It is not a new thing for a woman to remarry. In fact, it
happens everywhere but we shall be looking at these top
Nollywood actresses because they are superstars and the
whole saga that surrounded them at the time of the said
marriage.
We bring to you the list of top 5 Nigerian actresses who married other women’s
husbands....
1. Funke Akindele
Popularly called Jenifa, 39-year-old Ikorodu-born funny
actress’s marriage to Mr Kehinde Oloyede can be said to
be one of the shortest marriage in the history of
Nollywood. Everyone, aside the actress knew the marriage
was bound to end before it even started. A superstar in
the Nigerian movie industry and a University of Lagos
graduate, walking down the aisle with a man who already
has about 6 children from 3 women?

Talking about how the union went awry, the ever funny
actress said: “I was abused emotionally and verbally.
Really, I felt we could work things out when the trouble
started two months after the marriage, but I made up my
mind and shut the door of the marriage at him when the
trouble was coming to me too much. I stooped to conquer
him; buried my fame and name to make him my husband,
but it did not work.
”At a point in time, I asked if it’s not the same man that
was all over me before we married. He nearly got me off
my career. He called me severally; I did not pick his calls
but when he realized my silence was tormenting him, he
took to Facebook. It’s alright. Ask him when did he come
to my house last? He left me here in my rented apartment
with nothing and he will just dash in and dash out. He
gets abusive, caustic anytime we have a misunderstanding
and often told me to my face, he’s going to his wife in
Oshodi.”
Funke Akindele is however now back and better and we
love that the girlpower in her has continuously made her
project ahead in her career.
2. Ini Edo
Sultry actress Ini Edo, got all blogs buzzing when news
came out that she was getting married in 2008 to her
American-based hubby, Phillips Ehiagwina . A year earlier,
a woman, Ruth, who was said to be Phillips’ wife (as at
that time) allegedly wrote an open letter to the actress,
warning her to steer clear of her husband.

She also went further to reveal how promiscuous her
husband was, so she won’t end up being dejected and
disappointed. The letter read thus:
“Hi Ini, I have information that you are having an affair
with my husband, Philip Ehiagwina. He has been deceiving
girls all over the place, making them believe he has
heaven and earth. You are not the only girl obviously, but
Ini watch your back so you don’t regret, I have nothing
against you but a piece of advice. I heard that you might
be pregnant for him, if it’s true, good luck. I called your
manager and told her everything. You are a very pretty girl
and should know how to respect your body. Do not be
carried away by flashy things cause that could be deadly
too. All that glitters isn’t gold, remember.”
But the actress dismissed all these, discrediting the media
for misrepresentation of facts. She got married to Mr
Phillips and the issue went from sweet to bitter in six
years. Her family was said to have returned the brideprice
over irreconcilable differences. The beautiful actress who
owns a massive N70m mansion in Lekki is however doing
well for herself and has put all her former marriage
troubles behind her.
3. Mercy Johnson
In 2011, one Mrs lovely okojie sent out an open letter to
Mercy Johnson to please release her husband and find a
single man to marry. According to the woman, the man in
question ithe father of her two children and he was still
legally married to her at the time. Read the letter below;
Mercy Johnson
”My name is Lovely Okojie, legal wife of Prince Odianosen
Okojie, the man Mercy Johnson is set to wed in a few
weeks. I was referred to you to help me share my story
after all else had failed to stop another woman from
breaking my home. I used to have a sweet home but now
Mercy Johnson is trying to destroy it. I’ve not been able
to stop crying or sleep well for the past few months.
”I’m appealing to the world and whoever knows her to
please tell her to leave my husband alone. I’m married to
this man and there has never been any divorce paper
signed. We are still legally married, he’s the love of my life
and the father of my two lovely kids. We got married back
in 2006 in Regio-Emilia, Italy, attached are pictures of the
wedding. At the moment, he’s busy in Nigeria planning to
wed Mercy Johnson, abandoning me and our children.
Fellow women is this fair? So with all the single guys out
there, Mercy could not find her self one. How can a woman
not care that she’s destroying the home of another
woman, all in the name of getting married desperately. I’m
in terrible pains. What do I tell my children?”
All these did not stop the wedding from taking place.
Although it caused a bit of delay, the two lovebirds
exchanged their vows at a Christ Embassy Church, Oregun,
Lagos on Saturday, August 27, 2011, amidst tight security.
They are still together, waxing stronger and have been
blessed with kids.
4. Nujella Njubigbe
Not many Nigerians knew Nujella until news went around
that she broke her colleague’s home.
The fast rising actress was however quick at discrediting
the news that she was sleeping with ace Nollywood
producer, Tchidi Tchekere. Tchidi was married with 3 kids
to Sophia Tchekere, another beautiful actress. The oga
producer later ended his six years marriage to Sophia and
moved in with Nujella at a new apartment in Ajah. They
have been blessed with a baby and they are still very
much together.
5. Stella Damasus-Aboderin

This particular actress is on the list because of the kind of
bad publicity she generates when it comes to men.
Reports went viral that the beautiful actress and
mother was harbouring another actress, Doris Simeon’s
husband, Daniel Ademinokan, but she debunked it, calling
it an absurd and senseless report.
Fastforward to few months (abi nah years) later, the
lovebirds are on our social media, professing love for each
other, with the poor Doris Simeon living her life as it
comes. life has been shattered. Doris Simeon and Daniel
Adenimokan had a kid, while Aunty Stella has three girls
from her first husband.
