Ini Edo
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.
But 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.
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.”
