The prominent Nigerian television personality, actress, producer, philanthropist, businesswoman, and former model Chika Ike once was married to Tony Eberiri.
The marriage started in 2006 and ended in 2013. Why did they divorce?
In July 2013, Chika`s devotees found out all the information about their idol`s divorce. Before that, Ike told about abusive relationships, having been a sufferer of domestic violence. Therefore, she decided to say about how she was domestically abused in her past marriage.
Abuja High Court officially canceled the marriage after the famous Nollywood star made several charges against her husband. Moreover, the actress blamed Mr. Eberiri for their parting.
Mr. Eberiri, in his turn, asked his ex-wife to avoid publishing any personal information about their marriage in social networks. However, Chika Ike did not keep her word and shared all the info about the marriage in details.
After it, Chika`s ex-husband announced that only she was guilty on the marriage break-up and also did everything possible to demolish their holy union. Then the businesswoman indicted her ex-husband of beating her cruelly. As a result, the actress was unable to give birth to a child. Tony Eberiri was shocked by this fact calling it a very lie.
Sometime later, Chika named several critical reasons for their divorce. Let us find out.
First of all, the age gap was one of the chief factors of their partition. When they got married, the actress was only 21 years old.
Secondly, the lack of life experience resulted in numerous mistakes. She was young and could not avoid arguing all the time with her husband.
Thirdly, the couple did not have the same life principles. It also turned out that they were continually quarreling because of little things which really were of no importance. Therefore, their marriage failed to tolerate it.
Finally, Chika confessed that her husband did his best to change her as he wished. However, the Nollywood actress resisted all his attempts vigorously for which she was most probably beaten heavily. As a result, they could not stand each other any longer, because nobody likes brutal interference to her/his personality.
After the break-up, Chika Ike quickly found love again. However, presently she is not going to become a wife swiftly. She needs time to consider the pros and cons. But now the actress made up her mind to concentrate all her efforts on career only.
Chika Ike has already received some nominations and awards for her work. In particular, these are Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (2009) and Best Upcoming Actress (2008).
