how hurt she was to hear people say that Gbenro
Ajibade married her because of her U.S
citizenship.
In an exclusive interview with Genevieve magazine
in its latest edition, popular Nollywood actress,
Osas Ighodaro, who came to limelight from TV
series, Tinsel, has addressed some viral reports
which alleged that her husband and co-star, Gbenro
Ajibade married her because of her U.S citizenship
known as 'Green Card'.
Below are what she said on the rumours and her
love affair with her husband.
"Being in the limelight, I hear different things and I
wouldn’t be human if some of them didn’t get to
me; especially the comments people made about
how he is only with me because he wants a green
card. That was very hurtful because people don’t
understand the love we have for each other.
"Everybody likes a good life. Who no like better
tin? If he is able to get a green card for being with
me, then that is a blessing but for people to
assume that that is the only reason he is with me
is very hurtful.
"Gbenro has had different opportunities in his life
and he could have made that [a green card] happen
a long time ago. He always tells me that he had
never envisioned himself being in love and in a
relationship until he met me. He thought he might
just end up having a baby mama. I didn’t ask him
to marry me. He asked me to take this journey with
him. People can talk all they want.
"Why is it so unbelievable that both of us could be
genuinely in love? Is it because it’s not normal for
people to actually to be in love with no fringes?
Love conquers all but in our generation people are
after what they can get and they do it unashamedly.
"I am not here to judge anyone but I have grown up
knowing that I want to be happy. I have grown up
seeing broken marriages and I said to myself that
that is never going to be me. Happiness has been
the leading way for me in everything that I do. Of
course I want the best things in life but I am not
substituting my happiness for any of that! Our
foundation was friendship and that is the basis of
our marriage."
