Comedienne Princess Damilola has opened up once again about her failed marriage, telling Punch that her marriage lasted less than a month and she fell ill and had to be hospitalized after her husband left her. Excerpts from the interview below...
You didn’t say what was wrong with you that you had to be hospitalized?But you already know. We thank the Lord. The most important thing is that I am alive and better. I appreciate life more. But this one you are asking, e no reach make I sick? After my husband left after our wedding, was it not enough reason for me to be sick? Ah! The Lord is our strength.
Why are you making fun of this?Ah! I am telling you the truth o. The truth is that we all have challenges in our lives. I have always believed that the challenge is not the issue but how you get up and get over it. I was very down last year. It was my low moment. But with the help of God and the support of my family and friends, I am here now. I am happy.
Are you no longer depressed?I was never depressed. I reacted like every normal human being would react if she embarks on a lifetime journey and it doesn’t go as she planned it. But God has a reason for everything.
Are there times you wish you weren’t a celebrity especially when you are linked with controversies?The only time I felt bad about my fame was when my marriage ended. I felt if I weren’t this popular; people wouldn’t have talked about it. So many marriages crash on a daily basis but you will not hear about them. Some people have been married five times but you will not hear their gist because they are not in the eye of the public. People didn’t know that the marriage had broken up until December when I felt I was strong enough to handle the publicity that it generated.Were you shocked with the kind of publicity it generated?I was shocked! People called me from all parts of the world including China. Some people cried while some people felt happy. Some guys said they were happy my marriage ended. Some said they were not happy that I even married the guy. Some said I looked older than him. Some said my marriage shouldn’t have ended just like that. People talked and talked. But the only time you know your marriage is successful is when you live with your partner and God calls one of you home. Marriage of 30 years can still break up. It is a bad thing for a marriage to breakup. So you can imagine the unhappiness the parties involved would be going through. Nobody is happy when his/her marriage ends. Some people see me outside and ask, ‘your marriage has ended, how do you feel?’ I will answer them that I am jumping up or how else do they expect me to feel? Nonsense! A comedian once said that ‘complete’ and ‘finish’ appear to have the same meaning but they are not the same. If you marry the right person, you are complete but if you marry the wrong person, you are finished.Were you in love with him in the first place?I got married to somebody who I was in love with. At that time, he also said he loved me. Unfortunately, the marriage ended too soon.Why?It was due to irreconcilable differences. It is not a thing of joy. I don’t think we should celebrate sadness and bad news. We should be more sensitive. No marriage should end but peradventure it does, don’t make a mockery of that person. You are not even mocking the person, you are mocking God.Are you giving it another shot?No! Me ke? Let us struggle first and make some money. In any case, I think I should marry a Chinese or an Indian. If many people agree that I should marry a Chinese, then I will go ahead. But a Japanese might be better. Japanese products are strong and reliable.Is your ex-husband still your friend?I don’t think you should call him my ‘ex-husband’ because we were together for less than one month. An ex- husband is somebody you marry and after three years or more, you separate. Anyway, I don’t know where he is. We have moved on.Are you happy?I am happier now and I am better. I was happy before, the only thing that got me sad was that the marriage ended. I did one wedding and it didn’t go well and I am alive. I should thank God. A lot of people lose their spouses just after a week of marriage. As long as you are alive, have hope. If God says I should marry again, I will follow His will. I have made my own attempt, let God make His own. I am sure he (ex-husband) is okay anywhere he is anyway.Wasn’t the break-up your fault?No. it wasn’t my fault. I can’t really say it was his fault too. It was just irreconcilable differences. We met and we were in love and we quickly got married. Maybe we got married too quickly but I have seen people who got married a month after they met and the marriage lasted. Our own didn’t work out. There is no need to apportion blame.Do you still believe in love?I have always believed in fairy tales and a knight in shining armour but my marriage didn’t go that way unfortunately.There is usually a stigma associated with women who are divorced, doesn’t that bother you?Stigma ke? That was before. Men can afford to have 20 children from different women. If your wife is abusing you and you cannot take it, my brother, please take a walk. If your husband is abusing you, take a walk. If it is like my own case that both of you cannot agree, you also need to take a walk before somebody wounds the other person. Death is final. So it is better to take off before it degenerates into death. I know somebody that separated from his wife and years later, he came back and begged her and they are back together. He, who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. Don’t die there.So what if your husband comes back?No o. But like I said; he, who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.

She should move on with her life, and stop talking about a marriage that crashed a year ago!!! It takes 2 to tango, so to me, they are both at fault, for their divorce.... Move on and get a life too!!! Whizman
Oma se ooo, it is well, God will connect u to d one dat will work out fine.
She answered all questions tactfully. She seems happy now
Initially you said he left you after one month and later its due to irreconcilable differences meaning its both your fault. Why make it look like he left you one month after your wedding for no reason?
Before the sanctimonious crowd crucifies her for taking a long walk before the marriage did her in, I'll step up to wish her the best in her new life. Better luck next time.
This is quite bad.I pray that God will give you the strength to bear the pain.
Face of lib
Hmmmm. .. ow come I feel u had ur faults too. Wasnt jst d guys fault. Anyway I wish u well

Will anyone even marry you or stay with you. Foolish goat
You don't even know wot really happened, you are the ode oshi
Am sure you are single, God help you
You don't even know princess, you know nothing about her
It helps to talk about issues or else you go mad
Eeya...May God heal her of the pain she felt when her marriage failed.
She said 'wedding' not marriage so technically a wedding doesn't last past a day. That it lasted up to a month is a big plus, so congrats to them.
Happy sunday y'll..
men!!!!!!!

both of you embarassed ur parents, family and friends .
Ehya! Our God is a God of second chance tho....
All Iz Well (Liהda's Maה)
Hmmmm...na wa oo. Princess take heart. It's painful even though u making d situation on a lighter ground. God's own wil still come for u. In d mean time, enjoy ur single hood nd live it!
Terrible journalism and very foolish questions for a top National newspaper
I can read the guy mind from the picture, he was stylishly telling Princess that he is a wrong number she dialled.
⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
That is the issue with pple like you, you are already blaming the guy without hearing his own side of the story. You must really be gullible to believe whatever you here especially from women. Smh
Kelvin, princess is not wealthy she is managing, she was my room mate at school ,and still my friend, very humble girl and lively, get ur facts b4 u judge
It should be your wedding lasted less than a month not marriage...Marriage is a life time promise. Na wedding you do mama mi!

dey did not prepare for marriage..
Sorry princess you will find someone better, just try to shed some weight
This is not Western world. At least not yet with all our borrow borrow. Celebrity ladies need to be submissive. It will only add respect to you in public. Come to think of it; how many of 'them' married to their less popular hubbies could boast of happy home? Boss lady kooo lady terror ni. Bunch of Margaret Thatchers.... learn from your mothers.
He most likely found out your pussy smells
She is covering up for the nigga.... U deserve someone better joooor... #kri
Happily ever after is for cartoon watchers
U are an idiot for saying ds!
Princess is just a lousy Pig,who must av charmed d poor guy. Whether he deserted u when u were about to reach organism on ur wedding night is none of our biz,fatty! Get a gigolo to f-k ur oily pussy and stop whining,hippo!

Pele oo. U shld learn from ur mistakes.. marriage is not for boys and girls....n learn to be a "wife" bcos dat word (wife) comes with so much responsibilities. I strongly believe tru love stand d test of time n also conquers all. Good luck.
No offence but it's just weird when people say irreconcilable differences was the reason they split up after marriage. What is the essence of dating and courtship if not to find out whether you have such irreconcilable differences?? Yes people pretend but unless you're ignoring key signs you ought to learn a lot about a person during courtship. Anyway I wish them the very best.
I'll giv u a thousand chances baby oku. Bm
nice interview..move on..bt dat nigga looks younger sha..................................#KingOfKings
Give me one good reason for her to cover her face? People will just open their mouth and say rubbish. Was that interview not clear to you? Or u hv problem of reading?
Madam!forget about marriage,you are not the submissive type.In a marriage,somebody must play the fool.Arrogance & pride wil not allow you forge ahead in marriage.Or is it your age and stature that caused it ?
This could be the shortest marriage ever lasted lol
She was too open,plain and it is sooo obvious dt she is still hurt and she is using the consolation therapy....... You do you princess!!!your hAPiness first,peoples opinion second......#cheeZyjayne
God be with you
Odeeee... mumu like you. How am I sure you are going to marry? Yeye pikin... husband dey far from ppl like you.
Who she dey tell all dis useless story? Abeg make she park well for one lungu...#blackmamba
She should just loose some weight. In addition to the fact that she's a celeb she's also fat. She might not be submissive and I'm sure she was intimidating the man or something wors
You don't care about d stigma associated with divorce? Tell that to d marines. U do. Invest the calories you're deploying here into reconciling with your hubby. No matter how seemingly nice people would be to u, they will always view u through the lens of disdain. This is Africa. Divorce is worse than cancer. #truthhurts#
Is good he run, cos u deserve beta than that [him] dnt worry dear is gud u bliv in God it is well ~ice princess~
Her toto is too wide
I'm sure dats y he left
Her toto is too wide
Dats y he dumped her
princess i wish u find love soon, every body deserves a right to be happy. Lindiway i no understand y u no d show my post o!
I really hate it when people draw conclusions from a one sided story....She is even wise to try to cover up for him, because the blame is from both ends. My advice to people considering marriage is this.....marry your friend, not someone who you barely know and you think you do.

Marriage is honorable in all ramification. You both most have ignored something - Jesus. I believe with Him alone, we can attain Perfection. As you continue with your life the Lord will lead you aright and also tell it to God before you enter the next one and if is the same guy, still pray and hear from God. Good luck dear!!!
Marriage is honorable in all ramification. You both must have ignored something - Jesus. I believe Him alone can make things right. Your experience should not deny you of what God instituted. Pray and hear from God for your next marriage and if it's the same guy, still pray. God will lead you aright. Good luck dear. Love you
It's good she i strong enough to talk about what happened now. I think people should learn from this. Two things you need to pick from what she said...One. Don't rush into marriage. Two. Love alone is not enough. You need to be compatible, and understand each other. You need to be friend.
Are You A One Minute Man?
Thank you.princess u destroyed ur marriage with your hands.thank God you didn't say anything bad abt this guy abi yr ex, unless I for finish u here.
Linda, it will be a disservice to your blog if you continue to post comments that aren't in either proper grammar, our local dialect (s) or pidgin! The text language is an eye sore and a pain to read. This is a PSA.
Thank God you have moved on, better happiness coming your way nd Allah will definitely bring ur heart rob for you

What's the stigma associated with divorce? That's if you bother your mind too much about such stigmatization in the first place. It's pain, not stigma. If you have a job/business, no problem. It is only when there is no money that you'll be bothering yourself about stigma. Nobody should bother advice her because she said it is only when death does a couple part that it can be concluded that a marriage is successful; if you are not in that category she feels you have nothing to offer her in the form of advice, e.g, lose weight, be submissive.

Ehhhyaaaa, Princess it saddened my heart that you two are divorced due to disagreement, which agreement led to the marriage?
Jonrisa...
I pray she finds true love the next time she decides to marry
Oh less than a month?? Shorter than Kim K's marriage. lol
its unfair to insult her.Princess,it is well,u now know better,u will find amazing love that you we know God made him left for a reason
Princess, marriage is not what you can rush into. It takes a lot of commitment, dedication and serious courtship. Get to know yourself better and pray. Shine your eyes, open your mind.
Na only God know wetin princess do d guy wey en bolt like dat.That guy must av seen something terrible...
Princess jus open up on what happen
You people don't know what has gone on between them you have no right to judge her.many things are best left unsaid. Princess has a medical condition that has affected hee fertility because of this man i am not her PA so i shouldn't disclose it all.Another woman would v killed the guy for what he did
story for the gods.
Nawa o.
Its a pity
Candylips, are you saying he gave her an STD that made her infertile?
Aaaaaaaahhhhh.... Ur mouth!
yes he gave her an STD that has one of her tubes damaged. she has presently adopted a child
I feel it was pressure from diff angles that made her marry. It is good to know what God thinks b4 taking any decision especially on marriage.
All the best.... marriages of this century*
i feel her pain. Those married for a week, month, years, will say "its not an easy journey". Our mothers who are still married are either fortunate (played their part well) or stayed coz of the children (to avoid the divorce trauma on the children).
Whether you marry your best friend or stranger, God is the only answer to a successful marriage.
I love, cos she is blunt and precise, not like other pple ...lie lie

Contrary to popular opinion, marriages are not made in heaven. They take work. Lots of work. Successful marriages are created not just "divined."
