Mbong Amata speaks on crashed marriage, says life happened

Beautiful Mbong Amata, estranged wife of prolific film maker & movie director Jeta Amata recently opened up on the life and times of her five year marriage, which sadly packed up a while back.

She spoke for the first time about her ended marriage in an interview with Encomium mag this week. She described the father of her 5 year old daughter as a friend for life.
"I have a lot of great and fond memories. I had more fun than bad memories with my former husband. I was first married to my friend before a husband. That was why we were civil enough to know that even if the marriage didn't work, we were still friends and that is the bedrock of whatever it is that we have. We are connected for life. We have a child together. Yeah, we are cool, He is my guy. Jeta is a great man, fantastic dad but life has to move on".
The actress said she is currently not in any relationship and getting married again wasn't in the cards for her at the moment as her main focus now is to raise her daughter and her career. When asked what really happened to their marriage, she said 'life happened'

Hmmmm this is why there is need for proper orientation and counselling before going into marriage.
The institution of holy matrimony is a sacred one which God holds in a high esteem.but my generation see it as what "happens"
I guess they weren't meant to be,they just "happened"

They're apart but remain on good terms for the sake of their child. No lies, no face saving, no fake public show, no murder suicides because they've let go. Very mature of them

People always try to cover up their pains whenever they go a divorce or separation...we really didn't expect you to come on here and tell us anything ugly about your ex husband or your failed marriage. .however, if moving on was the best choice for you, then that's just fine..Happiness is paramount#Be good

Ps,@ sii All, its either you're just plain stupid or you can't read...Hello!This post is about Mbong Amata, smh

Bonaria, why aru talking this way? So unfortunate most people in our generation make conclusionz out of nothing. Nothing like they weren't meant to be. And no mata hw, proper. Orientation or nt, All we need is God. This is jst the devil @ work n dis generation of ourz. And divource is a tng dat can even ruin onez life. Honestly if we can see divource out of marriage alternatives, its gona get beta. We shuld learn to be more tolerant both n our relationships and marriages. We ar all human. God help us. Somtymz I imagine to remain bein single is beta dan getn maried and divource.

Life is getting more complicated everyday.. I grew up knowing that when one's marriage crashes, it daints the person's image.. Now everyone is proud to even announce divorces..

Thank God it was life that happened

I don't know how people feel comfortable speaking about their failures in the media, it's just petty and foolish! You got married and it didn't work, why do you have to broadcast it? And you went where Nigeria's value went to? Right outta the window is where! To be replaced by borrowed American culture/law.

See someone saying even if he is killing,you...die there. Naija people and nonsense. Divorce in my religion is only advised under certain parameters, and to be honest none of you know why they parted ways. If they are trying to make it work amicably for their child's sake then more power to them. Some of your homes are so dysfunctional that your kids are an afterthought. All you do is dodge blows, walk on eggshells and spend their college savings on the latest drug to cure the disease package your spouse has brought home from his or her latest escapade. Judgmental lot. God bless and continue to give grace to those of you fighting to make your good marriages even better. The rest of you, face your work,life, marriage or kids and stop passing blind judgment. @Ms.Daramola, please do not give that kind of deadly advice to any woman, if you are being abused...save your self. There is no prize for marriage and when he kills you,6 months will not reach his people will start pushing him to remarry. Don't fool yourself ok.

I wld never support divorce or separation,unless of course dere was deceit even b4 both couples finally agreed to get married,or worst case scenario,a partner wants to or threatens to end d life of his/her partner.issues wld always,always arise in marriage.handling them 'for better,for worse',a vow so effortlessly taken b4 marriage makes d couple mature,n stronger.d feeling dat one can 'cop out' through divorce is just so wrong,n highly regrettable.

Unknown said...

Guess we should just all remain single. So many of us prepare 4 d wedding not d marriage.

She cheated wit few dudes around and a frd copied her chats thru her fone, saved n sent out thru anoda means, d fact is tha she wanted a life of luxury, she wan live like Chika Ike, Tonto n d rest, she was caught wit Omoni Oboli then, they both date politicians..runs gurls

Anonymous said...

When d gist first came out sometimes lastyr, Omoni Oboli denied, cos she was freshly married, maybe her husby relies on her for survival, I like Jeta 4 refusing to be cowed by a runs gurl,I heard she was even seeing their family frd thats a marketing manager in one of the conglomerates around, shame gurl and shes got a love child she hid the identity frm Jeta

Hmm... @Ijeoma Okafor, dats jst it! Dats d real truth of d mata... (Preparin for d wedin nd not d marriage). So many ppl ar beta being fnds dan couples

Unknown said...

What a pity. Any successful marriage MUST have a 'fool', to sustain it and naturally its d woman. When d storm of marriage starts raging, remember to hold on strongly to ur vow - for better for worse' d storm in d form of infidelity, unprovoked anger, violence, uncaring, even desertion will pass away and later comes in d calm. Ask any woman in a marriage of 30 years and above. I hope u two lovely couple could seat at a roundtable and reconsider! Its never too late. U are one couple that I admire and hope d Prince of Peace shd grant u real love like mine as in 1 Corinthias 13:4-8. Shalom

Did all those cheating married Nigerian men also borrow their culture from America? Because it is definitely more rampart and even generally accepted in Nigeria.

R u 4 real? "Even if he wants to kill u die there??????"
May u or ur xdren never be victims of domestic violence. Only then will u know what it means when for a parent

Anonymous said...

Gbammest right there! People blindly judge others and cast stones while they're currently suffocating and gasping for the provabial air in their own marriages. If this girl came out to say ugly things about her ex-hubby, people will rebuke, chastise, and call her names. Now she's praising him but said it just didn't work out with them and yet some people are still doing the same

Hmmmm........the problem is that most people prepare for wedding & not marriage
~Goodnews~

Anonymous said...

A lot of people have issues. So a woman should be a fool and accept violence because the calm will come. How about all the women whose husbands killed them? I bet it was a good thing for them to wait for the calm. Madness.

Shut up that was Ruke Amata's wife not Jeta's.

Unknown said...

@alloy u r very correct.

Anonymous said...

It was never meant to be that way to begin with. Parting ways does not have to leave either party in the marriage, less human or stigmatized. It's human lives involved. If the people involved feel the can't stay together anymore, quitting amicably should be a better option than living in chaos or loosing one's life.

Marriage no easy oo. but seriously as an africa woman there are things u let go in other to have a very peaceful and enjoyable home.
Moreover, if u say he is ur friend for life, u shld hv remained married to him.

jenny said...

Believe me men have their own problems but is only whn u start making urself superior in d marriage dat whn u knw he is not as calm as u think. So women, i knw say e no easy but try to summit to ur husband.
My opinion sha!
