Renowned Nigerian comedian, Julius Agwu, recently opened up about the factors that led to the failure of his marriage to his ex-wife, Ibiere Maclayton. In an interview with The Punch, the well-known "Rattle Snake" star candidly discussed his marital challenges and his personal struggle with a brain tumour.
Agwu revealed that one of the contributing factors to the downfall of his marriage was his failure to seek divine guidance before tying the knot. He admitted that at the time of their marriage, both he and his ex-wife were lured by material wealth and success. He said, "I believe that any marriage without God would not last. When I married my wife, I did not even consult God. Some of us got married when there was so much money, and at that time, practically every girl wanted to be with us. But, after marriage, if anything happens to one, they would say, 'I don’t want this man again.' I suggest that people should consult God first before getting married."
The 50-year-old actor shared insights into his journey of recovery following the dissolution of his marriage. He acknowledged that while the experience had imparted invaluable lessons, he remained open to the idea of entering into marriage again in the future. He expressed, "Life is very good and enjoyable now. When that (separation) happened, I was fighting with a lot; thinking about my sickness and my family. I thank God, because I know everything happens for a reason. When there is life, there is hope. But, a time will come when I might reconsider marriage."
Reflecting on his current direction in life, Julius Agwu emphasized the paramount importance of health. He revealed that he had undergone brain tumour surgery in 2015 in the United States and expressed gratitude for his survival. He stated, "The truth is that, one’s health comes first. I have been low-key, because I had a brain tumour surgery in 2015 in the United States of America. I thank God that I am alive. Many people who had that type of surgery did not survive it. I believe God loves me because of my good heart towards everyone."
Through his candid revelations, Julius Agwu offered a glimpse into his personal journey, highlighting the significance of spiritual foundation, life lessons, and the resilience to overcome challenges.
