A fast-rising Nigerian actress who was the talk of town following her failed marriage has opened up on what really happened.
Actress, Temidayo Ekson
Nigerian actress and mother of four, Temidayo Ekson, has opened up
on the controversy that rocked her failed marriage. The actress while
speaking to Saturday Beats revealed that she is now struggling as the
separation with the husband had a huge impact on her.
She said, “From the outset, I have always wanted to get married
to a man I love with all my life. We got married and had kids but
marriage is not a bed of roses. I put in everything needed to make the
marriage work and I made up my mind to quit acting. Before I got
married, I was into modelling but I also quit the modelling gig because I
saw my estranged husband as a jealous person. It is just the grace of
God that kept me all through the period because I went through hell.
“I did not enjoy my marriage; I endured it instead. If I had
wanted to leave my marriage earlier or I had made up my mind not to live
under his roof, I would not have had four children for a man. I never
said I was tired or fed up about the marriage. Despite the challenges
and everything that came our way, I still stood by him because they say
behind every successful man is a woman. I put in everything needed to
make the marriage work, I stopped going for parties, I did not have
friends, I was a chorister in church but he withdrew me from the choir
and I agreed just to keep my home. I just wanted him to be happy at all
cost but he did not know my worth; neither did he appreciate me.
“I tried everything to make it work and God is my witness. I
wanted my marriage to be a testimony so that when people asked me, I
would tell them it was through perseverance but that was not my luck. In
2007, we had a clash and we separated for a while. That was when I met
my boss in the movie industry. When my husband came back, I had my last
born in 2009 but after then, things became so unbearable for me. He
sent me and my four children packing. It has not been easy but I thank
God. We did not part ways because of acting. If I wanted to, I would
have started acting from the minute we got married but I respected my
husband. When he left me, I felt it was an opportunity for me to go
ahead with my acting because it is something that I love to do.”
