 “I Blocked Everyone in Nollywood to Save My Marriage” – Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola Opens Up on Her 10-Year Hiatus

“I Blocked Everyone in Nollywood to Save My Marriage” – Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola Opens Up on Her 10-Year Hiatus

Veteran Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has opened up about her long absence from the movie scene, revealing a bold decision she took to protect her marriage and raise her family.

In a heartfelt interview on Oyinmomo TV, Opeyemi, who relocated to the United States after marrying Olayiwola Abdulwakilu, said she intentionally blocked her Nollywood colleagues to prevent any distractions that could lead to divorce.

🗣 “I was off the scene for more than ten years... I blocked everybody’s contact in the industry. I didn’t want my marriage to end like the others.”

The actress, known for her energetic and emotional roles in Yoruba films, explained that societal stereotypes about entertainers having unstable marriages played a major role in her decision to go silent.

“They say entertainers don’t have stable homes, but they don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. I didn’t want my marriage to end like that, so I chose my home first.”

Now a proud mother of two boys, Opeyemi says she’s ready to reclaim her place in Nollywood, having unblocked her industry friends and fans.

💬 Opinion: A Sacrifice Many Wouldn't Dare Make

Opeyemi Aiyeola’s honesty is refreshing. In an industry where fame often takes precedence, she made the tough but admirable decision to protect her home first. It’s a reminder that behind the glitz of celebrity life are real people facing real-life choices.

Some may argue she went too far, but others will agree that in a world where marriages are constantly under pressure, boundaries are sometimes necessary — even if it means walking away from a passion.
