Nollywood actress has revealed that she is not giving up on love just
yet. She revealed this and more when Punch caught up with her:
Background
My name is Uche Ogbodo and I am an actress. I am from Akpugo in Nkanu
Local Government Area of Enugu State. I am the second daughter in a
family of five children. I had a fair upbringing because I come from an
average family, but my parents worked hard. They ensured my siblings and
I did not lack anything and they instilled good morals in us. My father
was the best support I had as a child; I inherited my strength and
hustling spirit from him. I studied Mass Communication at Enugu State
University of Technology, Enugu.
Acting:
My father helped me to get into Nollywood. I came back from school one
day and he told me that he met someone who could help me realise my
dream of becoming an actor. Subsequently, he took me to the Actors Guild
of Nigeria office in Enugu. The Late Pete Eneh was the chairman of the
chapter. I was enrolled into the guild, auditioned that first day and
was taken.
Marriage rumour:
It was the biggest mistake I ever made because it affected me a lot. I
would say I didn’t look well or ask the right questions and that almost
destroyed me. I would not go into details about my past relationship and
I don’t know how an introduction became a marriage. All the traditional
rites geared towards making me Ato Ubby’s wife were inconclusive. I
knew he was sick before agreeing to marry him and we dated for one year.
I knew only a few things about him, because he chose to share only a
few things with me including his health challenges. I agreed to be with
him because I wanted to care for him.
Motherhood
Motherhood has filled a great void in me. I always felt needy but it is
gone. I guess God wanted to make me a mother in order to teach me
certain things I needed to understand in life. My daughter keeps me busy
and happy; I am grateful to God that I decided to have her even though
my relationship with her father came to an end. As a mother, I have good
plans for her. I will give her the best in life with or without her
father’s input.
Men
A new relationship is not on my mind now, because one mistake is enough.
I will consider a lot of things before I venture into another. I will
get married someday, when I find my soul mate, someone who understands
me in truth, and someone I understand. Transparency and honesty will the
bedrock. I haven’t given up on men totally. I still wish to be under
the care of a loving husband. I will try again, but this time, I pray it
works.
