that lasted for just two weeks collapsed because of irreconcilable
differences and negative media reports about her and her husband.
On an entertainment programme, Rubbin' Minds, on Channels Television
on Sunday, Princess expressed her dissatisfaction with different
'terrible' stories that were published on the internet before and
after her marriage, which she stressed contributed to why the marriage
failed.
"My marriage ended in May, two weeks after the wedding. It is like a
mystery. Based on the fact that individual differences came up that
led to the collapse of the marriage after two weeks, I do not think
that it was a normal thing for me to begin to declare to everybody
that my marriage has ended.
"Mr Family and the guys family believed that we could all make it
happen so we tried. But around July, things came back but was not so
smooth. When everything finally ended it was really very painful and
all that. I didn't tell nobody, but surprisingly, people in London
were already aware of it," she said.
She said that there were so much pressure that came from the
publications and irreconcilable differences, which led to the collapse
of the marriage.
"Nobody goes into a marriage expecting that it would end.
"The guy is not like us - on-air personalities. We have our limits and
I know that negative media contributed to it. There was a day he came
home and told me he saw a post on the internet that talked about me
being pregnant and that it was why I was getting married," Princess
said.
On her job, she said that it had become more competitive, with more
stand up comedians coming to the scene.
Princess, however, said that for "so many that know their onion it is
not a serious challenge for them".
For her, comedy has to be in an individual for such person to perform well.
"Comedy is doing great in Nigeria, with comedy clubs existing in
different places in Lagos,"she said, listing the clubs and locations.
The number of women stand-up comedians is very little in Nigeria and
Princess stressed the need for women in the entertainment industry to
get needed support from the society.
"I don't think that the society is ready for women comedian, but we
just have to give these people a chance. The press should help push us
more,"she said.
The comedian said that she had been in school studying French,
expressing delight in learning the language, which she stressed would
enable her represent Nigeria well when called up for shows in French
speaking countries.
She, however, pleaded with Nigerians to be objective in dissemination
of information about celebrities, as it could have a negative effect
on their private lives.
