Sources Say Ini Edo’s Husband Was a Gold Digger, True or False?

“Several rumours have trailed the unfortunate end of Ini Edo’s marriage to businessman, Phillip Ehiagwina, many of them according blame to her.

However, according to Ekerete Udoh of the Diasporan Star, a New York-based publication, the reports are false.

In an article published by Vanguard, Mr. Udoh, citing an inside source, states that Ini Edo’s husband is to blame for the end of their marriage and not the actress.

 “Philip’s financial stability was still a work in progress but as a dedicated wife, Ini was determined to support and encourage her husband. She wanted him to be more frugal and to invest whatever resources he had in things that will yield some dividends. But things did not quite work out,” the source said.

 “Ini Edo is very industrious and wanted combined efforts from her husband to get things done. Eventually fights began to occur. The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the house Ini bought in Lekki, a beautiful edifice.”

“Philips wanted it to be a joint property, but Ini vehemently said no, that she would have none of that. Philips was said to have threatened to move out of their home if Ini refused to put his name on the deed. She stood her grounds and Philips also made good his threat.”

“He moved out of the house and took up residence with another lady in Accra, Ghana which has been his home for the past six months.  All entreaties by family members for Philips to return home were rebuffed; he wanted his name on the deed or no marriage,” the source added.

 “For three months, Ini Edo did not set her eyes on her husband and he had started flaunting his new girlfriend to spite Ini. Scheduled appointments by her father in-law to resolve the issue amicably were rebuffed by Philips and ini was shocked.”

“There is no truth to the story that was peddled that Ini Edo was involved in extra-marital affairs. It was Philips who actually did not respect the sanctity of his marital vows. While still legally married, he left his matrimonial home and moved in with another lady in Ghana,” the source concluded.

When Ini Edo was contacted about the story, she reportedly said that ‘she was done with that chapter of her life and was looking forward to new possibilities.’

“Ekerete, you were there when we started dating and eventually got married. Does anything that has been written about me, remotely resembles who and what I am about? I wish Philips the best in life”, the actress said.

Ini Edo’s separation from her husband was confirmed early in October after the actress removed his name from her Instagram page and tweeted the reason for their divorce.”
