She said, ā€œI wonā€™t advise anybody to be in a marriage when youā€™re not in love with the man. I think thatā€™s the reason a lot of women cheat. In this Lekki, you have too many women who cheat in their marriages.

ā€œFor me, I fell out of love. The man [my ex-husband] was a good man. I fell out of love because of what his family was doing. The family didnā€™t want me to continue acting. They didnā€™t want me to do anything acting. They were like, ā€˜If we are going to marry you, youā€™ll stop doing entertainment.ā€™ And I will be like, ā€˜Even my mum canā€™t even stop me. That is my life. Do you know how many years it took me?ā€™

ā€œHe [my ex-husband] was in support of me. He doesnā€™t even stress me but because of the whole saga, it was like I was in a place where the people didnā€™t even understand my vision. They donā€™t understand what Iā€™m chasing. You need to chase it with me. This is what your wife wants. You canā€™t kill my dream. This is what Iā€™ve worked for so many years to get here. So, you canā€™t just wake up and say, ā€œBecause you want to marry me, give up on my dreams.ā€
