Venita
Venita Akpofure, one of the BBNiaja former housemates was able to open up more about her unfortunate divorce with her ex-husband who is all the father of her two daughters. It is not more news that she is no longer with her former husband, but she has not given the details she gave on the BBNaija 2019 reunion show before.
The reunion show was a special edition with the organizers featuring a mental health Doctor, Peter Ogunnubi, on the show to analyse the former housemates on their behaviour during and after the show.
It was Venita’s turn to be analyzed by the Doctor and his comment about Venita was quite interesting. Dr. Peter said Venita showed herself so strong while in the BBNaija house that no one will believe she was going through a situation as serious as a divorce.
“ She appeared too strong to play such a role, and I said are you sure this person is trill going through a divorce. She was full of energy and what I can say is that she found a good way to displace her emotion.
After the Doctor’s analysis, she took the time to explain some things about her current state and how she was able to cope with the trauma of the divorce.
The Mother Queen as she loves to call herself, though the divorce case was in court while she was on the show, she was able to find her strength because she realized she was in a bad state already and there was no way she would have continued that way.
“For me, I was ready and willing to completely fall apart and rebuild, I had no problem doing that because I wasn’t happy where I was. Before I decide to make that change, I found myself trying to figure out why I was alive.
“So for me, that was very dangerous, especially when you are responsible for other human beings. So I needed to completely take myself out of it and allow the falling apart to happen and gracefully rebuild.”
The feeling in the studio was so emotional and sympathetic while she was dropping the statements in bits. She made a switch from what she went through during these periods to talk about the state of things between her, her ex, children, and extended family members.
“I am happier with myself and with my life and I have a healthy relationship with my ex-husband, and my family, my kids, we are all…
“Ironically when people think when you do that you are at arms length, no not at all. He supports me, he likes my pictures, I comment on his Instagram. We are cool, we see each other and we play station together.”
Okay, now that is interesting. Divorced but still friends, many people have hailed her for this while others still wonder how easy that is for her. Tacha on her part thinks Venita has done well to leave a relationship she sees as unhealthy for her.
According to Tacha, Venita has taken a bold step for herself by walking out and she a good example to emulate for women, especially celebrities who are in unhappy marriages.
