Why I never considered remarrying after my late abusive husband passed – Nollywood actress

The seasoned actress Morenike Alausa, well known by her stage name Mama Ereko, has talked about some of the difficulties she encountered in her marriage.

The actress admitted to marrying a man who was emotionally abusive and having to put up with his adultery.

Despite her presence, Mama Ereko disclosed in an interview with Talk2dunnis TV that her husband would bring his women home.

In addition, she remembered being dispatched on errands to make room for her husband’s mistresses, who frequently stayed overnight at their house.

Mama Ereko made it known that while she felt angry, she was too afraid to confront her husband, fearing his reaction. In her words:

“Sometimes my husband would send me on an errand because his girlfriend wanted to pay him a visit in our house.

“My husband brought home his girlfriend, and she would sleep in our home.

“I usually get angry, but I cannot challenge my husband because I was always afraid of him.”

After his passing, Mama Ereko, who did not remarry shared her reason.

She disclosed that she chose not to remarry to maintain her youthful looks and avoid the stress that comes with marriage.

According to her, the physical and emotional demands of marriage can accelerate aging in women. She stated:

“If I had remarried, you wouldn’t be praising me for still looking elegant and beautiful at my age. I didn’t remarry because the stress of having intercourse makes you look older than your age”.

Mama Ereko also emphasised her newfound independence, saying she no longer needs a man in her life. She added:

“I’m already a man, so I don’t need a man again because I don’t even remember how it feels to have intercourse with a man.”
