Ngozi Ezeonu married off my daughter without my consent – Ex-Hubby laments

Published on

Ex-husband of Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu has made some shocking revelations about his former wife.

According to Edwin Ezeonu, his ex-wife gave out his daughter in marriage without his consent which is a taboo in Igbo culture.

“I’m a real son of the soil in Igboland and I am knowledgeable enough about Igbo traditional marriage,” Edwin lamented during an interview with The Sun. “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!” 

In the same interview, he disclosed how the popular actress left the house without any prior notice. Moreover, he revealed that he was still the one paying for the children’s upkeep and school fees even after she left.

“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,” he continued.

“I gave Ngozi all the supports and encouragements 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 wellbeing of the children. Even after they left, I still catered for my kids: school fees, foodstuff and all,” Edwin Ezeonu added.

Furthermore, he expressed his devastation at the fact that he wasn’t present for his daughter’s wedding.

I’m devastated that my only daughter would do this to me. Ngozi should also desist from using my surname. We are divorced.”
