In a candid interview with fellow actress Biola Bayo, Odika revealed that she could not conceive during the first five years of her marriage.

The delay, she explained, strained her relationship and ultimately led to separation when her only child was just one year and two months old.

“We got married and unfortunately the children weren’t coming. I didn’t get pregnant for the first five years. My baby was one year, two months when we separated finally. That’s the only child I have,” she said.

The actress, who proudly described herself as “one of the most decent actors in the industry,” emphasized that toxic marriages should never be endured at the expense of one’s peace and wellbeing.

“No need for toxic marriage, it isn’t worth it. It isn’t worth your life,” she advised, delivering a powerful message to women caught in similar circumstances.

Odika also urged men to respect the careers of women in Nollywood, noting that a husband who marries an actress should accept her profession without trying to change her.

“A man who met you as an actor should marry you as an actor. If he cannot stay with it, then he should go,” she stressed.
