Veteran Nollywood actress Morenike Alausa, popularly known as Mama Ereko, has made a shocking revelation about the emotional abuse she endured in her marriage, disclosing that her late husband openly cheated on her—even in her presence.
Speaking in an interview on Talk2Dunnis TV, the actress detailed the pain and humiliation she suffered, revealing that fear prevented her from standing up to her husband.
“Sometimes my husband would send me on an errand just so his girlfriends could visit him in our house. He used to bring them home to sleep over and even did it in my presence. I would get angry, but I was too scared to challenge him.”
The revelation has sparked conversations online about domestic abuse, women’s struggles in marriage, and societal expectations of endurance in toxic relationships. Many fans have expressed sympathy, while others praise Mama Ereko for breaking her silence.
The 79-year-old actress, who has also revealed why she chose not to remarry, has been vocal about her past struggles while encouraging younger women to prioritize self-worth and emotional well-being over staying in toxic unions.
