Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola Reveals Why She Blocked Her Colleagues After Marriage

Veteran Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has revealed why she distanced herself from the movie industry after getting married.

In a recent interview with Oyinmomo TV, Opeyemi revealed that she deliberately cut ties with her colleagues in Nollywood for over a decade after relocating to the U.S. with her husband, Olayiwola Abdulwakilu.

The mother of two explained that the move was a personal decision aimed at protecting her marriage and avoiding the pattern of failed relationships often seen in the entertainment industry.

She said, “I was off the scene for more than ten years, and I apologised to my fans. I held my marriage in high esteem, so I blocked everybody’s contact in the industry.

Let’s appreciate our lovers because they caused it. Some of them will say practitioners don’t have stable homes or lives, but they don’t know what happens behind those relationships. So, because I didn’t want my own to be like that, I blocked everyone from the industry for 10 years.”

Opeyemi Aiyeola revealed that she has returned to acting and is ready to focus on rebuilding her career.

“I unblocked everybody when I finally returned to focus on my career. I have two boys, and I have sacrificed everything for them. They should now allow me to also carve my own career,” she added.
