According to Global News
magazine; in a typical African society like ours, there are certain norms and
behaviour expected of married women, and there are those looked upon as taboos
especially when the women are not in company of their husbands. It is therefore
surprising that more than three years after she tied the knot, Ini Edo
Ehiagwina is still of the belief that she is still that explosive single lady.
These days, Ini Edo has been
caught behaving more irresponsibly than when she was still a spinster. The
plump dark-skinned actress who got married to Philip Ehiagwina, a US-based
Nigerian divorcee has not come to terms three years into her marriage that
she’s actually married, as she has at several times be sighted very odd hours
at clubs in drunken state.
The Calabar-born actress had
reduced her club life to the barest minimum immediately she got married, but
her recent appearance at clubs is raising suspicions that all may not be too
well with her marriage. She was sighted at Club 10, Victoria Island in Lagos on
the March 28, around 1a.m. and the state she was found in was not befitting a
married woman. Sporting a black mini gown with white collar, Ini Edo arrived at
the club dead drunk; she was in such a drunken state that she could not stand
upright and could only stagger to her seat.
Those around could not help but
comment that the Nollywood actress might have just rediscovered her appetite
for booze as she would not leave until she had soaked herself in alcohol. They
were wondering aloud as to the reason she decided to plunge herself back into a
habit she worked so hard to get out of initially. It is not new that Ini Edo
was a club and booze freak while she was single, but in her bid to launch
herself into the married class, she had put a stop to the kind of life she was
known for as a spinster and the return to the lifestyle may mean the rumour
that all is not well with the marriage may after all not be unfounded.
Philip her husband who is based
in the United States of America, has of late not been regular in the country
and this may be adding strain to the union, with Ini Edo knowing fully well her
husband’s prowess with women, a reason she had fought many ladies before and
after their wedding to stay off her man. It is no secret how she was able to
win the man from his first marriage to Ruth Okoro, how she had to fight a
female journalist she thought was getting too close to the man before the
marriage and how she warned several of her Nollywood friends to stay off her
man after the marriage proper. And his continuous stay in America may have
forced so many thoughts into her mind, which could be the reason she’s back to
her reckless self.
It was even alleged that her
inability to conceive after three years of marriage may also be mounting
pressure on her relationship as it is suspected that the husband’s family has
started raising eyebrows. Ini Edo and Philip tied the nuptial knots in 2009 in
the United States of America after their traditional marriage in 2008. Her
failure to have an issue was initially said to be due to Ini Edo’s work and the
husband residing abroad but three years down the line, tongues have started
wagging and this may be having its own effect on the actress.
