�How A Strange Woman Hijacked My Husband� � Popular Nollywood Actress, Reveals!

Veteran Actress, Rachael Oniga who has been trying to keep her marriage from the media has finally opened up.

In a chat with The Entertainer, Rachael whose dream as a kid was to be a singer and dancer said, �I started acting in 1993 after I got separated from my husband; he�s late now. I was a full time housewife. I believed so much in myself, and when I got over the shock of the separation and all that, I made up my mind that I was going to make a statement without a man. I wanted to prove that a hard working woman could make an impact and with God�s grace, I have come a long way.

On how she was able to handle the separation, she said �The truth is that when you are focused and you know where you are going to, you are likely to succeed. I made up my mind then that I wasn�t going to remarry. I was determined to make it and make all men including my late husband know that with God by her side, a woman can make it in life without a man�s support.�

Admitting how hurt she was after her husband left, she said, �Yes. During our years of courtship and marriage, I never suspected that we would just break up like that or anything could ever come between us. Back then, he told me everything. I could tell you where he was at every moment; I trusted him so much.

Speaking on when she met her husband�s mistress, she said, �It was later, much later and when I did I was like �did he leave me because of this thing?� I don�t know how to put it but men don�t really appreciate what they have until they lose it.

Advising women in similar situations, she said, �Just believe in yourself and with hard work, you will get there. God is always faithful. I killed my emotions and I said to myself �Rachael, your kids must go to the best schools.� It was just work and my children.
