My husband slept with his girlfriends in my presence — Actress Mama Ereko

Renowned Yoruba actress, Mama Ereko has revealed that her late husband used to come home with his side chicks to sleep with them while she was home.

She disclosed this in an exclusive interview she granted to Talk2dunnis TV.

Mama Ereko recounted that she suffered much pain and humiliation while married to her late husband.

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

“My husband brings home his girlfriend, and they do have sex while I was at home with them.”

The actress said she feared her husband and therefore did not challenge him over his actions even though she was angry.

“I usually get angry, but I could not challenge my husband because I was always afraid of him,” Mama Ereko said.

She recalled that the emotional control he had over her stopped her from standing up for herself.

Mama Ereko recalled that she later lost the husband and was now forced to fend for herself and her children.

She said she loved acting from the days of black and white TV when she longed to become one of the actresses of the time.

But her parents did not condone acting as a serious vocation that their children should venture into, and she also could not do it under her husband.

However, when she became independent, she ventured into acting, but had to quit because it was not fetching her money and she had to feed her children and send them to school.

She said it was only well known faces that were commanding performance fees at the time.

She went into trading in engine oil and clothes, travelling to Cotonou in Benin Republic to get wares to sell.

Mama Ereko said she tried to come back into theatre again in the 90’s but the venture was not successful until she fully returned in 2003.
