4 Uche Iwuji
UcheIwuji’s marriage to Juwon Lawal lasted only 15 months and they had a kid together. It was reported that Uche allegedly posted her nude pictures on social media and this aroused the issues that led to her separation from her husband. They tied the knots in 2012 and separated in 2014.
The mother of one regretted her failed marriage.
5 Uche Ogbodo
Uche Ogbodo’s marriage to ex-footballer, Ato Ubby lasted only a few months. Reports had it that the actress left her marriage because of her ex-husband’s brain tumor though Uche said the real reason her marriage crashed was because it was based on lies. The duo got married on October 2, 2013.
6 Chiege Alisigwe
Veteran Nollywood actress, Chiege, married Tony Ebbe, a senior police officer in 2002.
Chiege’s marriage lasted for just three months but she has a beautiful daughter to show for it. In her words;
“I won’t say I made a wrong choice of a husband. Maybe I was naive when the affair was contracted. Maybe it was a wrong choice. I won’t call it a mistake but I call it an experience which I have learnt from,” she said
The marriage lasted for only three months, you won’t believe it. I had conceived the baby in my womb before we fell apart three months later, so I had the baby and have taken care of her all by myself since she was born. When I am working, she stays with my sister, and, as soon as I am back from location, I take her. She lives with me and I love her so much. In fact, she is my jewel.”
