My ex-wife married me for my money – Julius Agwu

Veteran comedian and actor, Julius Agwu, says his marriage did not work out because he failed to consult God before marrying his former wife, Ibiere Maclayton.

The ‘Rattle Snake’ star stated this in an interview while talking about his marital issues and struggles with brain tumour.

Julius Agwu said that he got married when he was very rich and implied that it was the money that attracted his wife to him, which is why she decided to leave when he started experiencing the health challenge.

He said; “I believe that any marriage without God would not last. When I married my wife, I did not even consult God. Some of us got married when there was so much money, and at that time, practically every girl wanted to be with us. But, after marriage, if anything happens to one, they would say, “I don’t want this man again”. I suggest that people should consult God first before getting married.”

The 50-year-old thespian also talked about how he has been faring since his marriage crashed and he said that though his first marriage taught him a vital lesson, he might consider getting married again sometime.

Agwu said; “Life is very good and enjoyable now. When that (separation) happened, I was fighting with a lot; thinking about my sickness and my family. I thank God, because I know everything happens for a reason. When there is life, there is hope. But, a time will come when I might reconsider marriage.”

On what he’s been doing in recent times, the actor said; “The truth is that, one’s health comes first. I have been low-key, because I had a brain tumour surgery in 2015 in the United States of America. I thank God that I am alive. Many people who had that type of surgery did not survive it. I believe God loves me because of my good heart towards everyone.”
