Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has recounted how her experience in her second marriage differed from what she and her family expected before the wedding, particularly regarding her career in the movie industry.
The actress explained that her family had raised concerns about whether getting married would interfere with her work as an actress. At the time, her former husband gave them the impression that he was comfortable with her profession and had no intention of asking her to give it up.
According to Bakare, he even suggested that if he missed her while she was away working on a movie, he could simply visit her at the filming location. His response reportedly reassured her family that she would be able to maintain her acting career after becoming his wife.
However, the situation changed after the marriage. Bakare said that once they got married, her husband told her she could no longer continue acting. This was quite different from the position he had taken when her family questioned him before the wedding.
She recalled the conversation during an interview on Oyinmomo TV, saying:
“When the marriage continued, my family asked him if the marriage was not going to affect my career as an actress. He was like, ‘If I miss her, I would go and meet her at the film location’. But immediately I got into the marriage, he said I could not continue acting,”
Her account highlights the difference between the assurance she received before the wedding and the restrictions she said were introduced afterwards.
For an actress whose profession involves working on movie sets, travelling for productions and spending time with colleagues, being told to stop acting would naturally have a major effect on her career.
Bakare's experience also brings attention to the expectations couples sometimes have before marriage, especially when one partner has an established career that requires time, commitment and regular involvement outside the home.
The actress did not describe her husband's earlier promise as a genuine obstacle to her work. Rather, her recollection centred on how his position changed once they were married.
Her comments provide another account of the challenges she experienced during her second marriage and the effect the relationship had on her professional life.
Bakare has remained a familiar face in Yoruba Nollywood, with years of experience in acting and film production. Her account offers a glimpse into a difficult period when balancing her marriage and career became a challenge.difficult period when balancing her marriage and career became a challenge.
