Veteran Nollywood actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola, has disclosed why she blocked her colleagues after marriage.

The actress made the disclosure during her recent appearance on Oyinmomo TV.

Opeyemi Aiyeola, who disappeared from the scene for over a decade, relocated to America after she got married to Olayiwola Abdulwakilu.

While explaining that her disappearance was to have enough time with her family, Opeyemi noted that she blocked everyone in the industry because of the fear of divorce.

The mother of two 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.

“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 said.
