Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie has said it is not a wise decision for a woman to agree to marry a man she does not love.
Angela stated this in a podcast episode with colleague, Iyabo Ojo, while disclosing that it is one of the major reason a lot of women cheat on their partner.
The 48-year-old mother of one said she dumped her husband, Chukwuma Orizu because she “fell out of love.”
According to the actress, she got tired of marriage because of pressure from her husband’s family who were constantly asking her to quit acting.
She said, “I won’t advise anybody to be in a marriage when you’re not in love with the man. I think that’s the reason a lot of women cheat. In this Lekki, you have too many women who cheat in their marriages.
“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.”

I agree with the woman marring some one you are not in love with is hard in the flesh, if both of you love each other they will be happeness in the family.
This Time Around I have QUESTIONS…….

*THIRDLY:On what Basis Did you Marry the guy?
*FOURTHLY:Didn’t you guys Agree on your Career Before you got married to the guy in Questions…….Let me Reserve the rest,cos I don’t get any piece of it.
Why’s she contradicting herself? if it’s possible to fall in love then you can also fall out of love, just as she did. So love can’t be the only reason for going into marriage.
This is common among many Nigerian lady just because the man get money,initially she didn’t love the man she had another man she is dating but getting another man with lavish style she will abandoned the one she is dating before and this lead to early marriage crash
Love is not what binds a marriage together rather commitment.
Love only attracts you to someone (marriage),after that comes COMMITMENT.
You don’t marry because you LOVE, but
You love because you MARRY.
No be advice be that o, because some ladies are because you have money not love and it can be after two years and tired of the marriage sha
