Veteran actress , Eucharia Anunobi has opened up about her failed marriage to Charles Ekwu, revealing she was the sole provider throughout their relationship.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the 60-year-old actress disclosed that she single-handedly covered their living expenses.
“Charles, if you’re listening to this. I am not saying the lie. I am not lying against you. He convinced me. I held onto the marriage, believing that it was alright, we would be fine,” she said.
Eucharia revealed that she had ignored her parents’ warnings about the relationship, only to find herself carrying the financial burden alone.
“He’s the same person who said he would be there with me through thick and thin. He’s the same person my parent said ‘Eucharia, this guy is not it for you.’ I was the one paying the rent, I was the one doing everything. Charles never brought one naira. When I started the battle of my life, Charles turned,” she said.
Eucharia also spoke about the tragic loss of her only son Raymond, attributing his death to medical negligence.
“The student doctor was asked to do a blood transfusion, but he did a blood extraction. I removed three pints of my son’s blood,” she said.
Eucharia married Charles, the father of her only son, in 2000. However, they divorced after six years of marriage.
Raymond suffered from complications related to sickle cell disease and passed away in August 2017.
