Popular Nigerian actress, Osas Ajibade Ighodaro, has expressed worry
over comments that her husband and fellow actor, Gbenro Ajibade, married
her for selfish reasons.
The model-cum-actress and her husband featured in the popular soap opera, Tinsel.
Ighodaro, who was born in the United States, debunked rumours that
Ajibade married her so as to obtain a green card permit. She insisted
her husband was different from what people thought of him.
In a chat with Genevieve magazine, the mother-of-one said, "Being in
the limelight, I hear different things and I wouldn't be human if some
of them didn't get to me; especially the comments people made about how
he is only with me because he wants a green card.
"That was very hurtful because people don't understand the love we
have for each other. Everybody likes a good life. Who no like better
tin? If he is able to get a green card for being with me, then that is a
blessing but for people to assume that that is the only reason he is
with me is very hurtful.
"Gbenro has had different opportunities in his life and he could have
made that 'green card' happen a long time ago. He always tells me that
he had never envisioned himself being in love and in a relationship
until he met me. He thought he might just end up having a baby mama.
"I didn't ask him to marry me. He asked me to take this journey with him. People can talk all they want," she added.
Speaking further on why she kept her pregnancy a secret from the
social media before delivery, the actress said, "This is my first child
and I do not want people's opinions or judgment at this time. I have
friends in the industry who were judged heavily when they were pregnant
and it is not easy.
"I want to take back that power from the public and enjoy my
pregnancy with all its challenges. Unfortunately I am aware that this is
the industry we signed up for and people will always judge.
"Let's be real, there are bad belle people out there so to protect
this blessing we chose to enjoy the moment privately," she stated
