I Regret Not Fighting For My Marriage, After My Husband Got a Second Wife— Rachael Oniga
Veteran Nollywood actress, Rachael Oniga, recently had a chat with Olusola
Ricketts of Punch ng, about her failed marriage. On how she coped as a
single mother of three, she said: “My first born, Olamide, was four years
old when I left my marriage.
I had to put them all in boarding schools. That is one of the most painful
things I have had to do. Whenever I talk about this, it always brings me
close to tears. My children paid the price for something they knew nothing
about.
The factor (her late husband married another woman) that led to the end of
my marriage made me determined to prove to him (ex-husband) that I could
stand without any man.
I saw myself as equal to any man, regardless of how much money he might
have. I didn’t want any man to treat my children badly. I was working for my
money and I put my kids in good schools. So, what do I need a man for?
I felt all men just wanted was to see the beauty of a woman and walk away.
With what my ex-husband did to me, you expect me to trust men again? Before
we got separated, he was a good and ideal man.
But he married another woman and I moved on. But I miss the whole union
thing, friendship and sharing things together. My advice to young ladies is
to keep and fight for their marriages.
Perhaps, I was naïve; I never fought for what was mine, but I still thank
God. He made many failed attempts at reconciliation. He knew the type of
person I am; that when I say no, it is no.
Before death took him (ex-husband) away, he called many times. It was my
mistake. I should have fought for my marriage. Any young lady must try her
best and fight for her marriage. My decision at that time might not have
been the best, but I still thank God. I have my regrets too as a human
being.”
