Popular Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia tearfully recounts the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband.
The screen diva opened up on her traumatizing past marriage while speaking in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Etinosa Idemudia revealed that she got married at the age of 22 with no idea about what she was getting herself involved in.
Etinosa said, “I was green, I no know anything. I was a mumu. I was 22 when I got married. My husband told me that ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your lord’.
“His [my ex-husband’s] uncle called me when I was in the clinic. I was receiving treatment because the night before, they tied me up. I went through a lot the night before. So, I just said this is the end before I will die. I fasted. Ulcer nearly killed me. Fasting, praying.
See all those CIA films wey they go put person head inside bowl of water and torture you because they want to hear the truth whether you are cheating or not?”

“Wetin dey break person bone? Wetin dey carry person go hospital wey dem put oxygen for your nose?
“As tall as you are now, he [my ex-husband] is very… I don’t like short men. I like big people, I want to feel protected [laughs]. So, that kind one blow like this. If he slaps sef, shu!”
