Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro has opened up about a painful chapter from her past, sharing how a shocking discovery during a surprise visit to a former partner ultimately ended their relationship and reshaped her outlook on love and life. 

Speaking on the Lone Wolf podcast, the award-winning star recounted how what was meant to be a heartfelt gesture quickly turned into one of the most devastating moments she had experienced emotionally.

Osas revealed that the incident occurred shortly after she bought a new car and decided to drive to Baltimore to surprise her then-boyfriend. 

According to her, the visit was unannounced, but she expected a warm reception after making the long trip. Instead, she was left confused when he delayed opening the door.

 “I stood at his door for about five minutes waiting for him to answer. Five minutes might not seem long, but in that moment, it felt like forever,” she said.

When he finally opened the door, Osas said his reaction was far from welcoming. Rather than expressing excitement, he questioned why she had not informed him about the visit.

 She explained that the mood shifted further when she attempted to enter his room and discovered it was locked. Her curiosity grew, and after pressing for answers, he admitted that someone else was inside.

“I asked why he had a girl in his room, and he told me to sit down. I started shouting,” she recalled. The situation escalated quickly, leading her former partner to call the building’s security to escort her out of the premises.

 Osas said she initially left but returned shortly after, only to be told that he did not want her getting into trouble for confronting a pregnant woman inside the apartment.

The revelation left her heartbroken and marked a turning point in their three-to-four-year relationship. Reflecting on that moment, she said, “My whole world collapsed

. I’ve always been a lover girl, someone who puts my all into relationships. This was devastating for me.” She added that the emotional toll of the experience forced her to reconsider the future she had once envisioned with him.

Osas explained that, at the time, they had already begun making plans to build a life together in Baltimore. However, she later realised that such a move might have limited her creative ambitions. 

“My dreams are global and big, and moving to Baltimore wouldn’t help me achieve them. I needed to be in New York, around creatives, for this to happen,” she said.

With time, the actress said she began to view the painful episode from a different perspective. Although it was deeply hurtful, she now considers it a blessing in disguise that helped redirect her focus and align her with her true purpose. 

“Eventually, I saw it as a blessing. You were about to go into a normal life, but the creative life isn’t normal,” she said.

Osas concluded that while the heartbreak was difficult to process at the time, it ultimately strengthened her resolve and clarified her priorities, reinforcing her belief that some setbacks can serve as stepping stones toward greater personal and professional fulfillment.
