There have been persistent rumours that Nkiru Sylvanus ”snatched” Stanley Duru from Oge Okoye, and they were
reportedly engaged to be married. In a recent chat with LIB, the Nollywood actress addressed these rumours and denied their authenticity.
Read interesting excerpts from the interview below:
Let’s talk about Stanley Duru, that name has been the subject of controversy around you lately, who is he to you?
I don’t like talking about a man because I am a lady. And it should be the man talking about me. A man should find me so precious enough to take out his time to talk about who I am to him. If a man would not be proud to talk about me, then he doesn’t worth having me. So for me to spend my time analysing a man, come on, that’s not possible. I’m too precious for that. So I don’t want to talk about him and who he is. If he so wish to talk about me, fine.

Is it true that you’ve known each other for a long time?
Yes I know him. Very well!
Yes I know him. Very well!
How and when?
That’s still talking about him. I don’t want to talk about a man.
That’s still talking about him. I don’t want to talk about a man.
Ok, since you know Stanley Duru, when last did you see him?
It’s been a long time. I last saw him about two years ago.

But they said both of you have already done an introduction secretly?
It’s all rumours from idle people. It’s all lies. For me, my private life is my personal affairs. So whatever decision I take tomorrow, it’s totally my responsibility. If it turns sour, I face it alone and if it turns sweet I face it. It’s my life. I do what makes me happy. Why would I even do a secret introduction, why?

So what will be your reaction if Stanley Duru comes out to attest to all the reports making the rounds that truly he is in love with you and wants to marry you this year?
It’s ok! It’s entirely his opinion and he is entitled to it. It’s no big deal. I’ve had a man take out pages in a newspaper before to talk about his feelings for me, so it’s not new.

Oh really?
Yes, I no be anyhow pikin o. For a man to have me in his life, he is blessed. I know what I’m talking about. So it’s a free world.

So you saying that there is no secret traditional wedding?
Like I said, I’m still young. I have years ahead of me and I’m not ugly so why do I want to make secret something as beautiful as a marriage? Why shouldn’t I be proud to show the world, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with? Think about it. If I’m having an introduction, it should be something I’m proud of. If I’m having a wedding it should be something I’m proud of. You know, take pictures with my man and let the world see it. That’s what marriage should be like. So the man too should be able to do likewise. So when the time comes, everybody will see it. I’m still young because I started quite early, there are many ladies way older than me and are still in their parents houses,eating their parents food.

But where do you think the rumour is coming from, those who are giving the media this information seem to be so sure and claim to know everything about you?Right now, there are no plans. As I’m talking to you I’ve not made any plan for marriage. There are no planning committee or anything like that as it’s being rumoured. It’s all rumour.
What’s your relationship with Oge Okoye, most people are also reporting that she is crying that you wanted to snatch her husband?
I don’t think she will say that. Maybe she’ll answer that question when you ask her. Oge is my colleague.

But it is being reported that both of you have an history as best of friends?
Oge and I were never ‘best of friends’, we are just colleagues. She is not my best friend. we are both into movies, working in the same industry.

When last did you see her?
I last saw Oge like 7-8 years ago.

But let me ask you, if you were dating someone a long time ago and it happens that he left you to marry another woman, years later he is coming back to marry you, would you accept him?
Why not? If I find him worthy and still attractive I can marry him. No one is above mistakes. In life people make mistakes and regret. What is meant to be will be. It’s our ability to realise our mistakes and forgive too that makes use humans. So why not? I’ll accept him if I still find him worthy.
