NOLLYWOOD actress, Iyabo Ojo has stated that the first time she experienced poverty was when she got married to her ex-husband, Ademidum Ojo.
Ojo disclosed this in her interview with media personality Toke Makinwa while sharing her experience of being married to the father of her two children.
She said: “When I went to my husband’s house for the first time, I didn’t even know there were face-me-I -slap you apartments. Most times, I don’t blame the rich when they don’t understand the problems of the poor, because I never knew what poverty was all about.
“In my house, we had an industrial generator, once the power goes off, in a few seconds the power is restored. My grandmother was one of the richest women in those days. I had a car to myself that took me to school and brought me back.
“The only time I experienced poverty was when I married my ex-husband initially, it was fun. It was like an adventure.
“At 18, I had an account opened for me because my grandmother had done her Will in such a way that money was being paid to grandchildren’s accounts. I had money, you can imagine that as of 1997/1998, I had about N100,000 in my account.
