Nollywood isn’t exactly a haven populated by
married women even though most of the
women are the most beautiful that can be
found anywhere in the country.
Most of the women are either single or
divorced and plenty more still searching.
Those that have been able to hold on to a
marriage have come to accept their lots of
being the second wife.
In a recent interview, Lola Alao must have
spoken the minds of many of them when
she cried out “where are the single guys?”
after being  asked why many of her
colleagues are going for other woman’s
man and even made bold to claim that
married men make better husbands.
Many of them who have toed this line have
had their lives embroiled in hot waters of
controversies, and yet survived while some
are not so lucky. Even there are cases of
those who rushed into the arms of the
other woman’s man  only to rush out. Here
are a few of them and their different tales of
woes and triumphs.
Caroline Ekanem-Danjuma
The story of Nollywood s*xy actress, Caroline
Ekanem-Dajunma is not hidden. She is a
one-time glamorous screen diva who later
became the second wife of billionaire Musa
Danjuma. Since then, Mrs. Danjuma who
gave up her career in acting for the
marriage has enjoyed all that money can buy
and good things of life. However, it appears
something is disturbing the actress. She
recently confessed on her Facebook page
that being the second best and being in
second place is not fun. It appears
something is actually missing here.
Liz Dasilva
There hasn’t been any concrete evidence
that this Togolese-Yoruba actress has
married her baby’s father who she bore a
bouncing baby boy some months ago. But
the fact that the actress went ahead to
convert from Christianity to Islam, changing
her name from Elizabeth to Aishat, in a bid
to please her supposed husband, Alhaji
Olaoye, is a sign that something more than
just mere man-woman relationship is in the
equation.
Alhaji Olaoye is said to have many other
wives and Liz or Aishat is just one of many
in his harem. But it appears Liz has no
qualms in marriage as she is reportedly
having a ball even if she has to accept her
fate of seeing Alhaji every now and then
Mercy Aigbe
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe is surely
having the fun of her life in her polygamous
marriage. She was nick-named a husband
snatcher by a fellow actress few months ago
when she got married to Bimbo Akinsanya‘s
husband, Lanre Gentry.
Ini Edo
In November 2008 she got married to Philip
Ehiagwina, a businessman.  Edo had a
second wedding in February 2009 in
America, in Houston, Texas, where her
husband is based. Their relationship had
been in the newspapers: not just because
Edo is one of those people that newspapers
like to write things about, true and untrue,
but also because Ehiagwina had already
been married, to Ruth Okoro, a Nigerian-
American model and actress. Okoro made
his leaving her for Edo ugly and public, both
of them saying terrible things about each
other.
Mosun Filani
Popular Yoruba Actress, Mosunmola Filani
secretly got married to Simeon Oduoye in
Ibadan not too long ago.
The light-skinned Yoruba actress, as we
were told by an industry source, was full of
surprise getting married to Simeon, who is
believed to be a woman’s guy.
Information gathered revealed that Mosun
secured the love of Simeon at the expense
of Yemisi, Simeon’s wife at the time.
Mosun, who once had hot romance with
Odunlade Adekola and Muyiwa Ademola,
was said to have hijacked Simeon to herself,
thereby making him pay less attention to his
wife, Yemisi, who has two kids for him.
Mosun has gone on to bear the man a baby
girl and their marriage seems to be in ship-
shape with no detectable cracks of any
discord.
Mercy Johnson
Most talented and sought after actress in
the  English sector of Nollywood, Mercy
Ozioma Johnson  got married to Prince
Odianosen Okojie,who is married to a
Canada-based lady named Lovely with two
kids, a boy and a girl.
The whole drama got messier, when Lovely
came out of the blues claiming that she is
the legally married wife of Prince Odianose,
who Mercy was planning to get married to
and that she can’t get abandoned like that
because she is still legally married to her
husband, Prince Okojie.
However from all indications Mercy seems to
be having a ball with her husband.
