Famous Nigerian actress, Etinosa Idemudia, has explained why she got addicted to taking hard drugs during her first marriage.
Idemudia made this explanation in a chat with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
While explaining that she took to hard drugs as a way of escaping from her estranged husband’s abuses, Nollywood actress said she got married at 22 and suffered brutal domestic violence from her ex-husband to the point where she almost lost her life.
On how she was terrified of her ex-husband, the Edo-born actress said, “It (the demostic violence) got to a point where I was on drugs. Whenever he (my ex-husband) is coming home, normally as a woman you should be happy that your husband is coming home but I would just starched up and doped up so that no matter what he says, no matter what he’s doing, I’m just looking at him. Just so that there would be peace.”
The skit-maker stated further that she eventually left the marriage after her ceaseless praying and fasting didn’t change her husband.
She said, “I was green, I no know anything. I was a mumu. I was 22 when I got married. My ex-husband told me that ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your lord.”
