Former husband of veteran actress, Ngozi Ezeonu, who is apparently unhappy opens up on how, the actress allegedly emptied his house and absconded with his children.

Mr. Edwin Ezeonu is not lamenting about his marriage to Ngozi, which broke down irretrievably many years ago; rather he is infuriated and up in arms with his former wife for trampling on his right and honour as a man.

A few weeks ago, Ezeonu’s only daughter from Ngozi, Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu got married at a glamorous wedding ceremony held in Asaba, Delta State. But the father of the bride was missing in action.

He was kept in the dark and denied the right and joy of giving the hand of his only daughter out in marriage.

However, Inside Nollywood met with the aggrieved father and he maintained that as long as he is concerned, his daughter, Ogechukwu, is unmarried.

Ezeonu emphasised that being a native of Nnobi with his estranged wife, Ngozi hailing from Ogbunike, both in Anambra State, having his daughter’s traditional marriage in Delta State was an abomination and therefore a nullity.

“I’m a real son of the soil in Igboland and I am knowledgeable enough about Igbo traditional marriage. In Anambra State where I come from, a woman does not and has no right whatsoever to give out a fellow woman’s hand in marriage. It is abomination and taboo. As such, Ngozi Denis Ikpelue has no legitimate right and authority to give out my daughter, Ogechukwu’s hand in marriage. As long as I am concerned and also the entire family of Ezeonu and his kindred are concerned, Ogechukwu is not married. What happened in Asaba, Delta State on February 15, 2020 was a movie shoot!” he said, brimming with anger.

Ezeonu recalled how his marriage to Ngozi crashed back in 2013. Hear him: “I came back home one day from work and met an empty house, without any prior notice. As I got home that fateful day, my landlady told me that Ngozi had packed out of the house, taking the children along with her. Few weeks before that, I had insinuated that she was putting up a new apartment. I summoned her and warned her against dividing the family. But she never listened.

“I gave Ngozi all the supports and encouragements she needed to boost her career as a seasoned actress, yet she never valued all my efforts. She also never contributed a dime to the upkeep of the house and wellbeing of the children. Even after they left....

By igbo customs, the girl is not married. She must be handed over by her father or his assigned representative who must be a Male.
Am particularly disappointed with the groom and his family who though igbos, allowed a woman to manipulate them into jettisoning the right thing. Doesn't the groom have a father or men who could advise him. My own father would have insisted on meeting with the girl's father first.

By an adult customs, u are the one to decide whether u will marry someone..if u say yes,I agree to be yoked with this person then u go to court or church and sign a document.
I don't know what kind of hatred will allow me not to go to my father and show him my intended husband whether my mum likes it or not
I pray in the season of lent (i.e reconciliation) we wld look within ourselves and forgive people genuinely and foster peace with all men

Family palaver. I always knew this woman was mean even with her innocent looking face

Ngozi Ezeonu, have behaved like a hen that throws away the chicks.

Mad Okuko

Why some men dey marry actresses.. That I can never ever understand

SO Ngozi was married and ran away?

Once they start getting that attention from the fans, especially the opposite sex, they start seeing their husbands as a stumbling block.

Let's wait and hear Ngozi's side of the story before we condemning her.

Marrying an actress is very risky

Come o... this man, e never do? I understand you are hurt by your daughter's actions (yes, i blame the daughter). But just hold your peace. Sooner or later, she will come around.

All these deadbeat sperm donors.

Your child can only ignore u if she doesn't consider you a part of her life.

no matter how useless he is, he has a say okay

Mr Man,are you sure you are the biological father of the bride? Did you do DNA test to prove that she is your daughter? Na mama dey know who be the real father of her child/children. Maybe na Delta man she born am for?

The mumu groom doesn't know the gravity of what he has done.
He must not complain if the girl starts exhibiting the traits from her mother.
Often, girls whose mothers don't respect their husbands or who prefer the fast lane life, end up behaving like their mothers.
A wise man must look out for all these red flags before settling down with such girls.

Do you know that all you said here are based on assumptions and that's why you started with 'probably'. And yet, with an assumption which may be very wrong, you have called the man a dead beat sperm donor.
With an assumption from your own head, you have called the man useless.
My child, many of you are speaking from position of immaturity and childishness. In a few years of life, you will see life in a more introspective manner.

And how do you know that this man had failed in being a father? I dont think you guys should be quick in joining these new found feminists to demonize your fellow men without getting the real facts. Thats how a guy I know was made to believe that his fiancee's dad was a dead beat, no good father who wasnt there. She had turned over her kids away from their father and committed them to her siblings who were rich to train. The young man had to take the bold step during introduction to go see the man. Rather he met a very welcoming aged man who had been left to rot away in the village while the wife juncketted from one brother to another, because they are now rich. His only crime was that the wife's brothers became rich and it got into the wife's head, leaving a husband who trained her and the kids before his retirement.
If that my guy hadn't taken the maturity to seek out the man, he would have joined young kids like you to label a man for things he knew nothing about.
With age and experience, many of you will get to see life differently

Even if he is an epileptic slowpoke, he is still the man and according to custom has the right to give out hands in marriage.
This is why I always advise women to only marry men they will be proud of in public
