November 26, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has opened up on the real reason her marriage to Chukwuma Orizu crashed. She revealed that the union didn’t work out not because of Chukwuma himself, but because of his family and their position on her work.
Angela said she had no choice but to walk out of the marriage while also advising anybody who is not in love to not get entrapped in a marriage.
“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. 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 didn’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 didn’t understand what I was 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, I should give up on my dreams,” she said.
