Iyabo Ojo, the 46 years old Yoruba Nollywood actress, got married to Mr. Ojo, a Lagos-based movie marketer (in 1998) at the age of 21 but not for love. A few years later, and with two children in the marriage (Festus Oladunjoye Ojo and Priscilla Ajoke Ojo), the then would-be Nollywood star called it quits in the union. Overwhelmed by sad emotions, Iyabo however, took solace in her children seeing that she had to work hard and make ends meet to carter for her family of 3. By so doing, she carved out a career as an actress and grew to become one of the industry’s most respected and popular names. But there’s more to Iyabo’s marital travails, triumphs, and the kids she brought into the world.<\/p>\n

The Begining Of Iyabo Ojo’s Short-Lived Marriage<\/b><\/h2>\n

In 1999, at the age of 21, Iyabo became pregnant for a Lagos-based movie marketer known as Mr. Ojo. The duo had dated for only 3 months before the pregnancy. It is alleged that Mr. Ojo was instrumental in her pursuing an acting career in Nollywood. Left with no other option at the time, Iyabo Ojo decided to marry the man responsible for her pregnancy. She did so, not because of love, but basically because she didn’t want to have children outside wedlock.<\/p>\n

Following their marriage, she gave birth to their son, Festus Oladunjoye Ojo. Iyabo was just fresh in the movie industry, filled with ambitions to build her career. Unfortunately, she had to halt her acting career to tend to her motherly duties. Two years later, another baby came, a girl named Priscilla Ajoke Ojo. This further placed a hold on her career, but knowing that more time at home can improve her children’s well-being, she had no option.<\/p>\n

Her Divorce And The Reason Behind That Decision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although blessed with two kids, Iyabo was unhappy in the marriage. She considered divorce several times and prayed to the Lord God Almighty to guide her on what to do. The thought of being labeled names as a divorcee led her to endure the travails in her marriage for some time. However, when she could no longer go on, she became firm that it was time to leave.<\/p>\n

The marriage finally crashed in 2001, leaving her with the task of catering for her children and working hard to build her career simultaneously. Depressed and lonely, the actress got strength from seeing her children laugh and play together. She attributed the divorce to her marrying early believing that had she waited for a little longer she would’ve made a different decision about her personal life. Thankfully, she has been able to make a name that rings bells in Nollywood. It seems life has its twists and turns, but it all works out fine should you remain strong and persevere.<\/p>\n
