Ini Edo, a 41-year-old prominent Nollywood actress, says she is unmarried because she is still looking for a partner who truly loves her.
Ini Edo was married to businessman Philip Ehiagwina from 2008 until 2014, but the marriage was short-lived.
Edo stated that she want someone who would treat her with respect and kindness in an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa during a recent episode of her show Tokemoment.
“I am single because I just want somebody that will really love me. I can’t be in a toxic relationship if you can’t give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you. I cannot be with a man that I don’t respect.
“If you can’t earn my respect then we cannot be together. What’s the point? If you get to a point where the man starts to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you, I begin to disrespect you. Even if you don’t have, it is about how you are able to manage the situation and the people around you: kindness.”
