How I called off my wedding 2days prior, despite being pregnant – Ngozi Nwosu

• Ngozi Nwosu has disclosed that she called off her wedding two days prior her big day.
• The veteran actress also opened up on her dealbreaker, affirming that infidelity is not one of them.
• Speaking with her junior colleague, Biola Bayo, Nwosu shared how and why she jilted her ex fiancé.

Nollywood veteran, Ngozi Nwosu has revealed that she called off her wedding just two days before the ceremony.

Featuring on the ‘Talk To B’ podcast hosted by Biola Bayo, Nwosu explained that her decision was due to the abusive behaviour of her fiancé.

She emphasised that while infidelity might be forgivable for her, physical abuse is a non-negotiable reason to end a relationship.

Ngozi Nwosu recounted being physically assaulted by her ex-partner while she was pregnant, which led her to prioritise her safety and career. She said:

“For me, infidelity isn’t enough for you to let go of your man. But, if it’s battery, I advise any woman to, in fact, not take any of their property and run for your life because they will never stop. Once a man lifts his hand on you, he won’t stop.

“I called off my wedding two days before because that day, he gave me the beating of my life. I was pregnant then, and I was like, is this what I’m entering? Because he has never done it before.”

The 61-year-old actress admitted that at some point, she regretted her decision but later realised that it was the best for her.

On the same podcast, Ngozi Nwosu narrated how she was given a resounding slap over a role she played in a movie.

Ngozi Nwosu recounted the incident occurred at Lawanson bus stop when she was still struggling financially.

She said a man approached where she was standing, slapped her and called her names for a character’s actions in a film. He seemed to believe she was truly “wicked” and a “killer” due to her on-screen persona.

Ngozi Nwosu said she was left dazed and shocked, and the encounter made her more cautious and aware of her surroundings.
