Sultry Nollywood actress Ini Edo has revealed the reason why she remained single, saying this is because she can only be with a man who truly loves and respects her.
Ini Edo, while speaking during an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa during a recent episode of her show, Tokemoment, said she wouldn’t consider a toxic relationship.
Edo was once married to businessman Philip Ehiagwina in 2008, but the marriage ended in a divorce in 2013. She later said in an interview that she regretted getting married because she later realised it wasn’t the right move.
In a recent interview, however, the famous actress stated, “I’m single because all I want is someone who will truly love me. I can’t be in a poisonous relationship if you can’t provide me with the protective energy I need to respect you. I can’t be with someone I don’t respect.
“If you can’t earn my respect, then we cannot be together. What’s the point? If you get to a point where the man starts to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you; I begin to disrespect you. Even if you don’t have, it is about how you are able to manage the situation and the people around you; kindness.”
