Upon graduation, she proceeded to the University of Lagos, where she acquired a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Economics. While in high school, Bukky would join the drama group in all of the stage plays and drama they acted. She participated actively and took up excellently the minor roles she was given.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Started Acting Professionally At Age 29<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Following her graduation, the actress no longer found the course she studied interesting and decided to go into acting full-time. This, we believe, was due to her passion for acting right from a young age. So, she joined the Nollywood industry in 1996. She first started with a minor role in her first movies, and the directors of the movies were highly impressed by her performance and subsequently started giving her major roles.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, actress Bukky has remained active and relevant in the movie industry. She was once featured in Wale Adenuga&#8217;s TV series, Super Story, which won the best television series at the Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards in 2016. Bukky is very imaginative and skillful and has utilized her talents to interpret several movie roles and fit into any character given to her.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKdNpX4hJ44\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

She began her political career in 2014 when she contested to represent Ogun State in the Federal House of Representatives under the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Sadly, she did not emerge the winner but was proud of herself for attempting. She lost the election to Joseph Sopade, the former aide of the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun.<\/p>\n<p>During the campaign for the election, Bukky was mixed up in a controversy after her opponent accused her of not being the mother of her two sons, Eniola and Gbenga. However, she debunked this accusation, saying it was only an attempt to stop her political campaign. Her participation in the election undoubtedly contributed to her popularity and success at large. She mentioned that politics is a thing of interest to her and gives her fulfillment.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Actress is Currently in Her Fifth Marriage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67987\" style=\"width: 784px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-67987\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Adewale-Onitiri.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"784\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Adewale-Onitiri.png 784w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Adewale-Onitiri-260x150.png 260w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Adewale-Onitiri-696x400.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thingstoknow.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Adewale-Onitiri.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Given the scandals and rumors that live in the entertainment industry, most celebrities today prefer to keep sealed lips on their private lives, especially regarding love and relationships. Bukky Wright and US-based business mogul Adewale Onitiri got married in a private wedding ceremony in 2011. Currently, her fifth marriage, the wedding, whose attendance was strictly by invitation, was held in New Jersey, USA.<\/p>\n<p>However, the couple automatically became quiet and secretive about their marriage just two years into their marriage. Rumors started peddling that the actress has gotten a new lover and has returned from the USA to Nigeria to focus on her acting career. As it stands now, there is no reliable information about Bukky&#8217;s marriage to Adewale, whether they are still married or officially divorced.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Look At Bukky Wright&#8217;s Marriage History To Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The beautiful Nollywood actress has loved many times, but it seems she is not lucky in that aspect. She has been married five times, and through her marriages, she is a mother to two children, sons named Eniola and Gbenga. Let&#8217;s look at the men she has married below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gboyega Amu:<\/strong> This was Bukky&#8217;s first husband, and while details about their union are not available in the public space, it is noteworthy that the marriage produced the two children she has now, Eniola and Gbenga.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotimi Makinde:<\/strong> Rotimi was Bukky&#8217;s second husband and is now a Federal House of Representatives member. Nothing much is known about their union, including when how it started and ended.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Femi Davies:<\/strong> Bukky&#8217;s third husband, Femi, is a popular Nigerian journalist. Like her other marriages, information about her union with Femi is nowhere to be found.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bolaija Saheed:<\/strong> After her failed marriage with Femi, Bukky married a music promoter, Bolaija. Like her third marriage, this didn&#8217;t last long before they went their separate ways.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adewale Onitiri:<\/strong> This is her fifth husband, and there are rumors that the marriage has already crashed, yet there is no concrete nor official info on that account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are no details on the public arena to know the reasons behind the actress&#8217;s reoccurring marriage crash actually. However, Femi Davies released a video in 2019, where he revealed why his marriage with the actress didn&#8217;t work out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe  id=\"_ytid_37750\"  width=\"850\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"850\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ig-GZPbF-SQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bukky Wright (Full Name: Oluwabukola Sekinat Ajoke Wright, born 31st March 1967) is a -year-old Nigerian actress and businesswoman who became famous for her role in the popular Yoruba movie, Iyore.
