Yoruba Nollywood star Ronke Odusanya has opened up about the role a friend played in the breakdown of her marriage to Saheed Olarewaju, also known as Jago. In an interview with fellow actress Bimpe Akintunde, Ronke explained that her friend had spread damaging rumors, alleging that she intended to leave her husband and pursue prostitution.
Ronke shared that her friend went as far as accusing her of being involved with a senator, even claiming she had spent the night at the senator’s house with their daughter, Fife. These accusations, she said, caused serious tension in her marriage and contributed to its ultimate collapse.
“When it happened and got out of control, my partner later realized he shouldn’t have believed the things he heard,” Ronke said. “A friend told him I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. She even claimed I was with a senator that night with Fife. When he told me, I was in shock.”
Ronke revealed that at the time of the breakup, she was struggling financially, with only N10,000 in her account. She explained that much of her jewelry and other personal belongings were lost during this period, leaving her in a difficult situation.
Reflecting on the experience, Ronke admitted that it was a painful period. She credited her strength and resilience in moving forward despite the emotional and financial toll of the experience.
