Steph Nora Okereke Speaks On Failed Marriage, Relationship With Jim & Why She Might Forever Remain Single

    Well behaved and pretty actress
    Steph Nora Okereke in a new interview (though she hardly grants one) has
    explained why she broke up with her husband who married her and left the
    country only to return after a year and half, how the marriage couldn’t work,
    how she loved and dated Jim Iyke and the agreement between them now, most
    importantly how it has been difficult knowing the true man that loves her, and
    how she can remain a single woman for the rest of her life if no true love
    comes her way. Afterall my Bible does not tell me I won’t make it to heaven, if
    I am a single woman, she said.  Quite an
    interesting read. Enjoy!

    You joined the industry as a spinster. Would you say this
    affected your love life?
    I joined the industry when I was 21 and a graduate. Perhaps
    it did but I didn’t just notice. It’s possible a suitor was somewhere eying me
    but didn’t show up because of my profession. I was too engrossed in my career
    that I didn’t encounter one but there would have been someone like
    that.
    After separating from Jim Iyke, you said you still loved
    him. Is it still the same till date?
    (smiles) Is it possible to live my life away from Jim Iyke?
    He wasn’t the first person I dated in life.
    (cuts in) The first in Nollywood?
    So what? I want to be mute regarding this issue. He has
    never talked about me anywhere. We have an understanding and I don’t want to break
    it again.
    Do you still have crush on him?
    I don’t hate him.
    Your marriage to Lanre Falana did not last. Why?
    I was never married but I was involved in a marriage process
    which got truncated along the line. Marriage begins with  paying the woman’s dowry,  traditional and white wedding. All these did
    not take place. My family didn’t support marrying a man who kept one woman in
    one place and plans keeping another one in another place. I  attend Catholic church and the  marriage process in Catholic, begins with the
    intended couples tendering a marriage certificate issued by a court to the
    church. This was the main reason we were in court in the first place.
    Was it cultural differences that led to the break up?
    Not at all. It was based on personal conduct and
    irreconcilable differences . We were not living together. We had the court
    marriage in July and he went abroad September. Only for him to come back like a
    year and half later.
    You said in an interview that you had no regret about your
    ‘’truncated marriage process.’’
    That is because I am not a party to pretense. That marriage
    would have made me a sad woman. I have learnt not to judge a book by its cover.
    Any plans of marrying again?
    It has not been easy. You hardly can differentiate between a
    man who truly wants you as a woman because he feels for you , or one who wants
    to be seen with a known actress. Some men can go as far as taking a bet over
    you because you are a known actress. But when a good man comes around, I will
    settle with him. However, my Bible has not told me I can not make heaven as a
    single woman.
    Do you feel lonely as a single woman?

    How? Because I am not married? Why should I feel lonely? I
    have my family. I have brothers, sisters, friends and neighbours.
