Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo made the revelation in an interview
with Hip TV. “If I had problems with my
marriage, it had nothing to do with my acting profession. I wasn’t even a star
when I got
married. And when I got out of my marriage, I still wasn’t a star.
Up until I got married, I’d only featured in one film and I
pulled out of the industry the moment I got married. I was a full-time
housewife and businesswoman. I actually chose to come back into acting because
I had started having issues with my marriage and knew it wasn’t making me
happy.
And I knew that wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life.
People tend to marry for specific reasons, and as far as I am concerned, you
mustn’t be able to define the reason you love someone to the extent of
marriage. Once you get married for a reason, then there is a problem. I got
married because I was pregnant. That was a reason.
My husband married me because I was pregnant for him; that
was also a reason. Most men get married to ladies in the industry because of
the celebrity aura around them, only to realize that there is a lot to marriage
than that.
They also discover that in reality, these ladies aren’t as
perfect as the screens project them and then the men cannot get used to the ego
that comes with the profession and typically want to be the man and break those
wings. And if the woman is such that wouldn’t be tamed, then there is a crisis
and a collision." She said
