LOVE CAN’T SAVE A MARRIAGE —ACTRESS IJEOMA THOMAS

Published

on

The idea that love is all that is needed to make a marriage work has been knocked down by Nollywood actress, Ijeoma Thomas, who believes that love is not enough to make a marriage work.

According to the actress, who was spotted in a movie role proposing marriage to Yul Edochie, love is not the foundation of marriage, adding that there are other components that makeup marriage and the family unit.

She explains further, “There are so many divorces and separations today because love doesn’t keep couples together, love can’t save the marriage. All those that have divorced or are separated were once in love with each other.

In fact, many that are divorced or separated now still love each other, but they can’t stay together again as couples because the other factors are not there, or were never there from the beginning of the relationship. They were both blinded by the love of the flesh and self-centred. What we call love today is self-centeredness.”

Speaking further in the one-on-one session with Potpourri, Ijeoma, who started production of her own movies in 2009 highlights other factors to be considered in making a marriage work.

“A successful marriage hinges on knowledge, understanding, wisdom, respect, values, love and trust. Now, when you, as a lady, know the value of your man, you will give him that high honour and respect by proposing to him before you lose him to another.

Also in the same order, when a man knows the value of his lady, he will give her that joy and happiness by proposing to her before he loses her to another man, therefore, before you take that step to propose to your lovely lady as a man, ask yourself what’s her value. Not in material or monetary terms, but values in terms of godliness, cleanliness, transparency, respect and honour. These are some of the values the man should look for in the woman he wants to marry,” she states.

The actress concluded that either the man or the woman can make the move to propose marriage.

MY LOVER BROKE MY HEART ON VAL’S DAY –CHANTEL IGWE

Published

Nollywood actress, Chantel Igwe

Nollywood actress, Chantel Igwe has recalled her most embarrassing Valentine’s Day and how her lover broke her heart.

According to the leggy, light skinned actress, the memory of what transpired that day will remain evergreen in her memory.

She told Saturday Sun: “When I was in my third year in school, I had a boyfriend but who was in a different school. So, on Valentine’s Day, he invited me over to his place. His friends and family members knew we were dating. He sent money and everything I needed to come around and I went. I was in his house chilling when a lady walked in and asked to see him in private. He went outside with her to have a conversation. Later, he came back and told me he’s helping to write exam for the lady’s brother.”

Igwe continued, “That same evening, we decided to hang out only to meet the same lady when we got back home. Again, they both stepped aside to have a discussion, and he gave the same excuse. Well, I stayed for a few days in his house and decided to go back to school.

“On my way back home, I discovered I forgot something and had to head back to his house. Right there, I met him with the same lady in a very compromising position. I confronted him and he said the lady has been throwing herself at him. Things get me easily irritated, so I just dumped him despite his pleas. I can’t forget that day.”

Chantel Igwe, who last week lost her dear mother, listed what she would be remembered for. “I feel sad, so sad that she left so soon. There are lots of things I would remember my mother for. She’s so strong, stronger than most men. She’s hard working, she engaged in different types of businesses to make sure her family survived.”
