“How would people say that I married her because of her money? ” – Prince Eke Talks Marriage to Muma Gee

Prince Eke, Nollywood actor and estranged husband of popular Nigerian singer Muma Gee, is speaking out regarding his failed marriage to the music star.

The actor who took to social media to accuse his wife of abandoning their children, (read here), says his marriage to Muma Gee is over.

In an Interview with Punch, the actor opened up saying he was fed up with the marriage. When asked if things could turn around and the possibility of accepting Muma Gee back through the potential intervention of in-laws, he said:

“That has not happened yet. Till it happens I would know what to do. Till now, there is no time my mother-in-law has called me to apologize for her daughter’s behaviour.

I guess they already know her antecedents. This is a woman who gave birth at an old age. I wonder what the person that is deceiving her is giving her or telling her.

Marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not endured but I have been enduring in my marriage. For me to say that my marriage is over, you should know that I have been through a lot in the marriage.

How would a married woman leave her child of about two months and four days only to go to Abuja for about three weeks to a month?”

Speaking regarding when his wife reportedly ‘abandoned’ their kids to attend a show in Abuja, Eke said:

“I was out of the country when she left the children especially the baby that is barely three months old for a show. Which show could she have that lasted for close to a month?

It was not till I posted on Instagram that she abandoned her children that she told her mother to come and bring the child to her. Meanwhile, people had been sending me messages on social media that they had seen my wife in a pub.

Which married man would be happy about this? There are several other things she has done that I would not like to talk about because I don’t like speaking about my family on the pages of the newspaper.”

In the past, allegations have swirled stating the actor tried to stop his wife’s entertainment career. Eke, refuted the claims, adding that he was displeased people even thought he would do such a thing. He further denied the allegations that he married her for her money.

“Those people that say I tried to stop her from being an entertainer or married her for money have no idea what they are talking about. I  have on several occasions helped her in her career the same way she has helped me in mine, that is what married couples do.

I gave her some of my equipment to shoot the video for her song, ‘Port-Harcourt is Back.’ I have also invested in her career.

“How would people say that I married her because of her money? I am solely responsible for paying the school fees of the children. Even when I am not in the country, I tell her to pay and I  refund her later,” he said.

With respect to the custody battle of their children, Eke, said:

“I am not agitating for the custody of my children even though I love them to a fault and would do anything for them. The reason  is that the nature of my job does not permit me to stay in one place and even if I say I would marry another woman,

I would not want anyone to maltreat my children or treat them like second class citizens in my house.”
