Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo wedded her UK based ex-footballer fiancé, Apo Arthur, on the 5th October 2013 in
Nkanu, Enugu is not a secret anymore. But Uche sure did a pretty good job of keeping it under wraps until after the wedding.
In a recent interview with Encomiumbmagazine, Uche talked about why she chose a secret wedding, how she met her
man and why she married him. And if she will relocate abroad after their whitevwedding.
Congratulations, we heard you are
married?
Yes, that is true. Thank you.
How does it feel to be married?
It is God’s blessing. It is a thing of joy, everybody prays for it.
Why did you opt for a secret
wedding?
We have done everything we need to do, the main ceremony will take place soon.
Most likely before this year runs out, the white wedding will take place. So, I cannot say I had a secret wedding per se.
How and when did you meet your
husband?
I met him in Nigeria, at a colleagues birthday. Immediately I saw him, I knew he was my husband. It is more than abyear ago now.
How did he approach and propose
to you?
He stood and was staring at me. He told
me something said he should just talk to me and he did. We introduced ourselves,I told him I was an actress, that was it.
Tell us more about him.
His name is Apo. He is from Anambra State. He is an ex-footballer based in thevUnited States of America.
A lot of men stop their wives from
acting after marriage, what will
happen to your acting career?
He knows I am an actress. I told him immediately I met him and he likes what I do. He supports me career wise. He understands what is happening in ourbindustry, he is in full support.
Why the choice of a U.K-based
man?
Men that have travelled far and widebknow what is happening in the industry, he is exposed. He has mingled with people from other cultural backgrounds and with different people. A lot of
Nigerian men don’t really understand what is happening in the industry, mostespecially if they are not into
entertainment. He too is into show
business as well. So, he understands the terrain. I think it is quite easy that way.
He has mingled with a lot of show
business stars, he knows as an actress, I have to mingle with friends so I can get movie roles. I have to kiss in movies and
I can be away for some days. So, it is a good thing to have someone who understands you.
What is happening to you career
wise?
I am still very active in the industry. I have been very busy of recent. I have done a lot, some of the movies I featured will soon be out. Agunba will soon be out, Onyewa will also be out. I have been very busy. More movies will be released very soon.
Will you be relocating abroad after
your wedding?
I love to be with him, but I still have to continue with my career. I will be shuttling U.K and Nigeria. Thank God I can travel anytime I want. I still want to continue with my acting career, so I will be on and off.
