The mother of one said she became tired of marriage because of pressure from her husband’s family members who were constantly asking her to quit entertainment.
“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 [my ex-husband] 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.”
Okorie spoke in a recent podcast interview hosted by colleague, Iyabo Ojor.
Hmmm
ReplyDeleteAngela onye okwu n' uka.
ReplyDeleteNkogheri
ReplyDeleteDid she fall out of love or it was the pressure from her ex in-laws that made quit her marriage?
ReplyDeleteTori ko ye mi.
That her husband looked/seemed like a gentleman, no wahala. And she has actually confirmed it herself.
ReplyDeleteGoodluck to both of them
If I hear
ReplyDeleteHear what?
DeleteNo hoard. Give us in full. Na why we vist here, abi? 😁
I don’t believe this. People hardly talk about the real reasons why the left a marriage. They only give the excuses that netizens agree with
ReplyDeleteAngela but your husband was In support of u. Why did it matter to u about your in-laws ?
It's well with you
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteEveryone hosts a Podcast
I don't think the ex husband totally supported your acting career as well, else he would have made his family understand and instruct them to let you be, except yousef no wan stay inside marriage.
ReplyDeleteFunny how some people would want to dictate your life for you. Forgeting that you're a human being with emotion, dreams .
ReplyDeleteAfter My service, I got a bank job with Fidelity on a platter of gold, but the "husband Man" then refused me working. By now I for know the level wey I for dey.
Nonsense Dream Killers in the name of Marriage !!!
Mtsheeeeeeeeeeeeew x 1000
As a grown woman, you should take responsibility for your decision to turn down the job. The only person that killed your dream is you. You sound just like my mother. As I always tell her whenever she wants to start playing the blame game, “It was you that ultimately decided to give up the job. You decided that keeping your husband happy at your own expense was the right decision. As such, accept that you are living with the fruits of your own choice.” Life is all about choices. You win some, you lose others. However, you need to make sure you are happy to accept and live with whatever choice you make regardless of how it turns out. You could insist on the job and end up losing the marriage. Depends on your appetite - which option is preferable to you? You choose and that’s that.
DeleteSo there is a reason for adultery. Surprise. Surprise.
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least for women in Lekki.
We learn by the day.
Believe it or not, there is a reason for most things - even murder. Whether the reason is a justifiable one, is the real question.
DeleteOk oh
ReplyDeleteWhy marrying her when you know you can't tolerate her career? Only for you to come around to take what makes her who she is, why? This is wickedness
DeleteSorry for that , but I don't believe it because people can never tell you the true reason why they divorce.
ReplyDeleteWait. I think I'm still very much young but for the life of me I can't recognise practically 90% of most people who call themselves actors these days. It is like under every rock you turn over there's someone there claiming to be an actress.
ReplyDeleteLet God bless everyone hustle sha. When aunty ready to talk why she waka comot for house she go talk. That thing wey she talk up there no be am.
Your husband supported you and his family didn't support you? Which means your husband was never supportive because he was supposed to put his family in their place.
ReplyDeleteYou fell out of love because his family weren't supportive?
I was told to resigned and start selling crayfish, God you way make me stubborn I THANK YOU OOOOOO hahahahahhahah
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣that person must be very wicked.
DeleteAngela the super star 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteIt is well oo
ReplyDeleteNeither here nor there.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
In-laws are the major reasons most marriages break up.we need wisdom while dealing with them.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ
DeleteWhich in-laws, is it the ones that live in their own house that will be controlling you. How many married women even give their in-laws that space in this country. Women that always turn to tigers when they stay or meet with in-laws, abegi.
DeletePls go back to your husband
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Angela.
ReplyDeleteIt is well
I'm trying to balance her reason with her husband acceptability of her career.. She is yet to spill the truth.
