Nollywood actress Steph-Nora Okere has finally opened up on
her marital status. In an exclusive chat with City People, she revealed that she
is only married to Jesus.
“No, I was never
married. I am very single. The press got me married on papers
“A lot of people have been saying I was married, I was
married but we didn’t really get through our marriage. I think that is like in
the past, which is like 10 years ago. I really wish to forget about it.”
When
asked if she was once married to Lanre Falana, she said;
“I was never married but the press got me married as I said.
I was involved in a marriage process with Falana which got truncated along the
line.
“Marriage begins with paying the woman’s dowry, traditional
and white wedding. All these did not take place. My family didn’t support
marrying a man who kept one woman in one place and plans keeping another one in
another place. I attend Catholic Church and the marriage process in Catholic,
begins with the intended couples tendering a marriage certificate issued by a
court to the church.
“This was the main reason we were in court in the first
place.
“Our break-up was however based on personal conduct and
irreconcilable differences. We were not living together; we had an introduction
where his family and mine were introduced to each other only.
“This was the beginning of our problem. For us to discover
that we were not compatible. Our court marriage was in July and he went abroad
in September only for him to be back a year and half later.”
When
asked if she would still accept him if he comes begging on his knees, she said;
“Thank God that the marriage didn’t work out otherwise I
would have been an unhappy woman and I have learnt not to judge a book by its
cover.”
When
asked if she is hoping to get married soon, She responded saying;
“It has not been
easy. You hardly can differentiate between a man who truly wants you as a woman
because he feels for you, or one who wants to be seen with a known actress.
“Some men can go as far as taking a bet over you because you
are a known actress. But when a good man comes around, I will settle with him.
However, my Bible has not told me I cannot make heaven as a single woman.”
“I am married to Jesus,..the most important person in my
life now is Jesus.
“I hope to marry again when a good man comes but for now I
am married to Jesus.”
