Franca Brown
She is perhaps the latest on this list, having been delivered of a bouncing baby girl last week. Franca, a lawyer by profession, started her acting career in Jos, Behind the Bukka, before the plum role as Mama Nosa, in Behind the Clouds, which put her on the limelight. With the popularity therein, it became quite difficult for Franca to get hooked, as men started seeing her through the spectacle of her roles. She once mentioned in an interview that ‘people often misrepresent the roles I have played with my real person. But I am a down to earth person.’
Perhaps many Nigerian men would not want to wait to find out what Franca means by this, and she took the bulls by the horns.
Genevieve Nnaji
She is one of the most outstanding acts to have come out of the country, and has broken many barriers. Genevieve’s decision to opt for single-motherhood happened many years ago, when she was in the secondary school. The result is her daughter, whom she named Lilian. With fame and fortune smiling on the actress, she has had to cope with many proposals shrouded in deceit, which is one reason she has remained careful about the kind of man she would choose.
Monalisa Chinda
Her single status came as a result of differences between her and the husband. Monalisa from the onset has the pose of an angel, which was why details of her marital squabbles simply shocked a lot of her fans. At the moment, the actress seems to be doing well, catering for her only daughter from the failed marriage. Of course, she has confirmed that marriage is not completely ruled out in her life. According to Monalisa, it has to be ‘for the right reasons’.
Eucharia Anunobi
In December 2000, when Eucahria was getting married Mr Ekwu, she may not have envisaged that it would end some six years later with N100million law suit. But that is he situation for this Mbaise, Imo state born actress. Problems crept into their union earlier in the day when they realized that there was a sort of class difference in terms of income. From available details, UK as she is fondly called is not comfortable with her status, and she has been trying her best to wriggle out of it.
Ngozi Ezeonu
Several people know her as one of the role models in the movie industry. She carried herself so well, and it was difficult for the press to scandalize her. But the only dent on that streaks of goo d record is the fact that she has parted ways with her husband and now stays alone with her four children. The problem with Ngozi, and her husband is being blamed on difference in income, and perceived indifference to improve the economic realities of the family on the part of the husband. He once relocated to the United States, but when he returned, things did not seem to improve with that.
Clarion Chukwurah
From her early days in the industry, she cut the image of a daring actress, who knew what she wanted. Perhaps that must have led to her baby boy with Shina Peters, (Clarence Peters) who happens to be a shining star for the estranged couple, as he continues to write his name in gold in the area of musical video directing.
Clarion’s attempts at escaping the single mother toga did not quite work out after her marriage to two other men, including the late MKO Abiola’s brother also hit the rocks. She has not given up hope though.
Shan George
Her first marriage produced two sons, but then Shan was just a green horn in the marriage business. But now that she believes she is matured, his partners do not seem to make things work. She has been in and out of at least two marriages since then, which broke down irretrievably. According to Shan, she takes a walk from a marriage the moment she realizes that she is no longer needed.
Bukky Wright
The industry cannot be blamed for Bukky’s status, because she was a single mother before venturing into Nollywood. Her potency in marriage can also be seen in the light of the number of marriages (trial and otherwise) she has been into. As she dutifully pursues her career, she seems consoled by the kids she is looking after alone. She has however hinted that she would keep her eyes open for that ideal man.
Alex Lopez
Her appearance in movies is being dwarfed these days by her starring roles in soap operas. Alex’s journey into single motherhood also started when she was in school, owing to a pregnancy. She later had the baby boy, whom she named Joshua, and since then she has had to fend for the boy. Alex is still hopeful that she would find her dream man someday.
Mary Ann Apollo
She sees herself as a proud mother of one, and that incident dates back to her days in the university, when she was dating an NNPC top shot. Later in life, Mary Ann would date actor Ramsey Nouah, whom she was living-in with, but the affair also packed up when Ramsey got married, moving out of their apartment. Since then, Mary Ann has not been able to get hooked
