Top Nigerian celebrities with crashed marriages

They were made in heaven or so it seemed and celebrated in the media. However, like the cookie, they crumbled, pitching those who once declared unwavering love for each other as sworn enemies.Today, Stardom takes a look at celebrity marriages that failed to fly in the entertainment industry.

Uche Osutule and Obi Osutule

They started dating at the dawn of Nollywod after they hooked up on the set of a top movie producer. Their relationship was celebrated in the media after they tied the knot in a colourful ceremony. Uche was the darling of the screen while Obi was a director. However, it came crashing like a pack of dominoes and both partners called it quits. Today, they have both remarried and the union bore no off springs.

Evi and Emma Ogoli

If Evi Edna was the vocal powerhouse, then, Emma Ogoli was the secret behind her success. He not only produced her, he also managed her. From managing her music, he soon began managing her heart and soon they both walked down the aisle. In the 1980s, Evi serenaded us with her hit songs, Ya Kpe Obaro and Happy Birthday, evergreen songs that established her as a household name. However, they failed to consolidate on the success of the union and they parted ways. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Evi has relocated to France while Emma has since relocated to the East.

Mandators

To this day, Victor Essiet still carries the cross of his wife’s death because many continue to blame him for the untimely death of Peggy Essiet.

Though they ruled our airwaves with their hit song, Tribulations, they couldn’t avert the tribulation that struck their marriage. After a successful second outing, the couple broke up and Victor relocated to the USA. Peggy had made a bold move to re-invent herself when she dropped an album in the early 1990s but the cold hands of death snatched her away, living behind their kids.

Saheed and Fathia Balogun

Saheed and Fathia Balogun were the poster couple of the industry. Saheed always took time out to tell the world how rock solid his union with Fatia was.

The actor/producer was said to have done all he could to save his marriage from going under because they already had two kids together.

However, it seemed that their differences were irreconcilable and the drifted apart. But last year, Fatia made attempts to be reunited with her husband unsuccessfully. She had even dedicated an award she won in the UK to him and enlisted top Yoruba actors, including the likes of Jide Kosoko to help plead her course. But to his day, Shed remains adamant, insisting that their union is buried in the graveyard of history.

Shan George and Mr. Nwosisi

When she hooked up with her second husband, she told the world it was for good. But her marriage to her foreign based husband, Mr. Nwosisi was shot-lived. Last year she told NFC that the reason she deserted her matrimonial home was because she was not ready for a servant/master relationship.

According to her, Nwosisi reduced her to a servant and so she had to quit. Meanwhile she has grown up kids from her first marriage that are based in the UK with her first husband. Word has it that she is currently dating a toy boy. Shan got married at the tender age of 16 and after bearing two kids walked out of the union because her husband would not send her to school.

Eucharia Anunobi and Mr. Ekwu

Her forte is acting bitchy roles in movies. The question now is, could that have affected her marriage? Was she bitchy to her husband?
Full-bodied actress, Eucharia Anunobi probably believed that she had found Mr. Right when she hooked up and married her knight in the shining amour, Mr. Ekwu.
