Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has admitted that she would still be married today if she had a better grasp of life then than she does now.

The actress stated she left her marriage because she was young and didn't have a better idea of how life worked.

Iyabo Ojo also admitted that she was never born impoverished.

Speaking in an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, Iyabo said: “I was young at the time. If I was this age, a lot of the decisions, I took i probably would not have taken them. Because now I’m wiser and have a better understanding of life.

“Now, I am more exposed and enlightened. But then, I was coming from a place where I was already damaged as a child. You know when you come from a very wealthy home but you still have to raise yourself? Things like that.

“I didn’t grow living with my mum and dad. I was living with my dad, my grandmother, and his brothers. My grandmother was my mum to me. My dad was not like a dad; he was like a brother and friend. He was like an uncle because he enjoyed life too much and didn’t have time to pay attention to me.”
