traditional marriage rites between
Tchidi Chikere and I will be performed soon.
This was not the way we imagined or planned
it, but as they say, nobody has a crystal ball to tell where or who we end up
with. Life is a dice.
At the time the rumours of his
separation/divorce and me being involved was going on, I definitely was not in
that space where some story writers said I was. I was busy doing other things
with my life, other preoccupations, a relationship (I thought would lead to
marriage), and my acting career. Things happened, my relationship packed up and
we went our separate ways, I moved on.
Tchidi and I have always been
friends (As I am with other colleagues), We trade in the same career, but we
never crossed that line (we never dated), not to talk of me getting pregnant
for him ( I’m presently not pregnant as still being written) sometimes It’s
really tiring confirming or refuting some of these rumors. I know some naysayers would still believe
what they have made up their minds to believe and stick to; Truth is, I am not
making this statement for those set of people, neither am I making it to get
people on my side. This statement goes out to those who love me and truly care
about me and the way I live my life, and to my very reliable and supportive
fans who have been asking questions and deserve to know the truth.
In the past two years, Tchidi and
I worked more, we got closer and more friendly, we were both single and I began
to understand and see the real him. Needless to say that I also began to really
, really like this real person I was getting to know more and more with every
passing day. Then it happened, our hearts clicked. Well, maybe the flying
rumours contributed to this and made me look more his way, or it could have
been part of life we have no control over.
Suffice this to say, he proposed
to me a while ago and after very careful thought and consideration on every
side I said yes. Would I say no because of what people would say and damn where
my heart led me? Just like Bill Cosby said, ‘the key to failure is trying to
please everybody’. I chose not to take that route, instead follow my heart.
My heart is remarkably at peace with
this decision, and I am willing to take this leap of faith which every married
woman has taken. Where this love will lead me I cannot say, I am not God, but,
I have hope, faith and believe that it will lead me to a good place. Every one
of us in this life deserves a chance to be happy. I am taking my own chance.
This is the only statement I am
making on this, any other one after this is not from me. I can’t help what
people say or write, but please be careful about what you listen to or read and
believe. For those who wish me the best, I wish the very best, for those who
don’t, I leave you to God who sees and knows all things. Thanks for reading''.
