| Odianose, signs the marriage register |
First it was the story of how Ini Edo, a popular actress who hails from Akwa-Ibom state Nigeria, allegedly snatched another woman’s husband, Philips Ehiagwina, an American business man, married to Ruth, who is also based in the same country. The controversy raised by Philips move to marry Ini Edo then, still lingers till date. According our source, what was meant to be a game of sex-for-money between three friends, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo and Rita Dominic ended up with Ini settling down with Philip as his wife.

According to the source, the plan between the three friends was to make as much money as they can from Philip, whom they learnt flew in from God’s own country America, by passing him in between themselves. When it got Ini’s turn, she rather gave Philips a better threat that swept him off his feet and an obviously overwhelmed Philips settled for Ini instead of the others, a factor that generated into a fight that have lasted for years, between Ini and her once upon a time friends. According to the source it was the reason why the both actresses who beefed Ini afterwards, were missing in her wedding. While these whole episode is yet to die down, there is yet another husband snatching scandal involving another controversy bathed actress, Mercy Johnson, who’s marriage planes to her prince charming Odianosen Okojie is at the moment suffering some brouhaha.
Here is a letter written to Linda Ikeji, by the alleged wife of Odianose,
Mercy Johnsons husband to be recently,
My name is Lovely Okojie, legal wife of Prince Odianosen Okojie, the man Mercy Johnson is set to wed in a few weeks. I was refered to you to help me share my story after all else had failed to stop another woman from breaking my home. I used to have a sweet home but now Mercy Johnson is trying to destroy it. I've not been able to stop crying or sleep well for the past few months. I'm appealing to the world and whoever knows her to please tell her to leave my husband alone. I'm married to this man and there has never been any divorced paper signed. We are still legally married, he's the love of my life and the father of my two lovely kids.
We got married back in 2006 in Regio-Emilia, Italy, attached are pictures of the wedding. At the moment, he's busy in Nigeria planning to wed Mercy Johnson, abandoning me and our children. Fellow women is this fair? So with all the single guys out there, Mercy could not find her self one. How can a woman not care that she's destroying the home of another woman, all in the name of getting married desperately.
I'm in terrible pains. What do I tell my children?
After receiving this mail a few days ago and speaking extensively with Lovely and a few of her friends to authenticate the letter, I reached out to Mercy via her PR agency. They promised to issue me a statement, which they did this evening. Read the statement and view more pics after the cut...(BTW, Lovely is based in Canada and she claims that when she initially confronted her husband about Mercy, he denied any affair and said they were just business partners)
