In the Nigeria entertainment industry today, the holy institution of
marriage has been desecrated. It is now a common trend that most
celebrities no longer give a second thought before dumping husbands for
another depending on what the new ones have to offer.
However, it
wasn’t always this way in the past as those who were married once and
divorced were stigmatized and seen as a bad omen.
Increasingly, and in greater numbers, Nigerian male and female celebrities are changing wives and husbands like their ‘shokoto’.
The
actresses who have toed this line have had their lives embroiled in hot
waters of controversies, and yet survived while some are not so lucky.
Even there are cases of those who rushed into the arms of the other
woman’s man only to rush out.
Nigeriafilms carefully selected list of actresses who have married more than once and their different tales of woes and triumph.
Stephanie Okereke
5 years after her marriage to
former Super Eagles defender, Chikelu Iloenyosi, met with troubled
waters, the Nollywood icon found love again. She remarried in France to
Linus Idahosa in a glamorous wedding ceremony tagged ‘fairy tale’.
Mr.
Iloenyosi, has also remarried while Stephanie is expected to deliver
her first child for Linus Idahosa before the end of 2015.
Iloenyosi got married to Stephanie in 2004 but the union crashed in 2007, without a child to show for it.
Mercy Aigbe
Although the identity of her first
husband hasn’t been fully unveiled, not many of her fans know that Mercy
Aigbe-Gentry who is now married to Lanre Gentry was a wife to an Igbo
man and had a beautiful daughter for him, but the union couldn’t stand
the test of time as it crashed few years later.
Mercy was tagged a
husband snatcher after she got pregnant for Lanre Gentry who was then
married to another actress, Bimbo Akinsanya.
Mercy and Lanre
officially tied the knots at the Ikoyi Registry in 2013 but have been
living together as man and wife before then.
Bimbo Akinsanya
After this Yoruba actress was
backstabbed by a fellow actress, she decided to move on with her life
and let Mercy Aigbe enjoy the same man that used to be her loving
husband.
The god of love, later smiled on Bimbo and she remarried
a few years later. To double her blessing, the script interpreter
welcomed her first child with the new hubby, Ayoola Adewale, few months
after her wedding.
Bimbo was delivered of a baby boy at a hospital situated in the Alagbado area of Lagos on Thursday, June 4, 2015.
Ibinabo Fiberesima Egbuka
It is no longer news
that she has three children, all of whom come from three different
fathers. Despite her indifference to her lifestyle, many see women who
have led such life as having three children out of wedlock and for
different fathers as a taboo.
Moreover, her fans had hoped that
Ibinabo’s over publicized romantic affair with prolific actor cum
producer, Fred Amata would lead the ex-lovers to the altar, but it only
produced little Zino packed up just like that of her other two baby
daddies.
IB, as she is fondly called is now married to Uche Egbuka and had a colourful wedding at her hometown in Okrika, Rivers State.
Mr. Egbuka, is a divorcee who also has two children and also not the father of any of Ibinabo’s children.
Ann Njemanze
She is the former wife of actor Segun Arinze and has a beautiful daughter for him before their love faded.
The
Tinsel actress found love again in the waiting arms of a lecturer,
Silver Ojieson, who is younger than her and on November 9, 2013, they
signed the dotted lines.
The wedding took place at her family
compound in Bucknor Estate, Isolo, Lagos, and was attended by her family
members, friends and very few of her Nollywood colleagues.
However,
there are unconfirmed speculations that the young union which was much
celebrated crashed as a result of Annie's lifestyle.
Rumours have
it that the mother of two refused to drop the lifestyles she picked for
over 10years of living as a single woman, after her marriage with Mr.
Arinze crashed in 2003.
Foluke Daramola
She married Babatunde Sobowale in
2005, and the union ended in 2008 after two kids, on allegations wife
battering and infidelity.
The big busty actress has since
remarried, and recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary with
her latest husband, Kayode Salako.
Her second marriage drew a lot of controversy, after she confessed to snatching Salako from his ex-wife.
Fathia Balogun
When the surname controversy
between separated couple Saidi and Fathia Balogun was getting messier,
the former opened up some hidden truth about his ex-wife.
He explained that he only had two kids with the actress cum producer, while her first child is from a different husband.
‘To
set the record straight, Fathia and I had two children together not
three. Fathia’s first child is from a different husband that she later
divorced before we were married’, he squealed.
Stella Damasus
Few years after the shocking death
of Jaiye Aboderin, who passed away in 2004, at the age of 33, his
beautiful wife and mother of his two lovely daughter remarried.
Stella fell into the arms and bed of Emeka Nzeribe, but she didn’t stay
up to a year in their marriage to the consternation of fans. She rushed
into that marriage and rushed out.
Then she ‘snatched’ her
colleague’s husband; Daniel Ademinokan. Stella and Daniel who was once
married to Doris Simon have been living as man and wife in the United
States of America.
Regina Askia
The sexy mother was briefly married to a money bag, Charles Orie, but she later dumped him for American Ruddy Williams.
Bukky Wright
The veteran actress has been married twice (If not more), yet they all crashed like a pack of card.
Bukky
Wright was married to top Lagos socialite, Bolaji Basia but the union
wasn’t on a solid foundation as it collapsed few years after it was
contracted.
The highly celebrated cross-over actress moved on to
the next one; a London big boy, Wale Onitiri. Just like the first, the
marriage didn’t stand the test of time; it also crumbled. The new man is
her life can’t be ascertained at the moment.
