Nollywood actress Uche Elendu gives opinion on marriage, politics

The stunning actress in a new interview with Punch has made it known she would definitely love to get married again.

Her words: “Of course, I am a very beautiful woman and I should get passes. If nobody makes a pass at me, then I’d be worried. But as a Christian, I do things right. I am mature enough to control things and make the right decisions.”

“Marriage is not friendship or courtship; it is a serious business. You also have to pray about it and that’s one of the mistakes I made because I didn’t pray about my marriage. When problems arise in your marriage, you should be able to endure. I guess I was always too quick to act. Give God a chance in your marriage.”

On her political plans, the actress states: “Definitely, participating in politics is on my agenda and I am working towards it. I want to serve my people. I am young and vibrant, and I have a lot to offer.

“When the time comes, I will let you know in what capacity I will like to serve, but for now, I’m still working on myself and praying. My faith should not affect the call to serve because, in the real sense, politics shouldn’t be a dirty game, though it has turned out to be that way in Nigeria. However, some people stand out and make a difference, and I want to be one of such people. As a child of God, I should serve my people and lead them aright.”

She also has something to say about celebrities who campaign for politicians: “I can only speak for myself. Most of the entertainers are just protecting their personal interests. Everybody has a right to support whichever candidate he or she would benefit from, and I think that’s what they’re doing.

“You know politicians like promising a lot; we just hope that they would also support us when the time comes. But most times, they get into office and ‘dump’ us. I don’t see anything wrong in supporting a particular candidate though I’m not part of it.”
