A lot Nigerian celebrities have been involved in second wife saga, Nollywood actresses to be precise and they were dubbed “husband snatchers” and other pejorative words by the public.
The number of Nollywood actresses embroiled in scandals as a result of marital decisions has recently increased, this is due to the fact that they always trend for the wrong reasons most especially when it revolves around another woman’s husband.
Of recent, two Nollywood actresses have been in the public eyes for their ‘husband snatching’ saga.
In this list I will be giving you 6 Nollywood actresses who got married as second wives and it didn’t go well so keep scrolling.
Judy Austin
Actress Judy Austin came to the public eye after she had a son for co star, Yul Edochie who was already married with four kids; a girl and 3 boys.
As expected, the public dragged her for being a homewrecker but the actress is quite unbothered about the public’s opinion.
Mercy Aigbe
On Tuesday, January 25, 2022, Mercy Aigbe made her new spouse, Kazim Adeoti, public. They allegedly married in secret in December of last year, according to rumors.
In the post which Mercy Aigbe made she referred to herself as Hajia Minnah.
Kazim Adeoti is still legally married to Funsho Adeoti, with whom he has three children, therefore their union has sparked a lot of controversy.
Funsho Adeoti who had threatened the actress to take down the pictures she took in the house which she claims belong to her got no reply from the actress instead she took more pictures in the house.
Nuella Njubiogo
On March 29, 2014, Nuella Njubiogo married Tchidi Chikere, a film director who had previously been married to actress Sophia Chikere for six years and had three children in her family property in Anambra State.
The people did not approve of Nuella Njubiogo’s connection with Tchidi.
Nuella has been labeled as a home wrecker by many.
Ini Edo
Phillips Ehiagwina, her American-based husband, proposed to her in 2008. After a year, a ‘Ruth Okoro’ emerged, claiming to be Phillips’ wife (as at that time).
Rith wrote an open letter to the actress at the time, warning her to leave her husband alone.
Ini Edo and Philip maintained their love affair, however the pair divorced in 2014. Fortunately for actress Ini Edo, her marriage to Phillip resulted in no children.
Ini Edo has stayed put since then, but she is now a mother through surrogacy.
Mercy Johnson
Mercy Johnson married Prince Odianosen Okojie in 2011, and the couple has four children. Mrs. Lovely Okojie, Prince’s estranged wife, wrote an open letter to Mercy Johnson in 2011 pleading with her to release her husband and find a single guy to marry.
Mercy Johnson was in Europe at the time, planning her wedding to Prince Okojie. Lovely Okojie alleged that Prince Odi Okojie is the biological father of her two children and that he was still legally married to her at the time.
