Nollywood actress and singer, Angela Okorie, has revealed how her marriage to her ex-husband, Chukwuma Orizu, crashed.
In an interview with Iyabo Ojo on her Youtube channel, Angela stated that she had fallen out of love with her husband.
According to her, it’s unwise to get married to a man you do not love because it could result in numerous problems in the marriage eventually.
She described her ex-lover as a good man but she went further to state that her problems had started from the influence her in-laws had wanted to instill in her.
Angela said they didn’t want her to continue acting or be in the entertainment world.
She said, “I won’t advise anybody to be in a marriage when you’re not in love with the man. I think that’s the reason a lot of women cheat. In this Lekki, you have too many women who cheat in their marriages.
“For 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 didn’t want me to continue acting.
“They didn’t want me to do anything acting. They were like, ‘If we are going to marry you, you’ll stop doing entertainment.’ And I will be like, ‘Even my mum can’t even stop me. That is my life. Do you know how many years it took me?’
“He was in support of me. He doesn’t even stress me but because of the whole saga, it was like I was in a place where the people didn’t even understand my vision. They don’t understand what I’m chasing. You need to chase it with me.
“This is what your wife wants. You can’t kill my dream. This is what I’ve worked for so many years to get here. So, you can’t just wake up and say, “Because you want to marry me, give up on my dreams.”
