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'
The rate of Divorce is just alarming

True talk. Really too much
Delete@alloy u r very correct.
DeleteHmmmm this is why there is need for proper orientation and counselling before going into marriage.
ReplyDeleteThe 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"
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
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.
DeleteAv bn followin U̶̲̥̅̊ Bonarios Closely, bt hw come U̶̲̥̅̊r always d 1st to comment and even if nt, U̶̲̥̅̊r always on dis page??? Though I aprec8 U̶̲̥̅̊r comments and al dat bt U̶̲̥̅̊ no get work? Lol..

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

ReplyDeleteAndy
Wa oh! God help us in this celebs era of divorce. They drink divorce like kunu. Haba! Wonder what went wrong. God please remove this hand of divorce in this era! Amen! $£.
ReplyDeletewhat the Hell is "Life happened" owkayi ooo
ReplyDeleteAm xoxo scared, God please help me ooo, cos. Divorce isn't an option in marriage.
ReplyDelete"you had more fun than bad memories, you are both friends, he is cul and you are both connected for life, he is a great man" is their something i am missing??? what else makes a man wanted? i wonder if you are saying all these yourself or is there something else you are not saying. if all you said are true, then i wonder.... #mythought#
ReplyDeleteOh well if its over, its over. No point crying over spilled milk.
ReplyDeleteMy dear thats what happens when you betray ur best friend and steal aman from her-Life happens no matter how long it takes!!!!!!!!!!!Hisses and walks away.
ReplyDeleteLife 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..
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
DeleteThank God it was life that happened
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteDid all those cheating married Nigerian men also borrow their culture from America? Because it is definitely more rampart and even generally accepted in Nigeria.
DeleteI dont understand what you mean by the guy is too ugly for her,maybe u explain it better ...
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that encomium mag r only interviewing divorced people this days, anyway na them sabi
ReplyDeleteDivorce everywhere its well
ReplyDeleteShe is talking rubbish u luv him he is ur guy and best friend yet u divorced him I always tell pple u can neva turn a flirtatious person to a wife one day her true colour will bcom visible.d oda day she said he stole her youth and didn't allow her take roles as an actress. Pple don't undastand d institution called marriage pls linda use my comment soapy
ReplyDeleteI love her maturity... She's got a good sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteIf he was (ALL THAT) den y d divorce????/
ReplyDeleteWell we just never. People should really understand d institution of marriage a lot more b4 going in......
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.
ReplyDeleteGbammest 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
DeleteShe was an an army asleep,now she is sober!! She dnt hv time for ur games,she hv her own goals to SCORE coz there are trophies to win instead of been one of his...Life is too short to be a prisoner and unhappy,why live miserable here on earth when you can alwys live miserable for eternity in hell??..... Hehehehe!! Gotta love her reply, the type that throws you into confusion and ignites your curiousity! # Cheezyjayne
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGuess we should just all remain single. So many of us prepare 4 d wedding not d marriage.
ReplyDeleteYou are a mad man/woman for that stupid story with no video
ReplyDeleteShe 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
ReplyDeleteWhen 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
ReplyDeleteShut up that was Ruke Amata's wife not Jeta's.
Deleteahhh sorrry madam dats all i have to say
ReplyDeleteBeing single is not just d best!...yea d guy can b nice,best dad,her best friend yet she divorce him.it happens n dats life he can b all to her ,but dey might not b compatiable to live as one.Marriage is not easy! D best tin in life is happiness afterall dis days men marry bcs dey need children not to stay as one. So sad dat marriages ends a lot. Dey might stil cum bk so many ended and stil make it bk
ReplyDelete@ ANONYMOUS 2.41, ITS SOOO OBVIOUS THAT U ARE VERY BITTER AND I HAVE YOUR TIME, THERE IS NO NEED TO HIDE UNDER ANONYMOUS, SHOW UR BITTER FACE... LET ME ASK U, IS MARRIAGE BY FORCE, MUST EVERYBODY GET MARRIED, U WERE DATING A GUY, HE SLAPS YOU AND YOU SAID LOVE CONQUERS ALL, U ARE DATING A GUY WHO CHEATS ON U AND U DECIDE TO STICK UR SORRY ASS INTO D RELATIONSHIP FINKING HE WOULD CHANGE, UR FAMILY AND FWNDS WARN U AGAIANST HIM AND U SAY U LOVE HIM, U GOT MARRIED TO HIM AND DEN U CANT COPE... SO WHOSE FAULT IS IT.....
ReplyDeleteU BERA DONT DECEIVE URSF, WEDA U LIKE IT OR NOT DIVORCE IS A SIN. U MARRIED HIM, NOBODY FORCED U... SO I REPEAT STAY AND LET HIM KILL U.
GASKIYA... *straightface*
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
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
ReplyDeletedis pple sef, marriage is not playing ground o, when u r married stay married till death o, judgement day is coming o.
ReplyDeletedis pple sef, marriage is not playing ground o, when u r married stay married till death o, judgement day is coming o.
ReplyDelete#just passing
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteI have my degrees,am wealthy so I don't really want 2 get married,hav so many suitors comin 4 me but am not interested cos I don't need a man 4 marriage n besides what do I need a man 4 when I have everytin I want n am satisfy, being a single independent lady is d best, advice 4 d single ladies
ReplyDeleteMbong, if truely ur Ex husband was your. Friend then you both shouldn't have considered seperation @ all.... Marriage is for better for Worst mbok!
ReplyDeleteMbong, You are beautiful and I love your BREAST, I would like to have them in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteMarriage 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.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, if u say he is ur friend for life, u shld hv remained married to him.
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.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion sha!
I read some comments,and I laugh!So many senseless and clueless educated fools comment on this blog!!U think a woman wants to just wake up and end her marriage?especially when she has a child with the man?u think it was an easy decision for her to make?I really don't get u judgemental lots on this blog..this mentally of marriage, is slowly driving people insane in this country!putting unnecessary pressure on pplp who are single,seperated or divorced!how is it u pplp's concern..the poor girl was obviously unhappy just like a lot of you who have chosen to stay in unhappy marriages all for the sake of being married!it's easier said than done!I bet a lot of you miserable married women wish you had the balls to leave your marriages..Abeg u pplp shld take several sits and let us hear word!!What if she gave the marriage her all and it did'nt work?she shld stay thr and die miserable!inshort I'm done here..u negative commentators are just a bunch of low lives!!
