SHOWBIZPLUSng recently examined critically the trending issue of top Nigerian female celebrities who stoop so, so low by settling for ‘second hand’ husbands despite the avalanche of fresh and new men.

And in this carefully selected list, we present you the 10 top female entertainers who deliberately chose ‘used’ men as their life partners instead of fresh and brand new guys.

 

Nuella Njubigbo

Controversial Nollywood producer cum director, Tchidi Chikere falls in the category of ‘second hand’ husbands. The actor officially walked down the aisle with his long time girlfriend, actress Nuella Njubigbo on Saturday, March 29 at the bride’s hometown in Anambra state.

That was the first marriage for Njubigbo, and the second for Chikere after a bitter split from his beautiful actress wife and mother his three children, Sophia Chikere.

Their martial crisis was centred on infidelity on both parties, but they are yet to formally dissolve their union.

 

 

 Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage’s marriage to Tunji Balogun famously known as Tee-Billz was controversial regardless of the luxury and fan fare attached to it.

Before they formally tied the knots in Dubai, everybody was very happy for them until a Nigerian-American woman based in Los Angeles, emerged on the internet with complete pictures of Tee-Billz and the two children he fathered with her.

The embittered woman also accused Tee-Billz of not providing for his children and not having contact with them for some years now.

Although there was no explicit denial by Tee-Billz of the accusations, rather, he made a statement on how he tries to be the best father.

 

 

Mercy Aigbe-Gentry
Mercy Aigbe-Gentry is another pretty actress that falls into the category of celebrities that married second hand husbands. Her man, Lanre Gentry was previously married with three children to show for it. Lanre completed his divorce process before making Mercy his next Mrs. However, Mercy Aigbe also had a child before getting married to Mr. Gentry.

 

 

Mercy Johnson
Mercy Johnson’s marriage to Odianose Okojie was a celebrity marriage that almost didn’t hold. This was due to the scandal that rocked the preparations for the wedding as the wife of the man wanted to stop the union.

His Italian based Nigerian wife, and mother of his two children produced valid marriage documents to prove that she was still married to Mr. Okojie. To resolve that issue, Odianose, within 24-hours sought for a traditional divorce of his Italian wife in Nigeria.

Now their union is blessed with a beautiful daughter, Purity, while the sexy actress is yet in another nine months course and due to put to bed very soon.

 

 

 

Nse Ikpe Etim
Lovely actress, Nse got married in a civil ceremony on Valentine’s Day last year. She followed it up with a traditional marriage two months later in Akwa Ibom State. Her husband, Clifford Sule had already fathered a son from an earlier relationship before getting married to Nse, thus making him a member of the second hand husbands club.

 

 

Laide Bakare
Laide Bakare is more like a second hand wife, who got married to a second hand husband, Alhaji Mutairu Atanda Orilowo. She left her former husband, Olumide Okufulifure after the pair fell apart. Though there were lots of controversies when her former husband claimed paternity of her child with her new husband, but the fair complexioned actress was quick to tell the world she is happy with her new husband.

However, her new husband is on the run and currently facing fraud charges with the EFCC while some of their property worth millions of Naira had also been confiscated.

 

 

Foluke Daramola
Foluke Daramola recently celebrated her first marriage anniversary to her second husband, Kayode Salako.

Meanwhile, Mr. Salako already had three sons from his estranged wife before he got married to Foluke.

 What this implies is that they are both second hand couple.

 

Caroline Danjuma

“It is no fun being in second place, thrive to be the best, live your dreams, you have given so much to the world, it’s time to live for you, trust yourself and work endlessly. May the lord give you all your heart desires” Caroline had once posted on her Facebook wall while lamenting on how difficult it has been for her as second wife.

Nollywood actress, Caroline Ekanem Danjuma has been off the movies ever since she got married to her billionaire husband, Musa Danjuma.

They have been married since 2007 and they look very happy together regardless of her second wife position.

 

 

Funke Akindele

Funke Akindele's ex-husband, Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof is a well known politician and businessman within the Oshodi axis of Lagos State. He is better known by his alias Kenny Doo.

Kenny Doo was a married man and father of many children before he surprisingly stole the heart of talented comic actress, Funke Akindele.

Olufunke Ayotunde and Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede looked happy and satisfied, at their wedding reception on May 26, 2012. 14 months later, on Monday, July 15, 2013, Kehinde told his Facebook friends that the marriage was over, claiming Funke is the greatest mistake he’s made in recent times. After an initial denial on Wednesday, July 17, 2013, Funke confirmed the split on Friday, July 19, 2013 through a message from her publicist. With the crashed union Funke became a proud and senior member of those married to second hand husbands.

Ini Edo

This sultry star from Akwa Ibom State is another leading entertainer that broke the hearts of her teeming fans when she settled for less by walking down the aisle with a man that was once married in a very controversial way, Philip Ehiagwina, while residing in the US. In fact, several of Ini’s fans cautioned her against the wedding, but she still went ahead and consummated the very controversial union with her man from Edo State, who shuttles between US and Nigeria.
