People still talk about me and Regina, but I know the silence I chose was not weakness, it was strength, because peace is more important than pride and love does not always need to turn into hate.

I felt pain when I saw her move on, I felt the weight of dreams we once shared, but instead of anger I chose respect, because her joy still mattered even if it was not with me.

That heartbreak made me stronger, it pushed me to hustle, to build myself, and today my focus is on my son and his mother, not the past, because shining does not mean I never felt pain, it means I refused to let pain hold me down.

I got married in 2004 to Chikelue Iloenyosi, a former Super Eagles player, but four years later the marriage ended painfully when I found out he was still legally married to another woman in the United States. So in 2008 the court dissolved our marriage leaving me with a heavy heart that needed healing.

In 2009 I met Linus Idahosa at a social gathering, and from the start he was clear, intentional and made me feel safe. We became friends, we shared long talks and slowly that friendship grew into love that felt genuine and peaceful.

On my birthday he proposed at Jay Jay Okocha’s Club 10. I said yes with joy, and in April 2012 we married in Paris surrounded by family and close friends. Today, we are blessed with two beautiful sons, Maxwell and Wesley, and my heart is full of gratitude for this second chance at love.

I am grateful that pain did not stop me from believing in love again, because life always gives us another chance if we stay open and hopeful. My story is a reminder that even after brokenness you can still rise, heal and find true happiness.

I became an actress because I wanted freedom, I wanted to escape the pressure to marry early, so one day I packed a small bag and left home, my heart beating fast as the bus carried me far from Satellite Town into a new life I did not fully understand but deeply desired.

On that journey I saw people with cameras, I stepped down and that was how I met Kate Henshaw in 1996, they said she needed a friend in a movie and just like that I found myself on the set of Scars of Womanhood, beginning a career and a friendship with Kate that has remained strong to this day.

When I returned home two weeks later, my mother was angry and shouted that I would disgrace her, she swore her daughter could not be an actress and must marry, but I told her calmly that I did not want marriage then, and I stood my ground until I was ready to choose love on my own terms.

I have been married for many years and I feel blessed with a big family, with two lovely daughters and many sons who I guide with love, some already growing and shining in Nollywood while I also support their education because I believe they need both talent and learning to have a strong future.

I have always kept my private life quiet, because the world can be unkind, and when I shared my engagement people laughed at my ring, but I held on to what truly mattered which is the love and respect I share with my husband.

My husband loves his peace and prefers to stay away from the spotlight, and I fully respect that, because even though I am a celebrity, my family is not, and my greatest duty is to keep them safe, protected, and free from the noise of fame.

There was a time I earned only N10,000 as salary, life was so hard and I worked as a housemaid just to survive, every day felt heavy but I refused to give up, I kept showing up even when nothing seemed to change because I believed my story would not end there.

One day a friend noticed my hard work and told a movie producer about me, that was how I got my first role, I played the part of a housemaid and it came from my heart because I had lived that pain, when I was paid N100,000 for that scene I cried, I felt seen, I felt valued, I felt alive for the first time.

Now I always tell people to keep going no matter how hard it feels, believe in yourself because one day your story will change too, just like mine did.

I was born on August 12, 2004, in Okija, Anambra State. For a long time my height felt like a burden because I was the only short one in my family while my brother stood tall, but with time I learned that what made me different was also what made me special and unforgettable.

In 2019 I started acting with Uche Nancy, who even adopted me as her daughter, and from that moment my life began to change because people no longer saw my size as a weakness but as something that brought joy, laughter, and a unique style that stood out on screen.

I have been in movies like Heart of a Tiger and The Small Landlady, and whenever people celebrate me or compare me with legends like Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze, I feel grateful because I now know that what I once saw as my pain has truly become my power.

Call me old school, but I see marriage as one of the most powerful partnerships in life. Maybe even the most serious contract you will ever sign… with God Himself as the witness.

Watching my sister become Mrs Ajibade filled me with joy and tbh, made me reflect a lot. Marriage is a beautiful thing and I do not believe it is outdated. For me, it is still one of the most meaningful experiences life has to offer.

It should not be the only goal we chase, but with the right person it pulls you closer to your purpose. It is about building love, family and a legacy that lasts.

My dear, one big mistake people make is trying to hijack a love story that is not theirs, and it never works because you cannot enjoy what you did not build. If you did not sweat, sacrifice or give your time, then it is not your place to claim the beauty of another person’s labour.

Every strong relationship you see today was once filled with tears, struggles and little beginnings. The two people stood together, grew together, and built something genuine together. What looks shiny and easy now was once very hard.

If you want a relationship that lasts, stop looking at someone else’s foundation and start laying your own bricks with patience, understanding and honesty. That is how a genuine relationship is built.

People think that because I married a rich man, I no longer work or push myself, but the truth is I still fight every day for my dreams and for my own name, because I know I was made for more than just being someone’s wife.

I face many insults online, and people say hurtful things that are not true, but I have learned to protect my peace and not allow words to break me, because peace is more precious than noise.

What I hold close to my heart is that I can now help women who are broken and give more to those in need, and that chance to touch lives means more to me than the hate, because at the end it is not just about me, it is about the lives I can change.

When I was dating my husband, I learned that trust is something you must choose and build every day. There were times I saw women around him, some trying too hard because he is an actor, but instead of letting fear control me, I held on to the foundation we built, which was trust and understanding.

I knew the kind of man I was with, and I decided to believe in him, not in the distractions around us. That choice gave me peace, even when it would have been easy to doubt.

My dear, without trust there is only suspicion and drama, and love cannot survive in that kind of space. The peace and joy we have today came because we built our relationship on trust.

I was born on 21 November 1982 in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana. Growing up, I fell in love with the arts and later studied Fine Arts at the University of Ghana, a path that opened the doors to my acting career in Ghana and Nollywood. From my first roles I've always put my heart into every story I told, and along the way I was honoured with nominations and awards that remind me of the value of passion and persistence.

Beyond the screen, I am a wife and a mother to four beautiful daughters who are my greatest blessings and the reason I live with strength and purpose. My family is my safe place, my anchor, and my deepest joy, and I hold them close with love and gratitude.

I am thankful for the journey, for the love of my fans, and for every hand that lifted me when I felt weak. My story is still unfolding, but my heart is full of appreciation for the life I live today.

People laughed at me because of my size, and I carried that pain, but today that same small girl has become a name people know and respect. I come from Okija, Anambra State, and I know what it feels like to be underestimated and pushed aside.

When I joined Nollywood, many thought I would not last, but with the love of my adóptive mum, Uche Nancy, I kept moving. My breakthrough came with a funny skit that went viral, and from there doors began to open. Every role I play reminds me that talent has no height.

I may be 4’1, but my dreams are taller than any giant, and I am proof that confidence will always be stronger than mockery.
