Movie star Toyosi Adesanya has shared the traumatic experiences she endured during her 15-year marriage.
Despite her stardom, Toyosi said she made significant sacrifices to save her marriage, including relocating from Lagos to Akure and traveling abroad at her own expense.
In an interview on the YouTube show Iriri Mi, Toyosi alleged that malicious forces infiltrated her marriage, leading to its eventual breakdown.
Toyosi’s colleague, Bimpe Akintunde, the host of the programme, corroborated some of the struggles Toyosi faced during her marriage, recalling visits where she saw Toyosi fetching water despite her celebrity status.
She emphasised that her life is important and that she prioritised it by leaving the marriage.
She said: “For someone like me, I’ve been in a marriage and people were asking me how I would cope with stardom. I left Lagos for Akure, which is a four-hour journey, but I was determined it wouldn’t affect my stardom. I made all that sacrifice in that marriage.
“I really put in an effort in my marriage. I was married for 15 years. I tried so much in my marriage that the elder in the industry knew I did. The person I married didn’t offend me, but he allowed the devil into the marriage. The house that I built with him, I left it for him because my life is important.
“When he left me to go abroad, I went to meet him there and even used my money to transport myself there because I wanted to make my marriage work.
“The man that I am currently with, I told him I am not going to get married because I will have one wedding in life because it was a court wedding.
“Bimpe Akintunde knew of my court wedding as she attended it in Akure. Anytime she came to visit, she would bring foodstuffs for me and encourage me to stay in the marriage. We were fetching water in the first house we acquired. She said I was now fetching water and I said God will perform miracles. I would be praying for my husband in the presence of my present husband.
“The senior actors I usually go to the prayer mountain with came to my house in Akure and told me that there were some items planted in some designated places in my home and prayed against my corpse being taken out of the house”.
