so much for a woman, its a woman that is built to multi-task. His job is to provide for you, it gives a man a sense of happiness and excitement to provide for his woman. Love comes with giving, if your man is stingy to you, it simply means he doesn’t love you. Allow a man do his responsibility, the responsibility of a man is to provide for you”.
Reality TV star and entrepreneur, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, didn’t spare a Twitter user who berated her for publicizing her charity work.
Tacha visited a rural community to sensitize the locals on the importance of getting their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) ahead of the 2023 general elections. The Big Brother Naija star, however, did not go empty handed as she handed them foodstuffs like rice and oil on the outreach.
The reality star, who believes that it’s important to sensitize the locals to get their PVC’s, shared a video showing some of the foodstuffs she parked which had “get your PVC” stickers on them and urged others who have the capability to do the same.
In her words, “I’m not doing this because I have too much.. I’m doing this because I understand how important it is to sensitive the LOCALS! If God has blessed you, use it to do GOOD! See you tomorrow DEGEMA! Nigeria will be great AGAIN!”
Though many social media users praised Tacha, it appeared the post didn’t sit well with a Twitter user who averred that an act of goodwill should not be publicized.
Quoting Tacha’s tweet, the lady insisted that acts of kindness should be done only with love, without cameras or telling anyone about it.
“Do it without stickers, do it with love, do it secretly without cameras, do it without making noise about it, and let the result or the outcome announce the good work. That’s what it means to bless!” She tweeted.
The comment caught Tacha’s attention and she reacted.
“May heavy loaded th*nder str*ke that your mouth shut!! Bloody ing*ate.”, she responded.

In an apparent reaction to this, Waje asked on Twitter, “How many of you would ask me out on a date but expect me to pay my bill?”
However, a Twitter user attacked her and questioned why any man in his right senses would ask her out on a date when she’s an ‘old woman’.
“Asking old woman out, haba”, the troll wrote.
This comment caught Waje’s attention and she dared the Twitter user to share a picture of his girlfriend or wife so people can compare the type of woman in his life with her.
“Make Una come see me and local trouble o. Old mama 😂😂😂😂 Eweeeeeeeeee! Umar Abeg post your babe or wife pic make we see. Nor download babe pic wey you nor know o. Ekpa” she wrote.
In response, the troll shared a picture of his daughter, instead of his partner lol..

If probably the dance group were out of female dancers to twist and whine for a performance, then these grown men were definitely up to the task as they filled in perfectly.
A video which was shared on the web shows a rather unusual group of dancers putting on an impressive display of dance moves to an audience that cheered them on as they performed.
What makes the group unusual is how an odd duo fit perfectly well into the group that had to whine their waist in the most flexible way possible — the duo, comprising of two gentlemen, joined a group of women dancers and while there might be no surprise in seeing the women whine their bodies, the men left netizens stunned with how they moved their bodies.
For many, the men are really better dancers than most ladies could ever be.

Nigerian filmmaker, Imoh Umoren, has reacted to the controversy that has trailed presidential aspirant Peter Obi’s visit to Egypt to study the country’s education, power, planning, and financial achievements.
Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential flag bearer in the 2023 election, had on Tuesday, via his official Twitter handle, announced the three-day trip to the North African nation.
“I just departed for Egypt on a 3-day visit as part of my detailed study of comparable countries to Nigeria. In Egypt, I am expected to understudy, among others, the Egyptian Power Sector, Education, Planning and Finance Sectors”. He tweeted.
While many of Peter Obi’s supporters praised him for the trip and said it was part of his purposeful effort to bring change to the Nigerian system in all quarters, others chastised him and said he shouldn’t have left the country at this time.
Fellow presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore also threw jabs at Peter Obi for travelling to Egypt to understudy their systems.
Sowore who is also vying for the presidential seat under the African Action Congress (AAC) tackled Peter Obi for only just taking the trip 9 months to the presidential election.
According to him, Peter was a two-time governor of Anambra state yet he’s just seeking to study the working systems of a foreign country.
Reacting to the controversy, filmmaker Umoren, in a tweet, stated that he has seen more takes on Obi’s travel itinerary than the ones President Muhammadu Buhari has taken.

She added that there’s still a long list of other bills that she has to pay out of her monthly salary when forty percent of her income has gone to fueling her car already.
She asked the direction the country is headed and noted that with the current economic situation in the country, the World Bank’s prediction that many Nigerians will become poor is about to become a reality.
“Which way is Nigeria headed? I bought 50 litres of diesel for my car at the cost of N40, 000 in Enugu. I’m wondering how we will all survive this hardship. As a Law Professor that has reached the last step and stage in promotion at a Federal University, I’m paid about 400k per
Month after taxes so if I spend forty thousand conservatively for fuelling my car on a weekly basis that’s if I remain within my city times that by at least 200 litres per Month it means 40 percent of my salary in fuelling. What about other utilities, electricity, water, rent,
food, children’s school fees, medical, phone and internet etc. Cooking gas is up by over 200 percent? Do we resort to firewood? World Bank’s prediction that millions of Nigerians would be driven to the poverty level is real . We’re in troubled waters with crippling inflation!” She tweeted.
Popular Nollywood actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh otherwise known as Okon Lagos, has said he will sell his vote to any politician willing to pay the ‘right price’.
He made this declaration in a video shared on his Instagram page while speaking on the 2023 general elections and the vote-buying antics of some politicians.
According to Okon, such politicians pay citizens to vote for them once in four years and it’s only fair for him to collect enough money to sustain him until the next election season.
The 40-year-old comic actor said he would willingly sell his vote at $1000/day, and went on to calculate the total amount he would collect for four years.
He said there are 365 days in one year and when multiplied by four years, it gives 1,460 days. He then multiplied 1,460 days by his said price/day and it amounts to $1,460,000.
The actor said he would offer the politician an exchange rate of N500 to a dollar and when the total amount is converted to naira, his selling price becomes N730 million.
According to him, that should be enough to fend for himself and his family till the next election season when politicians will start canvassing for votes again.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has taken to social media to reveal that he was once a victim of abuse in his marriage.
It would be recalled that the actor got separated from his wife, Suzanne Emma, in 2015 after she filed for a divorce on grounds of domestic violence.
However, they got officially divorced in 2017 and he proceeded to have a lowkey wedding with a South African model, Yolanda Pfeiffer, whom he is still married to.
Well, the 55-year-old actor recently shared his opinion on abuse in marriage and stated that women tend to be more abusive in marriage which explains why men usually die first.
According to him, he was a victim of abuse in his marriage and it was God that saved him.
However, he didn’t disclose if he was referring to his first or second marriage.
Emeka commented,
“Pls, pls do your research well. Most women abuse men more lately. They don’t love again. Most of them marry you for your money and make your life miserable, if not kill you.
I was a victim. Why are kidnappers and armed robbers wives not crying out? Why must it be very rich and successful men lately? Violent men are in the cover while this “kill and get rich” model spreads unrecognized.
Not saying there are no deadbeat men but the increase on the other gender manipulative edge is totally ignored. Why do men have to always die before women in marriage? Ask your father. Ask your grand father. That’s if they are still alive to tell you things.
Pls, pls lets stop encouraging this wicked, misleading and greedy women, with this mudane top. Na God save me.”
