Popular Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has confirmed rumours that her marriage to
her US-based husband, Philip Ehiagwina, has broken up.The couple got married in
November 2008 at a ceremony held in Houston, Texas, USA.
Tweeting
from the handle, @Its_Lacute, one Lacute H. said, “dear Ini Edo you do not and
i repeat, you do not owe anyone any explaination about your private life.
Whether u cheated or not… its really none of our business, its between u and ur
hubby. Stop the defense explanation and live your life abeg.”
Contrary to the
rumour that her husband had opted out of the marriage and demanded a refund of
the dowry paid on her from her parents, which had already been refunded, citing
allegations of infidelity, the actress said she it was who actually asked her
ex-husband for a divorce.
She
cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her action.
The
young thespian who has made a mark in the nation’s movie industry, with over 50
flicks to her credit, took to her twitter page Thursday October 2, where she cleared
the air on the rumour.
“I
asked for a divorce from my ex-husband cos of lots of irreconcilable
differences. I never cheated on my husband. There is a conscious n malicious
attempt at tarnishing my image. This whole saga is familiar let’s not forget de
past. Thanks n God bless,” she said on her twitter account in two separate
tweets.
Expectedly,
the news of the divorce has elicited reactions from fans of the actress who has
a huge fan base, boasting over 300,000 twitter followers. Some of her fans are
asking if she will change her handle, @Ini4phil, Phil being the short form of
her ex-husband’s name Philip. One of her followers, Alpacino, tweeting from the
handle, @Alpacino_Jay asked, “as una don divorce, are you changing your handle
or nah?” Some other fans maintained that she owed no one any explanation and
her reason for opting out of the marriage was no one’s business.
