Nollywood actress Ini Edo who has been trying to shy away from talking about her private life, in this chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on ‘Rubbing Minds’ revealed a whole lot.
The interview was aired on Sunday, August 23 by Channels TV.
She spoke about her 5-year marriage to U.S based ex-husband, Phillip Ehiagwina, how her career as an actress affected her marriage, her involvement in politics and lots more.
Read excerpts below.
On rumours that she chose her career over her family
First of all, I got married early because I wanted to have a family so
anybody wouldn’t think that I would want to choose career over family.
In as much as my career is also very important.
On why her marriage ended
Basically there would never be a particular reason. You know how these
things work, I mean, just like I said incompatibility… or not being able
to reach certain compromises or finding common ground. You know when
you’re with and you cannot find common ground or agree on certain things
*sighs*.
On if she got married too earlyNo, I don’t think I got married too soon. I was pretty much of age but maybe in a little bit of a hurry but I don’t think I got married too soon.
On if her movie roles affected her marriage
I tried to keep my roles as decent as possible when I got married. Of
course, naturally there are certain roles that you are not going to be
allowed to play. Even if you are allowed to play them it’s not just your
husband, you’ve got his relations as well, and even if he understands
his relations might not.
On if she has regrets
I try not to regret my actions so I will say it has been an experience
which I have learnt a lot from. It’s made me a stronger person, it’s
made me wiser and I think it has actually made me more matured. So I
won’t say that I regret anything; I’ll say that I learned my lesson.
