I didn’t remarry because sex ages – Mama Ereko

• Mama Ereko has shared how fear clouded her judgment, confining her to her cheating spouse. 
• The actress said her late husband’s sexual escapades were not only done behind her back but also in her presence and their matrimonial home.
• Mama Ereko went on to share why she didn’t remarry after her husband died.

Veteran movie actress Morenike Alausa, popularly known as Mama Ereko has opened up on some of the challenges she faced in her marriage.

The actress confessed that she married an emotionally abusive man and was forced to bear with his infidelity. 

In an interview with Talk2dunnis TV, Mama Ereko revealed that her husband would bring his girlfriends home, even when she was present.

She also recalled being sent on errands to accommodate her husband’s mistresses, who would often spend the night in their home.

Mama Ereko made it known that while she felt angry, she was too afraid to confront her husband, fearing his reaction. In her words:

“Sometimes my husband would send me on an errand because his girlfriend wanted to pay him a visit in our house.

“My husband brought home his girlfriend, and she would sleep in our home.

“I usually get angry, but I cannot challenge my husband because I was always afraid of him.”

After his passing, Mama Ereko, who did not remarry shared her reason.

She disclosed that she chose not to remarry to maintain her youthful looks and avoid the stress that comes with marriage.

According to her, the physical and emotional demands of marriage can accelerate aging in women. She stated:

“If I had remarried, you wouldn’t be praising me for still looking elegant and beautiful at my age. I didn’t remarry because the stress of having intercourse makes you look older than your age”.

Mama Ereko also emphasised her newfound independence, saying she no longer needs a man in her life. She added:

“I’m already a man, so I don’t need a man again because I don’t even remember how it feels to have intercourse with a man.”
