My first marriage was my first taste of poverty -Iyabo Ojo
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has stated that the first time she experienced poverty was when she got married to her ex-husband, Ademidum Ojo.
Ojo disclosed this in her interview with media personality T**e Makinwa while sharing her experience of being married to the father of her two children.
She said : "When I went to my husband's house for the first time, I didn't even known there were face-me-i -slap you apartments. Most times, I don't blame the rich when they don't understand the problems of the poor, because I never knew what poverty was all about.
"in my house, we had an industrial generator, once the light goes off in a few seconds, the light is up. My grandmother was one of the richest women in those days. I had a car to myself that took me to school and brought me back.
"the only time I experienced poverty was when I married my ex-husband initially, it was fun. It was like an adventure.
At 18 , had an account opened for me because my grandmother had done his will in such a way that money was being paid to grandchild's account. I had money, you can imagine that as of 1997/1998 , I had about N100,000 in my account.
