Bukky Wright, veteran Nollywood actress has shared her thoughts on love, remarriage, and her future with a potential partner.
In a recent interview with the BBC, the Yoruba movie icon revealed that she is open to giving marriage another chance, but only if it aligns with God’s will.
“I’m open to remarrying if I find the right man,” she said. “But if God forbids it, I won’t go against His will.”
Using figurative language to express her stance, Bukky added, “If God has destined a man to live up to the age of six, I won’t wait until he is five and a half. If God says someone is meant to reach the top of a mountain, he won’t stop halfway.”
She further clarified that while she personally likes the idea of marriage, it’s not something she pushes on others. “Marriage is something I like, but only if God approves of it. I don’t advise every woman to go into it just because I like it.”
Controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has urged married men to learn from the recent controversies that trailed legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, better known as Tuface, since his publicised divorce from ex wife, Annie Macaulay.
The actor’s advice to married men comes in the wake of a now-viral video which showed the moment 2Baba’s new wife, Natasha Osawaru, gifted her mother a brand-new car on her 60th birthday.
However, what caught the attention of many social media users was not the luxurious gift, but the singer’s seemingly awkward presence at the event.
Natasha Osawaru’s mother, who seemed to be moved to tears by her daughter’s kind gesture, did not acknowledge the singer who stood happily to present the car to her.
While some netizens alleged that the singer co-gifted his mother-in-law with Natasha, others speculate that it was solely the lawmaker’s gesture.
Reacting, Maduagwu via his Instagram page on Tuesday, advised married men to stay with their wives and make it work. He added that men should learn not to look outside, stating that ‘there is nothing outside that is better than their marriage’.
The actor also alleged that 2Baba is currently stuck and unhappy with his current situation, adding that he can’t return to his wife, Annie.
In his words: “My brothers nothing dey outside, when Annie was with 2Baba, he was happy but now, he’s not happy. I will not urge you guys to pray for him because na as you lay your bed you go lay on top. Look at how he was treated. This should be a lesson for all you marriied men. Married men should learn from 2Baba and know that there’s nothing outside.”

In her words: “Last night, I was reminded of one of the hardest things about being a mom: you still have to discipline your child and be strict, even when it breaks your heart. I’m a very, very strict mother. Everyone knows this.“
“But last night, I went off on him. And this is why he melts my heart so much…I woke up and saw that he had quietly come to sleep next to me. I had slept on the couch, and he still came to lie beside me, my baby. I was shouting earlier… ahhh. Yet he still came close, seeking comfort. Being a mother is tough. But it’s also the best feeling in the world”.
