Read here: Nkiru Sylvanus Addresses rumors Surrounding her personal life and Alleged Feud with Oge Okoye Nollywood actress Nkiru Sylvanus has finally addressed the numerous rumors surrounding her personal life, including her marriage and alleged feud with fellow actress Oge Okoye. In a candid interview with The Punch, the thespian clarified that she has only been married once, to Riches Sammy in 2023, and that all other claims about her marital status are false.


*"I'm someone who people have had a lot of wrong notions about, especially when it comes to marriage. So many times people keep talking about how I got married to this person and divorced, how I got married to that person and divorced, or how I have been married before.


But the truth is that the only time in my life that I got married was officially in 2023. Even though the marriage rites happened before 2023 actually, the only person I've been married to is Riches Sammy.


I've never been married to any other person before. But when I read those things on social media, I just laugh. It's just a simple thing, just ask, and you will get the correct answer."* She also addressed the specific rumor about her alleged marriage to Stanley Duru, Oge Okoye's ex-husband, saying: "Stanley Duru is someone I know, a friend who was married to Oge Okoye, but their marriage later had issues.


But I was never married to him. When I read those claims, I wondered if I had somehow married him in my dreams without knowing! As a Seventh-day Adventist, if I had been married before, my church couldn’t have wedded me.


Since I did have a church wedding, it means it was my first marriage. People should do their background checks properly." Regarding her relationship with Oge Okoye, Nkiru stated that they were never close friends and didn't discuss the rumors: "I don’t think so, because we never really sat down to talk or evaluate our relationship.


We were never very close friends—we only related when we saw each other. When everything was happening, we didn’t get the chance to meet one-on-one and discuss it.


I heard a lot of rumours, but she knows that I didn’t marry the guy. You should know everything about your ex, even if you’re no longer together." She also shared her approach to handling cyberbullying and false narratives: "When you become popular, there’s a lot of pressure and expectations from people.


Stories you don’t even know will start to appear, and when you see them on social media, you wonder if they’re really about you. Once I understood the industry and my exposure, I decided to wear a thick skin and see things from a positive angle.


If people talk about you, it means you’re successful. While I laugh at some things, I’m not happy when people are unprofessional. Having studied mass communication, I know this profession requires discipline—you shouldn’t write about people without knowing the real story.


So, I just respond by closing my ears, focusing on my goals, and ignoring the negativity." Visit our blog @www.estherokeketv.com for daily news and videos.
