People Should Respect My Stand On My Failed Marriage -Ibinabo Fiberesima
Nollywood star actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima, has appealed to people to respect her decision and feelings concerning the end of her two-year-old marriage to Uche Egbuka.
Reacting to a lengthy emotional outpour she made on social media Friday morning to commemorate her birthday, Ibinabo stated that rather than dwell on her failed marriage, people should thank God for her life and allow things to be.
“I think people should respect what I wrote. I prayed and thank God. I think people should thank God for me and just let things be. That’s all I can say. I am alive today and I think it’s a big deal for me that I have been through everything. Did you see the love on the Internet on my birthday? I was crying half the time. I would be reading some people’s message and I would break down. You wont even believe that the wardresses in prison called me to wish me happy birthday, I just broke down in tears. There is just so much love,” Ibinabo, former Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN president told our correspondent at a special birthday gig organised in her honour in Lagos.
Ibinabo and her childhood friend, Uche tied the knot at an elaborate ceremony in Rivers State in December 2014. But in the post on her Facebook timeline, dropped an hint that the marriage had packed up.
She wrote, “If I told you that I think of you everyday would you believe me? Yes You. All of you who have refused to leave my side even as the devil got restless with the storm in life. You who have shown how thick blood can be by being truly supportive FAMILY. Be it nuclear or extended.
“The last year in particular has severally presented survival as a questionable option. Giving me struggles that seemed impossible to deal with, fading my strength to keep going by the minute feeding my fears and insecurities with worries that come to steal joy.
“From the shock of a three-time presence of lumps in the breast to surgeries fighting for my life and the pain of a dissolution of a bond I hoped to keep with a life time partner and the re-emergence of singleness.
“From the tension of awaiting a judge’s pronouncement to the horror of walking into prison over a cross accidentally acquired and carried for so long.
