From last year, 2013 to 2014, one of the thriving entertainment sectors in Nigeria, Nollywood has recorded not less than 15 failed marriages; most alarming are those that crashed almost the moment they were consummated, within 5 months! The most controversial of them was that of star actress Funke Akindele who got married to Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede despite warning from friends who saw the impending danger. The couple got married on May 26, 2012. Barely a year later, on Monday, July 15 2013, Kehinde announced on Facebook that their marriage was over.

After an initial denial on Wednesday July 17 2013, Funke confirmed the split on Friday July 19, 2013 through a message from her publicist. The duo have since moved on with their lives and Funke is reported to have found love again. Another controversial separation as that of actress, Chika Ike. She officially announced the end of her marriage on July 28, 2013 after several years of controversy rocking the marriage.

For star actress, Moji Olaiya, her marriage ended last year and that dealt her a big blow. Another crashed marriage that caused a stir was that of Nollywood actor Solomon Akiyesi. Another movie star was Juliet Mgborukwe, a former Sound city presenter, and model. In September 2011, Juliet met USA-based Chima Ojukwu and within a week, they were engaged. Less than three weeks after they met, Juliet and Chima had their introduction – on the 29th of September 2011, which was followed by a traditional wedding.

The white wedding was scheduled to take place months later in the US but it never held as the couple parted ways over irreconcilable differences. It will be recorded as one of the shortest Nollywood marriages so far. That of star actor Joseph Benjamin came as a rude shock as many didn’t even know he had been married for 10 years with two kids until trouble shook their homefront and the marriage collapsed.

One name that can’t be omitted in this write-up is that of top Nollywood movie producer Tchidi Tchikere and his ex- wife Sophia Tchikere.The marriage was one of the most celebrated in Nollywood until few years ago when the director-cum-producer met and fell in love with another actress Nuella Njubuigbo who he is now married to. For actress, Uche Iwuji and her ex-hubby their union packed up barely a year into their controversial marriage.

When award-winning director Jeta Amata from the popular Amata family also ended his marriage to his wife Mbong while in the United States, he disclosed why they were calling it quits unlike all the other failed marriages where no one made explanations. For Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo, hers was the most pathetic because it crashed before it was properly consummated.

The fair-skinned actress had a secret traditional marriage ceremony on Saturday, October 5, 2013 to a Norway-based ex-footballer Ato Abby. But it packed up 2 months after with the actress alleging she was deceived by her husband-to-be. Also is the crashed marriage between Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta and his wife, Salamatu Lafiaji, the daughter of former Kwara State governor, Senator Shaaba Lafiaji. The marriage of Ghana star actress, Juliet Ibrahim to Kwadwo Safo Junior also hit the rocks a few months ago with the latest being Nollywood diva, Ini Edo, who has now filed for a divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
