Edwin Ezeonu, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress Ngozi
Ezeonu has accused her of marrying off their daughter without his consent.
He also warned the actress to stop using his name since they
are now divorced.
Edwin in an interview with The Sun accused his ex-wife of
trampling on his right and honour as a man, describing his daughter’s
traditional wedding in Delta State as an abomination as he was kept in the dark
throughout the whole process.
The aggrieved ex-husband of the Nollywood actress said; “I’m
a real son of the soil in Igboland, and I am knowledgeable enough about Igbo
traditional marriage.
“In Anambra State where I come from, a woman does not and
has no right whatsoever to give out a fellow woman’s hand in marriage. It is
abomination and taboo. As such, Ngozi Denis Ikpelue has no legitimate right and
authority to give out my daughter, Ogechukwu’s hand in marriage. As long as I
am concerned and also the entire family of Ezeonu and his kindred are concerned,
Ogechukwu is not married.
“What happened in Asaba, Delta State on February 15, 2020
was a movie shoot!” he added.
Recalling how his marriage to Ngozi Ezeonu crashed in 2013,
Edwin said; “I came back home one day from work and met an empty house, without
any prior notice. As I got home that fateful day, my landlady told me that
Ngozi had packed out of the house, taking the children along with her.
“Few weeks before that, I had insinuated that she was
putting up a new apartment. I summoned her and warned her against dividing the
family. But she never listened.
“I gave Ngozi all the supports and encouragement she needed
to boost her career as a seasoned actress, yet she never valued all my efforts.
She also never contributed a dime to the upkeep of the house and well being of
the children.
Even after they left, I still catered for my kids: school
fees, foodstuff and all. I’m devastated that my only daughter would do this to
me. Ngozi should also desist from using my surname. We are divorced,” he said.

For the fact that your only daughter went along with the marriage plan without consulting you confirmed that you are a jerk and an unworthy father to her
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily.
DeleteYou knew all these and loved your people's culture and tradition so much yet went ahead to marry outside your people. It is because of this that most people marry within their people. However, I hope you people were actually married not this city stuff. If you were married to her,you were the architect of your problems in the first place.
